Fair enough, I thought you were ignoring his part.
I didn't say anything that warranted his response in all honesty, I just find it weird that you think Vlad is some upstanding guy, I also distinctly remember him being one of the guys berating the NFL players that were kneeling in protest during their national anthem. That sounds like a wonderful person that would never say anything racist unprovoked.
I admit I am probably more inclined to like Vlad than an average poster on here, because we seem to have some similar views on politics and also on some fighters...but besides your sig comment I have not seen him make any really ugly remarks that I really recall.
There are other guys on here who I hardly ever agree with lol, but I would probably similarly 'defend' them if I saw them accused of something like that, since they can disagree on here without being nasty.
I never really posted on here a ton during the NFL stuff so I never really saw anyone's comments on all of that...I will say that those protests were very polarizing depending on which side of the aisle you sat on.
I personally didn't and don't have an issue with a player protesting in that way...but at the same time if you are going to do that during the national anthem, I think you really need to nail the messaging when asked about the protest.
And to be honest I feel like the messaging as to why they were protesting was terrible...Kaepernick was by far the best messenger imo and he was awful I thought...I don't think a lot of guys really put a lot of thought into what they were going to say after the game when asked about the protest.
Mike Evans on the Bucs kneeled one game and said he did it because 'Trump won the election and he was a reality TV star and it was a sad day for America' or something like that lol..really bro, come on lol.
So yeah I don't have an issue with them protesting that way...but when you make a grand protest like that to get attention, especially one that could rub people the wrong way...you really need to nail the messaging as to why you are doing that...and I feel the messaging was terrible there.
So I could see how those protests did piss some people off...I don't mind players standing/kneeling for what they believe in...doing it on the clock is another issue as well, as far as whether an employee should be able to make political stances like that, which could hurt the company/be divisive.
The reasoning behind the protests never really resonated with me personally but yeah I'm glad we live in a free country and that people can express themselves.
I also didn't say the sky was blue man lol, it wasn't really relevant to say that what he said was wrong...and if you or someone else was talking smack before that and then he responded in kind, why should anyone only get mad at him...you seemingly came at him and he responded, what's the big deal anyway...you can't take a swing at someone and then cry foul when they swing back, even if it's a bit harder than you swung.
So yeah I only brought it up because of the comment you made on the first page, and with the sig it just seemed a bit holier than thou and kind of childish...you probably made some comments similar to what he said, just man up and move on and be better yourself, would be my friendly advice.

hehe I see you've removed your sig :)
nuff sed
Nah I didn’t remove it, but I guess one of you must have reported it. Trying to stand up for buddy Vlad.
Yeah but racism as defined by you....but you didn't say anything about the instigator who started it all and was being racist towards Russians...
People need to constantly remind themselves that when someone says they are against 'racism' they mean it in their doublethink way where racism is bad but racism against 'others' is just called 'anti-racism'.
And don't do the whole 'Russians aren't a race', or that just opens up a whole can of worms whereby I can spread negative stereotypes about Chinese people because 'Chinese aren't a race, they are a nationality'. Maybe we can start making negative stereotypes about Nigerians too, because they aren't a race, they are a nationality.
The biggest phags I have ever met are the ones who cry racism ONLY when it's racism they don't agree with, but then accept racism against those they don't like but have the gall to lecture others and get on their high-horse. You're either for or against racism, don't pick and choose when its acceptable AND THEN have the gall to talk about how bad racism is as if you are a crusader for justice and that your opinion is more valuable than that of a bacteria on a parasitic worm that lives in faecal matter.
You're a hypocritical bytch and a crybaby to boot. Don't lecture others on nationalism and racism, trying to act all high and mighty. You're not Jesus, you're a faulty, hypocritical person posting on a boxing forum so spare us all.
Yeah I’m not reading all that, you go round calling a fan base “pro-grays” so enough said. No need to try to understand whatever moronic drivel you jotted down. Have a good day sir.
What are you talking about? My sig is still there. I don’t care about your opinion cause you’re whole angle is that his comment is justified because I must have said something. At no point did you say what he said was wrong. I’m a fan of fighters of all backgrounds and nations, I don’t tolerate or support racism of any kind nor do I fight racism with racism. Be on your way bro and have a good day.

Why did you take your sig away now btw? Also I've seen Vlad post on here, he seems like a pretty normal guy to me...my guess would be you made a comment like 'the Russian Kovalev needs to put down the Vodka and stop crying' or something like that...I'm sure if you just made an innocent post like 'Kovalev's drinking seems to be a problem for him' I seriously doubt Vlad, or anyone, would have responded to you the way he did.
People trying to be holier than thou/trying to act like an angel when they are culpable in a situation elicits eye-rolls from me.

No he was not responding to anything racist because he was responding to me criticising Kovalev’s alcohol misuse. Don’t try to defend him cause you’ll be making a fool of yourself or then again do defend him, your choice.

Oh so it was you lol...can't make a judgment on whether your comment was racist since I don't know what it was...but let he who is without sin....
Yeah but it is pretty clear that 'Vlad' was responding to someone who had similarly made 'racist' comments towards Kovalev...so why single him out and not the guy he was responding to...unless it was you, in which case putting that sig on there is doubly awful.

I’m always surprised at the level of stupidity displayed by you thick fat yanks. How can it be racism when I’m black as is prograis? It’s got nothing to do with race and everything to do with nationality as you might have guessed me like everyone else outside of that ****hole hate Americans regardless of race. It’s the opposite of racism true equal opportunity hatred you dumb ****s
My post highlights a case of racism which should not be tolerated by anyone.
Also I live in the UK and was rooting for Taylor, keep thinking you’re not as stupid and moronic as the so called “pro-grays”.

Ask your british hero AJ if Americans are soft
I don’t need to ask him I’ve seen it for myself crawford is the only one in that **** hole country who is any good. You idiots support a drunk and another idiot who got schooled by fury
Prograis is small. Now way Taylor trades with Ramirez. Ramirez will bust Taylor up.
So the excuse is that he’s small now? Despite both campaigning at the same weight
Funny how size was rarely mentioned by anyone before the fight.
your post contradicts your sig tho...that post in your sig was replying to one of those 'tribalism and nationalism' posters you are talking about.
ya boy lost, taylor won. now taylor can live Scot free in the heads of all the pro-gays on here
