You know your city has a problem when Charles Barkley starts ragging on it.
And that’s just what happened on Tuesday night. The retired Hall of Famer and host of “NBA on TNT” didn’t mince his words while in Dallas for Game 4 of the playoff series between the Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors. The Mavericks, in case you’re keeping track, scored a 119-109 win over the Warriors.
At one point, however, the game encountered a delay during a rainstorm, which caused a leak in the roof of the American Airlines Center where the game was being held. That’s when Barkley couldn’t resist trash-talking the Warriors’ hometown.
“You know the bad thing about all this rain?” he asked. Without a doubt, fellow hosts Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith foresaw what was coming.
“It’s not raining in San Francisco to clean off those dirty ass streets,” Barkley continued, answering his own question.
“It’s a great city,” he admitted. “But all that dirtiness & homelessness—y’all gotta clean that off the streets…San Francisco needs a good washing.”

Of course, he wasn’t wrong, and Barkley’s observations elicited a spirited defense of the City by the Bay from his co-hosts. It’s not an easy thing to do, given the unchecked homelessness and vagrancy that plagues the city’s streets, and has made the city a byword on account of the cruel, failed liberal policies enacted by its leftist elites.
After all, the Sa Francisco has its own app dedicated to mapping the prevalence of feces on its streets. It’s called “SnapCrap.”
When the broadcast image shifted to a live scene outside the Chase Center in San Francisco, where the Warriors play their home games, Kenny Smith observed that the scene “looks beautiful.”
Barkley was unimpressed. “That’s the good part of San Francisco,” he said. “Unfortunately TNT put us in the bad part.”
That was presumably a reference to the fact that, although Barkley and his co-hosts stay in swanky Nob Hill when they’re in San Francisco, it’s not too far from the decidedly less-swanky Tenderloin district.
It’s not the first time Barkley has taken shots at the Golden Gate City. Apparently, there’s bad blood between Sir Charles and fans of the Warriors, and Barkley never misses an opportunity to stick it to them.
According to the Daily Mail, an exchange last week between Barkley and some Warriors fans led the former basketball player to explain in graphic language his plans for an intimate encounter with their mothers—or perhaps he should have said “birthing bodies,” to use the correct woke nomenclature currently in use in places like San Francisco.
“Hey, you guys,” he shouted, in response to their heckling during a commercial break, “leave me alone or I’ll come to your house and f*** your mama!”

The heckling was probably justified, given that Barkley informed Draymond Green of the Warriors “I don’t dislike the [San Francisco] area, I hate the area.”
“The area hates you,” Green rejoined, jokingly.
Charles Barkley undoubtedly enjoys playing the villain in San Francisco, but that doesn’t mean his digs at the city aren’t true. Its filthy streets could certainly use a good washing.

Ditto that Charles!! SF is a metropolitan pit. At night the streets smell like urine.
San Francisco is no longer the beautiful city that Tony Bennett sang about all those many years ago,
That version was very popular among Sailors in the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club inspite of the “eggs and tomatoes” that we were facing when we returned to State Side.

He’s 1000% right! SF has become a Litteral shithole! Lived there over 60 years! Moved out 3 years ago.
The man ain’t lying!
Call it what it is. SF has become a literal shit hole.
Like all people who speak the truth of a situation, there’s always someone who needs to pontificate , as if recognizing and speaking truth requires a stated solution. Mr. Barkley called it correctly. Why should he not be disgusted? As for the bleeding heart pontificator, you haven’t stated any solutions. And unless you live under a rock you must know that any solution will not be enacted because the ones who caused the myriad problems don’t know their butts from their heads.
San Francisco was a beautiful city 25 years ago. Sad to see what bad politics have done. The citizens only have themselves to blame. You can’t keep voting for politicians who fail repeatedly. When will they learn?
Barkley is right I live 40-miles from SF we used to go their a lot. No more. SF has turned into a very unsafe sh!T hole . This is a classic example of a liberal LBGT+ run City. A drug filed sewer pit .
First it needs an extensive purging, then the filth can all be cleaned up.
Im sure San Fran. is a very unique and beautiful city. One that once was a thriving metropolis. It was one of the main focal points of the West Coast. Its a shame what the politicians have reduced it to. I know it will survive but at what cost? If their streets are turned to trash you can follow the trail to City Hall and the Gov.s office. So why not give back to him the refuse he has left on the streets. Deliver it to the steps of City Hall. If the pile is tall enough the Mayor wont be able to get to work on time. Not that hes very busy representing his city. However the positive side of this is that he wont be able to do any more harm either.
That’s where your wrong ,this schitthole in California called scumfagisco is a product of the scumbag newScum who is invoking the cesspool attitude in every California city,,,,🖕 newScum,,,FJB,,,,,,

WOW, THE OLD GUY WANTS TO SPREAD HIS SEED AROUND THE GAY-BAY WITH ALL THOSE CLASSY HOE,S !! F.J.B.
Washed or just FLUSHED??
Thank you Charles Barkley for your opinion and clear lack of any real solutions. Retired from basket ball and still tough enough to kick down at the poor and homeless. What a star!
Loser/morons like you always have the option of suicide, you know. Do the world a favor.
