I understand trash talking whether it's in competition or to the rival of your favorite team's fans. It's all fun and games until you say something that is really personal. While get that Steve Harvey was trying to be cheeky.
He used poor judgement to make light of the situation as far as the water crisis that the people of Flint are going through.
It's been two years later and the people of Flint, Michigan are still without clean water to drink.
STEVE HARVEY's response
"This morning callers and I were cracking jokes about the Cleveland Cavaliers loss to the Golden State Warriors. I’m a huge Cavs fan. The caller and I were talking trash about our teams and cities. “SIMPLY TRASH TALKING ABOUT SPORTS”. I made a joke directed at him, as he is from Flint, a city for which I have great affection and respect. So much so that I devoted a full hour on my daytime talk show to raising awareness for the Flint water crisis. I also pressed then candidate, Hilary Clinton, to offer solutions to what I called one of the great catastrophes of modern times. The and the caller laughed as my joke was taken in the context it was offered." - Steve Harvey
