Charles Barkley Doubles Down on Comparing Georgia Women to Bulldogs Despite Backlash: I Was Wrong, There’s Actually ‘Two Good Looking’ Ones

Two weeks after insulting Georgia women by comparing them to bulldogs, Charles Barkley doubled down on his slander with a faux apology.

“I’ve got to apologize,” Barkley told his Inside the NBA co-hosts on TNT. “When I was playing golf, there was two Georgia signs in the yard that said ‘a hot Georgia Bulldog lives here.’ So apparently there’s two good looking women that went to Georgia. The rest of them are bulldogs.”

The slight came after Barkley received criticism over the last two weeks for making a similar joke on TNT. “Georgia, the only school in the world they named their mascot after the women down there,” Barkley said.

Following one week off to avoid competing with the NFL Draft, Thursday marked Inside the NBA’s first night back after Barkley’s initial insult. And the two weeks of backlash didn’t seem to phase the boisterous basketball Hall-of-Famer.

Barkley attended Auburn University, a fierce rival of the Georgia Bulldogs, which explains his disdain for the school, but not his insult toward women. “One thing about Auburn,” Barkley added. “We had no ugly chicks at Auburn.”
