Good thing he didn't say, "The monkeys are running the zoo". I've heard that as well, and it's meant to say the same thing. Some of it comes down to people just being too sensitive and too quick to take offense, and not try to understand the intent above the words. Some of it falls on speakers being just plain dumb in their words, and not thinking before they speak. In NFL football terms, I don't think that was a catch. Some are calling it a catch. Maybe we're both wrong.
