        What happened to him?
        He went on a rant against black lives matter woke cancel culture and racism, i think he said most people crying racism today never experienced real racism and said blacks are the most racist, and then showtime fired him

          The part he said about American blacks getting competition in boxing now from Eastern Euros was a pretty bland comment. Not sure if he said anything else beyond that but if you can't say something as simple as that, then wtf

            A word of advice for all aspiring broadcasters and television personalities. If you want to break into the business never speak on the topic of race; Try being as evasive as possible. Unless you are the one doing the interview or asking the questions because it's a career ender. Sponsors woulld run and duck for cover and television networks need viewers and ratings in order to sale advertisements to their sponsors.Comedian Keith Richards, Roseanne and Jimmy the Greek are just a few examples of those who have done this and it destroyed their careers.

              He was the idiot for thinking out loud. I admit that he was baited and set up by that interviewer. However, he should have kept that racist shit to himself. What's worse is that he was thrown a lifeline by his former employer but refused to take it. So I have very little sympathy for him

                Man so John Gruden got fired or forced to quit but the NFL cool with a QB with 22 women saying he's a serial sexual predator still in the NFL. Not even suspended. Or losing money.

                  Likewise, he tweeted a lot of his racist and political views on his twitter account as well. Which was a very dumb thing to do. Did he think no one wouldn't see or wouldn't know what he was tweeting? He is a high profile personality; He is a celebrity. So when he speaks people will tune in just to listen to what he has to say.

                    In the case of Jobn Gruden I believe that he was set up. Somebody leaked those e-mails to the press. The NFL denies any wrong doing or complicity in it.

                      That’s the problem with boxing.

                      Black supremacists, white supremacists, Latino supremacists, Asian supremacists and a bunch of colonised Africans who have no minds of their own that follow white supremacists around.

                      I now see why he wears “Italian American” tops around. What he said isn’t wrong - Slavs are gonna dominate HW boxing for next decade. I don’t know why people are hurt by that reality.

                      It basically just how discrimination works when you’re a minority in a sport. Europeans were a minority in boxing for a long time but it’s changing now. And perhaps Pauli got the push back because of the type of platform he’s on and he was revered. A Joe Blow on YouTube could’ve said it and no one would blink an eye. But we’re in an era of cancel culture where people have to be politically correct all the time.

                      This is why I laugh when people critique AJ for putting a lid on what he says. It’s a slippery slope out there and you can’t just say what you want out there especially when you have a big platform.
