- Howard Cosell talking to Frank Gifford, using the words "that little monkey" in reference to Mike Adamle's quickness. Howard Cosell used the same words as terms endearment for his grandchildren.
Howard Cosell used these same words on Monday Night Football in 1973 in reference to Washington Redskins player Herb Mul-Key during his 97-yard kickoff return against the St. Louis Cardinals, and ten years later in 1983 speaking about Redskins player Alvin Garrett, also during a Monday night game.
o&a & Patrice's bit on this explains it perfectly 🤣
A true journalist with a heart for serving the public interest. Here he uses his journalistic skills to expose the falsehoods of sports and media. Howard Cosell was no racist. Cosell was the acknowledged champion of Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos, as well as dozens of black civil-rights activists who spoke up for him.
His contributions were immense and his popularity was real, by the eighties he was no longer needed by the NFL. Foootball was mainstream in America.
Jimmy the Greek was fired from CBS for labeling Alvin Garrett of the Redskins the same thing
I think it's incredibly hilarious.
@Jeff, You are one of the few people that understand the whole picture. When Cosell wrote his third book "I Never Played the Game" most everyone thought it meant that he never played the game of football. Cosell clearly mentions in that book that he meant that he never played the corporate game. I am friends with two of his grandsons and have been allowed enormous insight into the genius of Howard Cosell. Thanks for the comment.

It was a double entratra
Racist? Howard? lol That guy loved people. Howard Cosell is a man of honor without a racist bone in his body. In every breath Howard took he honored athletes every time they demonstrated excellence. I miss that guy.
If there’s a white man that I believe isn’t a racist, it’s Howard Cosell.
this is great but..there's only one clip?
lol they did a DOC with the lonely music on this? god...what a world
based cosell lmao
Oh ok I get it now. Elsewhere some guy claimed Howard had said it in the early 70s, but I said he was wrong because I knew I'd heard Howard say it on MNF many years after that (1983). I guess we were both right.
It just goes to show that being colorblind isn’t enough. You have to be aware of the larger implications of what you say, even if you motives are innocent.
getta grip on reality cupcake snowflake you are EVERYTHING that is wrong with society
Howard's grandkids were all half black
fired for using the M word:)
You can't have announcers calling people monkey on the air, some may think that is disrespectful, others might find it not. Me personally I was never a fan of Howard Cosell
Yes,Howard Cosell mentioned the word Monkey to describe the Runs of Black Players in Two different Broadcasts.😫
And as you can see from the video, he also used it in describing white players.
What’s so wrong with 🐒
We all originally were from the Monk!
races wite dood
White racists usually use the term "ape" to refer to black people. In my entire life, I don't recall ever hearing a white racist refer to a black person as a "monkey." I'm not saying it never happened, I just don't remember it happening. But I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard the "ape" slur used.
Cosell may not have been racist, but it was a racist thing to say.
He meant it literally, like the guy was athletic and can move like a monkey is athletic and can move... The fact he got fired for it says alot more about what people really think about that comparison
Wow, how is it racist when he used the exact same term to describe a white player? Hmm? Some people just want to be offended. They thrive on it.
@@kldeaton When? Source, please.
oh getta grip on reality cupcake
It's not racist if there is no intent to hurt or using it in context to a skin color or race when he in fact used monkey before to describe a white football player moving around on the field.
