Bryant Gumbel: There Are ‘Few Things I Hate More Than The NRA’

Posted by | January 22, 2015 18:00 | Filed under: Contributors Opinion Politics Top Stories VegasJessie


In the latest edition of  Rolling Stone, Bryant Gumbel expressed some very strong opinions on myriad topics in the world of sports.  One of the stories he produced last season, regarding the Eat What You Kill movementaired in October, 2014. It was an unusual story for Gumbel as he’s not an avid gun enthusiast. Gumbel admitted, “Obviously, that was my first experience around killing and guns and hunting.”

Bryant Gumbel has long been a controversial figure with obvious liberal leanings, so this viewpoint is not surprising. He has caused quite a stir, not by the piece, but more because of what he said about the NRA.

There are a few things I hate more than the NRA. I mean truly. I think they’re pigs. I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record.

I’m sure this will infuriate the NRA and the members of Congress bought and paid for by the enablers of domestic terrorism’s #1  lobby.  Wayne LaPierre’s NRA is a group that represents not the gun owners of America but the manufacturers.  They will oppose any law that restricts gun sales in any way.   Bravo, Bryant Gumbel.

    Cue the “Gumbel shouldn’t comment on gun issues, because he’s a celebrity” crowd, who will then go to YouTube to watch a Nugent video about gun rights

    Don’t expect any condemnations of Mr. Gumbel from me.

    Right wingers have made it eminently clear that they have zero respect for liberals and what we believe in. They have expressed that sentiment without any hint of civility or common decency. About time they receive the treatment they so readily dish out to others.

    I have no problem with Gumbel returning the favor to the Ted Nugents, Sandy Rios, Caleb Howes, Ben Carsons et al of the world.

    Let them swallow a big dose of their own medicine.

    Cue all the RW pundits bitching that Byrant shouldn’t talk about something he “knows nothing about”, forgetting how they perceive themselves experts on everything from international relations to economics and what’s best for women and their lady parts, along with every other subject in the universe.

    Foul hypocrites.

    ps: Good for you Byrant. but get your poncho and rubber boots on…a shit storm is heading your way. If you don’t have rubber boots, use bread bags…worked for Joni.

    Well said sir. The NRA are quite simply Republican Terrorists – their only purpose is to terrorize those of us without guns into submitting to their warped view of the world. They are nothing more than ISIS in dungarees.

      The NRA is a terrorist organization.

    “I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape.”

    Roger That! once

    and I say again Roger That twice.

    money/power are the only motivation for the NRA.
