If you would read his quote, he did not say Black athlete. He just said athlete.

Now that is a fact, because you missed does make it any less a fact. Again I say not racial offense but a racial sterotype..not sure you are understanding the differnce.
Could you please help me out. I fail to see how a racial stereotype is anything but racially offensive. Either way you slice it, they are both racial remarks.

But hell, maybe I just don't understand the difference.

Throws a new twist on the whole debate. Maybe the stereotype of aging overweight white guys with young blond women will need to be debated now.
