Charles Barkley‘s humor has often got him in trouble. Whenever speaking of San Antonio, the Philadelphia 76ers legend always mentioned how the city has large women who like to eat their churros. Needless to say, his comments were criticized by netizens. Turner Sports even asked him to stop making such remarks, which led to an apology. The Chuckster will have a chance to explore that city properly next year as he revealed his plans for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
The 11x NBA All-Star recently shared a clip of him enjoying his churros on Instagram. In the video, he hilariously says, “San Antonio Guess who’s coming to town?” He seemed to hint about the next March Madness Final Four, which will be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, on April 5 and 7. Chuck just found a humorous way to share his 2025 plans.
Barkley has been a college sports fanatic for decades. He has served as a studio analyst for the joint coverage of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament between Turner Sports and CBS. Barkley has broadcast every Final Four since 2011 and he will continue doing that in San Antonio next year. But it was the clip of him munching on his churros that caught fans’ attention.
