One Twitter user replied to Barkley’s comment with “Sir Charles is a funny guy. He makes me laugh out loud. He can be inappropriate, that is often why he’s funny. If we cannot laugh at ourselves then we really have bigger problems. People just seem to look for opportunities to be offended.”
Another wrote, “For those that Don’t know, Charles went to Auburn and Ernie went to UGA. Longest running rivalry in Football. It’s all fun…and I’m a life long Dawg fan! Every school makes jokes about each other. Loosen up people!!! UGA people aren’t offended. It’s the SEC.”
