    unless they were about the dumbest people in the world then you would have to realize the connection you would get with those 3 masks together.

    idiots.

    Isn't that Bush 41 not 43? If this was a coordinated effort why is "Obama" wearing a Rockets jersey and the others are not?

    regardless of their intention, it definitely appears racist as others have suggested and it is an embarrassment to the city of houston.

    if you do not see the racist undertones from a bush, clinton and gorilla trio, you probably think racism does not exist and wouldn't recognize a racist act no matter how apparent it was.

    I am more pissed off at the 3 crappy rockets fans in the expensive seats.

    How can you be so sure? it's a comic mask. Anyway, the hairline looks more like his father's than the son's.

    I'm pretty sure the gorilla guy wasn't sitting there earlier -- because they showed the two ex presidents and during the telecast and they were sitting by themselves. It looks to me like gorilla guy paid them a visit and unintentionally created the perception.

    Chuckle worthy.

    This. It would be racist if the Gorilla was wearing a suit just like Bush/Clinton since they would obviously be trying to represent our past 3 presidents. But since he's not in a suit, it's pure conjecture that a guy wearing a gorilla costume with a Rockets jersey represents Barack Obama.

    I think some of you are making way too big of a deal out of this. If it was so offensive, officials at the Toyota Center wouldda said something to them. Like someone said, they were some teenagers wearing costumes. Some of you need to toughen up.

    If they were indeed together and their intent was to portray Obama as a monkey... Then no, it's not "too big of a deal".

    And you can be plenty tough and still think that it is ridiculous and stupid as sh1te.
