WWE Friday Night SmackDown: The good, the bad, & the ugly 

The Ugly - Erin Andrews' 'posse' remark

FOX's Erin Andrews

Erin Andrews is a spectacular reporter when her job includes covering a sport she knows. A regular staple on FOX's NFL Sunday broadcast, Andrews is a recognizable mainstream talent, but she stumbled severely on Friday Night SmackDown.

When interviewing The New Day backstage, Andrews admitted, "I know who you aren't." Her body language indicated that she was uncomfortable, as she leaned away from the raucous trio.

Like a deer in headlights, Andrews gazed at what was likely a teleprompter and then acted as if it was a surprise that Kingston was in the underdog role against Brock Lesnar. Kingston kindly informed her that he has been in the underdog role his entire WWE career.

Then Andrews referred to The New Day, as Kingston's "posse." The New Day told Andrews that they have been called many things before, but never "posse."

The word caused a lot of trouble for NBA Hall of Famer Phil Jackson. In 2016, Jackson landed in hot water when he referred to Lebron James and his business manager, as a posse. James took exception to the word and believed it to be racially coded. Jackson claimed ignorance and has since apologized.

The incident was widely talked about in the mainstream sports world, from which Andrews derives. She should know better.
