So in Thailand this is not 2009, after all.

Stories like this make me understand why gay people think they still have a struggle...and the poor guy probably isn't even gay.

Sad.

Investigate the matter? That one got a fully belly laugh. Since when is a photo shoot the subject of an investigation?

[Mr. David]

Some unfortunate wording from Ronnie. He's "being probed," huh?

Sorry for the juvenile humor... but I'm just sayin'.

[Breakbeat]

Wow, I thought Thailand is used to all those *******s and ****...........

Even if he's a puff, I really don't see what difference that should make. The mag shows no more skin than would any magazine depicting an olympic swimmer or diver. Does 'good image' imply that gays ought not box? If so, that's silly. Especially coming from a country where child prostitution is so prevelant.

Today and yesterday some hardcore-boxing fans and MMA-haters accused MMA as being gay sport based on a video where Dana White and Tito Ortiz kissed each other in a TV-show. That was probably just to show that their many years lasted hate for each other had been put aside.

You guys have been completely reasonable about this and I as a both Boxing and MMA fan give props to you. It absolutely means nothing boxing-wise.
