In regards to racists on the thread

[βetamax]

I think it's ridiculous to suggest someone is racist based on who they root for. I notice when I go to fights, all the black people are rooting for the black fighters. Do you consider them to be racist? Why is there a double standard?

We live in a free country and so we are free to root for whoever we want. I honestly don't root for fighters based on race, but I'm aware it may seem like that sometimes.

I root for fighters who have courage, good sportsmanship, are law-abiding outside the ring, don't trash talk about their opponents, don't use dirty tactics like head-butts inside the ring, and don't whine and make excuses when they lose. If there tends to be more Latin and white fighters who have those qualities, then that should explain why I root more for them. There are some black fighters like Shane Mosley who have those qualities so I root for him, and some white fighters like Charlie Zelenoff who do not. so I hope he loses. So if Mosley ever fights Zelenoff, I'll be rooting for Shane.

Yes, your free to do what you want but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with it.

The last part of your post is ironically racist in itself. Your essentially saying that's is the exception rather than the norm for black fighters to display "good" qualities.

1 no one is saying u are racist because of who u root for , whats racist is making the distinction of who u are rooting for by the colour of thier skin

2 the black guys u see rooting for black fighters ,how do u know they are rooting for that particualr fighter because of his skin colour u dont ,u have admitted u do that they might be rooting for the black guy cause he is more entertaining ,Denzel Washington /Wesly Snipes were rooting for Floyd against Hatton does that make them racist off coarse not would it be racist of them to claim they were rooting for Mayweather because they happen to have the same colour skin hell yeah & u think this is acceptable i hope u aint got kids cause they are gonna pick up some strange sets of values from u

u should stay out of these kinda debates Tunney

I would get madder if someone labeled me a racist as a boxing fan than it they did in real life. I simply don't watch boxing with any racial or national agenda, and I lose respect for anyone who obviously does. Believe it or not, you can root for Wladimir Klitschko to beat Tony Thompson and still be patriotic to America. Our country really can survive the setback and still be great.

You know, I could've sworn that Wladimir lives in LA and has American citizenship...

I only like to live around white folks and mainly root for white fighters...does that make me a racist?

The fact of the matter is that when it comes to Tye Fields there are no color boundaries.

He is loved by Black, White, Purple, Green, Yellow and Red men.

You want to talk about loved. That is the man right now.

Not only will he end racism and hatred between all man kind.

If there is ever a nuclear attack, he will be waiting where the Nuke is suppose to hit and swallow it whole before it gets a chance to explode.

Our savior for all mankind

Son of a *****. Tye "****in'" Fields. Fields doesn't believe in racism because there are only two races: the God race (which he is a part of), and everybody else.
