Charlamagne gives Donkey Of The Day to Philadelphia 76ers' JJ Redick for slipping in a racist term against Asians in a video wishing fans a happy Chinese New Year. Redick sent out an apology after the video went viral, saying, "Just saw a video that is being circulated of me wishing a happy new year to NBA fans in China. Clearly, I was tongue tied, as the word I purportedly said is not in my vocabulary. I’m disappointed that anyone would think I would use that word. I love & respect our friends in China."
JJ, we heard and saw you say it! He belongs in the Trump administration with this type of spin.
