During the course of their interaction, Berkley asked the others if they were among the &#8220;losers&#8221; that watched the eclipse. One of his co-hosts countered that opinion; Berkley doubled down on his view. He indicated that those who waited for the eclipse were &#8220;idiots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Breitbart:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Monday night, during TNT&#8217;s coverage of the national championship game between the Connecticut Huskies and Purdue Boilermakers, Barkley called those who stood outside to view the solar eclipse in the U.S. on Monday &#8220;losers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Were y&#8217;all some of them losers standing outside watching that [eclipse] today?&#8221; Barkley asked his co-hosts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re not losers,&#8221; Ernie Johnson shot back. Barkley responded, &#8220;Yes, they are. Hey, we&#8217;ve all seen darkness before. Stop it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kenny Smith backed Johnson, &#8220;Not in the daylight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come on, Chuckster. Don&#8217;t hate on the eclipse,&#8221; Johnson pleaded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well I&#8217;m not going to sit outside like an idiot and wait on the darkness,&#8221; Barkley explained. &#8220;I could&#8217;ve waited&#8230; It&#8217;s going to be dark when you go outside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be at least 20 years before the next solar eclipse in North America. We&#8217;ll have to wait and see if Barkley chides the &#8220;losers&#8221; then.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Breitbart has the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/sports\/2024\/04\/09\/solar-eclipse-watchers-will-not-like-what-charles-barkley-had-to-say-about-them\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Barkley was among the hosts covering the Connecticut Huskies and Purdue Boilermakers national championship game. &hellip; <a title=\"Charles Barkley called eclipse viewers &#8216;losers&#8217;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=155392\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Charles Barkley called eclipse viewers &#8216;losers&#8217;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-155392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=155392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155392\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=155392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=155392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=155392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
