Comments Thread For: Orlando Cruz Not Intimidated By Slurs and Fan Hate

He is probably bisexual. This is a men´s sport.

Gays are still abused, beaten and killed in some places. The fact that so many people have such an issue with it means what he is doing is inspiring to them, and provokes discussion and debate, and therefore the issue of prejudice and human rights are being addressed. Its how society progresses. It was the same with racism or any form of bigotry. People would instantly ridicule a black person and use racist language and think it was ok. We see the same thing here with Cruz. The fact so many of the posts concerning him use insults when addressing him shows how much ignorance there is. Thanks for the cliche college lesson. Tell me, what is ignorance to you? All kinds of people are abused, beaten, and killed for all kinds of sh*t. That's life and you or your idealist mindset aren't going to change anything. Enjoy your little shell while it lasts. Good fight by Cruz. He did soooooo good. Maybe he'll get a participation ribbon. And maybe, oh boy, maybe Obama will present it to him. My fingers are crossed.

If he takes that belt ...........he is going to make bank. TRUST me when I say he will be interviewed all over the place if he becomes a champion.

You seem to care a lot! look at how much you're talking about him. Ur just mad he's a hero and you arent:wave: Just so you know, I've defended this country called America on more than one occasion buddy. This guy is a damn boxer, he hasn't done anything worth calling him a hero. I stood up to my brother, am I damn hero? You've slapped all the "REAL" heroes in the face with this wack *ss comment.

The puerto rican basically quit on Cruz not surprising giving you know puerto ricans and quitting but damn just cause dude is gay they treat him like that, even Salido show the dude some love. shut your fukn mouth you idiot generalist. go fuk yourself.

No not at all, it really matters to those that hate him for being gay tho. Its like asking if Rosa Park's skin color mattered when she sat in the front of the bus. It's not her skin color that made her a hero :). This has nothing to do with the civil rights movement. It's being blown way out of proportion. What happens if he loses? Will he get thrown back into a title shot? I don't care if he's gay or not. The fact is there are many other featherweights who deserve to fight for this title. So Im saying it, he got this shot because he's gay and it makes for a great story about overcoming obstacles. People eat that sh*t up. Lol salido is coming off a loss, whys he getting a title shot? First of all They are fighting for a vacant belt, so you have to question why they are giving this fight a belt. He isn't being put in there with a belt holder

LOL, trolling much. This blatant explotation by Cruz of his f@gotry will result in him being better known for taking it in the ass rather than for his boxing and that it is what most people are tired of. This should be about boxing, we don't care if he takes it in the ass we just want to see a fight. If you don't care then why do you keep commenting on it? Also why do you care if he is "exploiting" the fact that he's gay, what's it to you? :thinking: Insecure much? I noticed you love to say "taking it up the ass" a lot. Closet fantasy? :cool2:

He's not a hero. He's a professional boxer. Why should his sexual orientation matter? Does it matter that much to you? How is he a hero? Who did he save? What diseases did he cure? How is he brave? Because he opened up about a lifestyle he "chooses" to live? Is that it? Gays are still abused, beaten and killed in some places.

Because he's standing up to the bigotry and hatred that accompanies gays. He's Martin Luther King Jr of the homosexual rights movement LOL, trolling much.

Ok media. Has anyone analyzed or broke down this fight? Every article that has been written has been about Cruz being gay. All this talk about equal rights, and he's not being treated as an equal fighter. What are his keys to victory? How does he plan on holding off Salido's pressure? What's his fight strategy? I mean damn. Enough is enough already. He's out of the closet, now its time to fight.

He really is squeezing every bit of attention he can. All the best to him. It's working to get him attention. I guess u cant fault him from a business perspective, who was he before this, who cared? Gotta earn that money im afraid... Just thinking he could really work it to his advantges, talking mad gay **** in the clinches and stuff, would really freak a tough guy like Salido out and get him wild and wreckless

Everyone applauding this guy for coming out of the closet! Big woof, does he deserve an award now? It's not like he discovered the secrets to the damn universe. He's gay, so what? People act like him coming out is such a big thing. Who gives a ****? No one should be surprised by people insulting him because he's gay. Not everyone agrees with the lifestyle and it'll be that way until the end of time. People should stop being so ****ing sensitive and just accept that homosexuality will forever be pissed on. Nobody gives a **** that this guy comes out of the closet or anyone else for that matter. Quit glorifying the **** as if it's a great accomplishment. Only thing he did was open himself up to insults and ridicule. You seem to care a lot! look at how much you're talking about him. Ur just mad he's a hero and you arent:wave:

He used his sexual orientation to get a title shot he doesn't deserve. It's just another media freak show. If anything, the gay community should be embarrassed he had to take a shortcut. I suppose I'm ignorant now for saying that. Haha! Don't kill him Salido. You'll be arrested for a hate crime. Funny how gay or straight doesn't matter but we glorify **** for being "brave." Nothing heroic about suckin dick. ****in hypocrites. Oops, there I go being ignorant again. LMAO!! Preach

Cruz is such a brave man and hero. The bigots dont bother him, the haters are his motivators! His reign starts today! How is he a hero? Who did he save? What diseases did he cure? How is he brave? Because he opened up about a lifestyle he "chooses" to live? Is that it?

ORLANDO CRUZ is chasing a slice of sporting history tonight when he bids to become the first openly gay boxer to win a world title. Boxing's macho world was floored when the Puerto Rican made his bombshell admission this year. Cruz, 32, challenges Orlando Salido for the vacant WBO featherweight crown in Las Vegas and plans to celebrate by marrying his boyfriend. The 2000 Olympian, who has won 20 of his 23 contests, said: “I feel free to just get on with the boxing. “I’m not fighting two opponents any longer and that is a great relief. The nights of staying awake and crying are over. Click Here To Read More] Everyone applauding this guy for coming out of the closet! Big woof, does he deserve an award now?

Hahaha! Yeah, they're so ignorant. Such ignorance. I hate those ignoramuses. Haha! Cruz is suuuuch an inspiration. He should be given an award for being such proud ****sucker. Sorry, shouldn't use offensive words like that. I'm an ignorant breeder. Acknowledging there is a problem is the first step in correcting it, so good for you.
