[War Room]

What does an american get out of an american fighter winning? Spence is a ****ing moron. Please put his lights out Pac

Hell yea, I'm supporting Manny and I'm not Filipino.

I know and thats the building blocks of racism. It's the same wiring of thinking. Support my country, support my color, its all the same behavior in a situation like this.

If people want to bring race into it then that’s on them. I have zero issues with any country man rooting for their countrymen.

I understand, I just think it's dangerous behavior in sports. It ends up turning into my town, my people, my color. I'm good with all that. If this was like WW2, different story. But in sports, I don't care if you're from my side of the pond or not.

If Floyd was from Iraqistan I would still root for him.

I root for a fighter based on his skill level, heart, power, speed, etc. Where they're from is irrelevant. At the end of the day Wilder is arguably 0-2 against Fury, and has not only come up with all the predictable excuses for his humiliating destruction the second time around, but he's created all new excuses as well. If Spence thinks fans are gonna root for a moron who claimed his defeat was due to a costume HE chose to wear to the ring, he might be just as delusional as Wilder.

lying azzz spence!!! he's picking wilder because BLACK! keep it 100! and aint nothing wrong with that but keep it 100 tho!

if it was an american white boy vs some african boxer, spence would pick the african boxer to win. stop the booshieet!

Fury is a Kronk fighter, and I'm originally from Detroit lol. Anyway, Spence sounds pretty dense here. I'm supposed to back a fighter because of geographic location? Some of my favorite fighters are from other countries.

Spence is saying that Mexicans, Whites and Asians don't support Black fighters from the States even when they fight against foreigners and it's true.

"He's so cringe"........it seems the meaning of cringe suddenly changed

You watched the presser last night and you still think Beyonce isn't cringe

I get that, but in sport people can root for their countrymen/women. The issue like I have pointed out earlier is people have different representations of that. I saw a lot of Americans who root for Pacman against TBE, those Americans were born and bred in America, who are of Filipino descent.

I root against Hatton when he fought TBE because am a TBE Stan. As long as you are not only rooting for someone based on the colour of their skin then am fine with that.

My father loved Sugar Ray Leonard, he got my watching him when I was 6 years old and I became a stan of his, as you can see from my username. So I personally couldn’t care less about race or skin colour.

That’s why when I see mostly those PBC stans on here bringing race into everything I just shake my head at them.

Well, you're obviously a more wiser man than the peasants out there. Not trying to endlessly fight with you, I do enjoy your posts Ray. Just that this observation is part of a bigger disease from my observation of the chimps.
