    Then that just creates the whole disrespecting the anthem problem.

    It’s just not worth it. The last thing we need in boxing is more politics.

        Lol all you post about is race and call people racist then you post garbage like this? **** outta here..

        Any ass hole could pick out a bunch of images of downed fighters of any race to try and prove whatever racist **** they're trying to. You're part of the problem clearly not part of the solution.

          If they wanted to they would. Pressuring/forcing/attacking people to do things they don't want to to please a group of people is what the left supposed to be against. Hypocrisy.

            Good grief. No. Politics does NOT belong in sport.

                I’m heavily in favor of doing away with the anthems in boxing. Get rid of those and take a knee in the dressing room if that’s important to you. Taking a knee is really whatever at this point but eliminating the anthems would greatly improve the experience for the viewer.
