What Washington redskin did howard cosell call a little monkey on monday night football?
It was Alvin Garrett, but read further.
FOR THE RECORD: It has already been proven that these comments had nothing to do with racism. Cosell was a strong civil-rights supporter of all athletes including Curt Flood, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Arthur Ashe, Muhammed Ali, and John Carlos/Tommy Smith (1968 Olympics) among others.
FACT: There were THREE separate "little monkey" comments made by Cosell, (not just one or two).
#1. "You know that little monkey... again, the theorem was that he was too small for pro football." - August 29, 1972 K.C. Chiefs vs. N.Y. Giants preseason HOF game (re: Mike Adamle)
#2. "Look at that little monkey run!" (Unidentified player, game, punt or kickoff return?)
#3. "That little monkey gets loose doesn't he." - September 5, 1983 Dallas at Washington (re: Alvin Garrett)
