Comments Thread For: Reported Saudi Arabia Concept Could Cure Many Boxing Ills

I own the imperfect USA and I want it better but it’s still the best place to live on this planet for the majority of people .

You are deflecting to something else. But but it looks you haven’t traveled anywhere. To make such an outlandish statement is a clear indication of that.
No need for the expected “I’ve been to over three dozen countries so I know what I’m talking about”.

Let me be clear, I live here and I like living here. My life is here. My response is to those trying to demonize Saudi Arabia as though we are any better. We just executed a man with toxic chemicals in Alabama two months ago and we are planning for more. A little over ten years ago, We executed someone in Ohio by a firing squad. It’s insane to make those obvious toxic rácist vitriol towards a country that is changing the lives of athletes by paying them what they deserve.

At no point did I say Arabs were saviors of the world. All I said was the US is no different from Saudi Arabia.
We incarcerate more black peoples than whites, black peoples are three times more likely to be shot by cops than white. The list of prejudices against them is endless. These are facts.

The bottom line is boxers are getting paid more now than ever. BY ARABS not the white establishments here. We are here because we love boxing. Don’t you want them to get paid?

Black people are even more likely to be shot by...other black people.

Saudi Arabia did not invade Iraq based on lies.
Saudi Arabia did not overthrow the governments of Iran or Zaire.
Saudi Arabia did not orchestrate the Iran-Iraq war.
Saudi Arabia did not invade Vietnam.
Saudi Arabia did not bomb Cambodia and killed half a million people.

Would you like to know which country did that?

I don’t mean to be negative but I recall that journalist getting un-a lived a few years ago and was wondering if this surge in the sport has anything to do with that??? I accept it but greatly sorry about what happened to that journalist. Maybe completely beside the point and I appreciate all the much needed fights

The same country that has a major history with boxing, tons of elite boxers, good fight atmospheres and is a place millions of tourists willingly want to come to?
