“I am not paid to be a role model”: When Charles Barkley controversially claimed to not want to emulate a parent-like demeanor in an advert for Nike

Charles Barkley hilariously claims that he saw 3 cougars last night and instead of talking about the animal, listed off 3 women’s names. 

Charles Barkley has continually stared in the face of cancel culture and dared it to do something about his rather, extravagant comments when on air. He has done everything from calling out the ‘big ol’ women down in San Antonio’ to eviscerate any current NBA players when they don’t perform up to the mark when on the court. 

Merely a couple days ago, Charles Barkley, while on air on NBAonTNT, had some jarring but equally amusing comments on Tara August, his boss. While August was greeting Marv Albert following his final game as a commentator in Game 6 between the Bucks and the Hawks, Chuck calmly said, “You don’t usually see cougars that are not in the wild.”

This was obviously directed towards his boss and the world seemed to move on. Cancel culture hasn’t caught up to Charles Barkley yet and NBA fans are grateful. However, it seems as though Barkley hasn’t quite yet filled his quota for cougar-based jokes as he unleashed another one during ‘the Match’. 

Charles Barkley has yet another joke about cougars. 

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers took to the green for another installment of ‘the Match’ and this time around, Charles Barkley sat and watched the two NFL superstars go at it from his commentators booth. He did not take to the golf course like last year and this proved to be a great decision in terms of getting more cougar related viral content.

“I saw a couple cougars last night. Olivia, Sarah, Anna. All types of wild animals up here.” The above joke was just that: a joke. Luckily, no one has been up in arms about his two cougar-related comments and it’s likely that we won’t.  

Somehow, Charles Barkley has evaded all forms of cancel culture and it’s unknown why. Perhaps people just do not care or have just accepted the fact that the 1993 MVP won’t stop saying what’s on his mind.
