Title: Weird sports radio phenomenon
Post by: Pete on November 14, 2008, 12:54:24 PM

Have you ever noticed that while taking calls from black-sounding listeners, sports talk radio hosts frequently slip into some sort of strange temporary black vernacular....and then instantly switch back out of it after the call hangs up?

I'm guessing I do it, too.  I also turn up the twang when I talk to hicks back in my hometown.  :dunno:

But the embarrassing part is that they are using the black vernacular that was popular like 5 years ago to what is being currently used today?  Best displayed by Chingon.  Thanks brah.

I'm guilty of the bold.  My voice gets even whiter when I talk to people with ghetto accents.

I can't help but sound like Phil Liggett or Paul Sherwin, complete with British accent whilst watching the Tour de France.
