On whether Bill Watts was a racist: “Absolutely… I’ve heard him verbally abused Ernie Ladd unbelievably. You know, did everything but call him a human being. He got pretty ugly with it. Yeah [racial slurs right to his face].”

On why he never talked to Ladd about it: “God no, man. I’m not going to sit there until that big sumbitch, ‘This guy’s talking s**t to you, and you’re not doing anything.’ I’m not going to dress him down too… It is a shame, man. [Watts] could have done a lot of things differently.”
