Spin it however you want, but this foolish effort to turn that nonsense into simple "boxing promotion" is beyond ridiculous.
Kovalev, Kathy Duva, Egis Klimas, somebody has to take the hit; the simple reality is that Kovalev's name is on the marquee, so he's standing in the way of the statements made on his behalf.
Maybe they convince John David Jackson to take the hit, but to simply try and brush it off isn't going to fly
So you were saying you don't believe in the freedom of speech that the people who have the wrong definition of freedom of speech believe in? LOL.
That's a roundabout way & confusing as f#ck way to go about saying it just know that, but fair play then.
Yeah I guess it was round of bout. I should've said American's don't have the freedom of speech they think that they do. It's taken literally by a lot of people.
You & others seem to just have the wrong definition of free speech if you "don't believe in it" as you said you didn't, it sounds like to me.
Free speech isn't & has never been free from blowback speech.
I know what it is, I think you're misunderstanding me. It's free from the Gov. coming after you. There can be blowback...it reminds me of a few high profile racist outbursts though where people said it's free speech he shouldn't get punished for it. Whoever that old guy was in basketball is a prime example.
Mayweather, Alexander, Hopkins says something about another race. RACIST.
Kovalev, post an offensive tweet and has a history of saying racist things. NOT RACIST.
Makes perfect sense!
lol i remember when alexander went against chinese people on his facebook and everyone here laughed their asses off, nobody gave a shit though, it was just too damn funny :lol1:
Basically the YT thing boils down to this. Advertisers won't advertise with YT if their stuffs being put where they don't want it, I.E. it was on white power and ISIS recruitment videos....so YT overhauled 100% and said we won't put it on anything with certain tags....it's an overboard reaction, but from a company standpoint I get it.
In the end, money talks. Lol
Just checking in to say I'm glad someone understands what freedom of speech actually is. And also that I have no idea what Kovalev did this time.
Kovalev didn't do anything.
It was a video of a made up text convo between "Kovalev" and "Ward" which was supposed to be funny but "Ward" would say something like 'omg *****' then delete it and send something else. People went around crying claiming it was racist. Maybe someone can pull it up for ya.
I don't buy this at all. People wanna mistake free speech as saying things without any reprecussions from everyone. That's not how it works at all.
You can say anything you f#cking want, but the people, all of them regardless if the are genuises or dummies, who hear it also can say you're an idiot, racist, hater, selfish, etc and so on. Basically people have their own freedom of speech on your freedom of speech. Freedom of speech isn't some safety net to say anything and keep your reputation intact. If you say the wrong thing it can ruin you and rightfully so most of the time and sometimes even unrightfully so if you are speaking correctly on something but doing do ahead of it's time.
Freedom of speech is just about the government won't kill or imprison you over your words within certain perimeters anyway cuz certainly lying or other crimes involving simply saying something can garner you time in the clink.
That's exactly the point I was making. Everyone claims free speech though these days as no matter what you can't get in trouble for your words, which is false. Like I said I don't view it as racist but if people do you can't just claim oh free speech and think there will be no backlash.
While I do watch YT, I don't really do social media nor follow it so I didn't know that. However, what you're saying further reinforces my point that we're leaving in a pansy ass world today. I can't believe that anyone would think of that word as racist, not in the context it was used anyway.
Lol yea. People are quick to throw around the whole freedom of speech thing without actually knowing what it is.

Thats retarded. That video was funny.
I thought it was funny....
whoever made the video must follow boxing cuz it came out like if they were actually texting each other :rofl:

Can we all just agree that Batman is clearly a better superhero than Spideman and that the only reason these Spider*** fans root for him is because they don't want a black costume wearer to do good, fxcking racist bullshiet!
If you've been following Youtube's thing lately you'd understand why. Basically any video that has cursing, racial slurs, talks about violence where someone dies (even if its a news story), and other things....is prohibited from advertisers. Hence the racist tag. Basically none of those videos can get ad money.

Although I didn't see it as racist....freedom of speech only applies really to not receiving charges from the government. You don't really have freedom of speech in America.
Lol yea. People are quick to throw around the whole freedom of speech thing without actually knowing what it is.
Ward fan here... fellow black man and all and..... THAT VID WAS HILARIOUS!!
I laughed at it, you need to lighten up. There's a lot of racism in the world but that video did not contribute to it.
Take the hit for what? Last I heard we have freedom of speech in the USA. That would include boxers you don't like who say things you don't like.

Wait... This is about the texting video? LMAO
Idk what's more sad, this thread or that YT actually deemed the video as racist as stated in this thread.
This new... society or whatever the f*ck you wanna call it sucks d*ck. Buncha fkin pansies all over the place.

Arum should take the hit, brushing off Toradol and a charade of Pac's career. Pac's cranium deformity is ATG!You always act like you are a fountain of boxing knowledge and an" in the know" expert on all boxing matters. You have only been following boxing a few years and usually don't know what you are talking about. Your ignorance and lack of boxing knowledge clearly shows in the BS you post and the stupid threads you dominate this board with. You should stick to the MMA you love so much. Maybe you know a damn thing about that subject. You sure don't know sh*t about boxing. I notice that many of the large number of threads you start each day are so bad that nobody bothers to reply to them.
