I don’t see how the skin pigmentation of the audience makes any difference. Plug in a different pigmentation and this would be “nothing worse that playing in front of 60,000 sober [black, yellow, brown, red] people,” and there would a much different reaction.
Just essentially calling BYUs crowd boring. Harmless joke, IMO. It will obviously upset quite a few BYU fans that get offended by anything, which makes it pretty funny.

Gunther was the one who asked “what’s it like playing in front of 60,000 sober people” to which Bradlee answered, “the worst”. Munther at his finest. Bradlee was set up.
Gunther asked that moronic question? What a dips**t. Not one person at the media day gives two s**ts about byu, but Munther had to throw out red meat for his listeners.
