NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley doesn’t mince words.
He says what he means, and he means what he says.
During an NBA on TNT telecast in Dallas on Tuesday for the playoff game between the Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors, Barkley had some choice words for San Francisco.
“You know the bad thing about all this rain?” Barkley asked during the broadcast.
“It’s not raining in San Francisco to clean off those dirty ass streets.”
While his broadcast partners scrambled to interrupt him, Barkley continued:
“It’s a great city. But all that dirtiness & homelessness — Y’all gotta clean that off the streets.”
His colleagues tried their best to spin away from Chuck’s insults, but it was all for naught.

Our friends at the Daily Wire report:
Charles Barkley has been retired since 2000, but on Tuesday night, the Hall of Famer dunked on San Francisco.
The voluble “NBA on TNT” host let loose on the City by the Bay while the network’s crew was in Dallas, where the Mavericks staved off elimination with a 119-109 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of their playoff series. The game was interrupted by a rain delay as water leaked through the roof of the American Airlines Center.
“You know the bad thing about all this rain?” Barkley said, as Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson braced themselves for what was coming next. “It’s not raining in San Francisco to clean off those dirty ass streets.”
He added, “It’s a great city. But all that dirtiness & homelessness — y’all gotta clean that off the streets…San Francisco needs a good washing.”

You gotta love that Sir Charles isn’t afraid to speak the truth.
The world could use more honest people in it.
Many others agree:
The reason is because Newsom-Breed have subsidized a massive open air drug scene which has taken over two neighborhoods downtown and the tourism district.
It’s so filthy and dangerous that mothers of homeless addicts warn tourists against visitinghttps://t.co/u60vfqZs4M

Look, Barkley, San Francisco may be filthy and full of homeless people but… what was that third thing you said?

Charles Barkley is pleading with the city of San Francisco to clean up its homeless problem. This is the most entertaining game of this series by far

Scrolling through all the latest Barkley related tweets after he called San Francisco a dirty ass city. Nobody is offended. Nobody is mad. Everybody agrees. SF became a dumpster.
