More quotes by Charles Barkley
It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
Charles Barkley
I like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.
Charles Barkley
They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I've been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can't be in for any form of discrimination at all.
Charles Barkley
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.

Charles Barkley
Every time I hear the word conservative it makes me sick to my stomach.
Charles Barkley
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
Charles Barkley
Christian is going to be the strongest man in the NBA next year, because all he's been doing all summer is carrying around the luggage for 11 guys.
Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
Charles Barkley
I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble.
Charles Barkley
I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'
Charles Barkley
I was a Republican until they lost their minds
Charles Barkley
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
Charles Barkley
I just thank God for Dennis [Rodman], cause he makes me look like a saint.
Charles Barkley
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?
Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
Charles Barkley
The meek may inherit the earth, but they wont get the ball from me.

I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models.
