Bryant Gumbel, y'all.

Real Sports S24 E6, from his comment at the end of the episode, regarding the awarding of the 2026 World Cup to Canada, Mexico, and the US.

"...Predictably, the current occupant of the White House has tried to take credit for the bid, but he did little more than give assurances that he would not be an obstacle to the travel plans of foreign fans. And therein lies a sweet taste of irony. At a time when that current occupant seems eager to insult and belittle folks along our shared borders, better people on all sides have found a way to work together, respecting each other as partners...and as neighbors. What a welcome concept."



(Emphasis is mine on "current occupant" and "better people." )
