Charles Barkley is a national treasure. One that must be protected at all costs. Or, at least until he gets Shaq to laugh so hard he pees his pants. Barkley made news recently speaking out about cancel culture. His bosses told him he couldn't talk about those big ol' San Antonio women anymore because one complained. One woman. I don't know if she is big, old, or from San Antonio.

I do wonder if that woman has an issue with Barkley's newest term of endearment: "cougars."

"You don't usually see a cougar that's not the wild."

A "cougar" is an affectionate name for a woman over a certain age who is, as the kids say, fine as hell. The cougar in question is Barkley's boss, Turner Senior VP Tara August, as she was wishing Marv Albert well in retirement. No word on if she's one of the bosses who told Barkley he couldn't talk about them big 'ol San Antonio women anymore.

August wasn't the only cougar Barkley spotted this week.

God bless you, Charles Barkley. We need more people in sports and entertainment who just simply don't give a f***. If it's funny, Charles will say it. If you're a humorous scold, his ass is there for smooching.

Charles Barkley needs to be protected at all costs. At least until Dave Portnoy finally gets to sign him to Barstool. If it happens and El Pres DOESN'T throw Barkley a signing event in San Antonio, I'll be disappointed.
