Fans of every sport are always interested to hear what the most knowledgeable people have to say. That is why studios hire former coaches and athletes to be on the pregame shows, and it is why popular sports columnists develop huge followings.

Of course, sometimes people clash over issues because they do not agree on them, and then there is always the potential for fireworks. According to Deadspin, things got really out of hand this week thanks to some back-and-forth accusations between Charles Barkley and Peter Vecsey.

Vecsey is a columnist and former television analyst for the NBA. Barkley is a Hall of Famer and one of the faces of TNT's Inside the NBA, which is arguably the best NBA studio show on television. Earlier this week, Barkley - who has never shied away from giving his opinion - let everyone know that he thinks that Vecsey is a scumbag.

Well Vecsey was understandably put off by the comment, and he took to Twitter to address the comments. And like so many before him, he let his emotions get the best of him.

Bringing Barkley's dad into the conversation was bad enough, but when somebody calls you out for being at least borderline racist and you immediately respond with another totally-uncalled-for remark, then you might actually be giving credence to the claim that you were trying to refute.

Vecsey deleted the tweet after sending it, but it is 2015, and nothing is ever really deleted.
