Comments Thread For: The outside world is no place for the demons of Ryan Garcia

Ok, I can believe he's reeetttarded

That language is extremely offensive so from now on please use the word "know" instead of the words "can believe".

I think Garcia is a good dude, but he has mental problems. The fact that he takes punches and use substances magnifies his problems. And then the God talk goes hand in hand with his the punches and substances. Hopefully rehab can get his mind on track. He should retire from boxing btw.

WTF is going on in Ryan's head? There was a time when he seemed ok. He will have to get serious to beat this.

I am not "anti-social media" as a ton of my age group is (I am 55). I think it truly has done a ton of good. As someone who believes in free speech at all costs, I actually am in favor of letting all the hateful, nasty people tweet, instant message, post on Instagram, or whatever. There are 2 reasons why I feel this way:

1) Evil only flourishes in the dark. Expose it to light, it gets destroyed. I have found when violence or destructive crap happens, it can almost always be traced back to underhanded, manipulative and vile activity that happened under people's noses. The more people are forced to say out loud what they are thinking, the easier this is to identify and defeat.

2) People are forced to see themselves for what they are, and not live in a bubble. Often, we can turn around from the path of self destruction when that mirror is held up to our faces. It may take a few tries, but lives, families, and futures can be saved. Not all, because there are some people just evil or self-destructive by choice. But most can become the humans they are meant to be if their bad behavior is drug out into the public square and they cannot deny it.

I honestly hope Garcia turns this around. I hope the rehab talk is genuine. I hope he sees the ugly growing inside himself and has his "come to Jesus" moment. It does no good for him, his family, or this sport for his story to end tragically.

Jeezus, defending a scumbag thet was a life long criminal, stuck a gun in a pregnant woman’s belly during a home invasion. George Floyd is burning in hell as I type this. As far as “racism”, black fighters routinely make anti-White, anti-Latin comments. Ali was a race realist yet all you goofs complaining about “racism!” worshio him.

I don’t think booze is the substance of choice for Ryan, he’d be better off on the ganja full time

He also needs a good kicking to sharpen up.

Amen to that.

He doesn't have demons. He's a giant baby who has tantrums. His parents failed to socialize him correctly.

He does have demons: his parents.
Have you seen how they behave?
I'm not really disagreeing with you, just putting my spin on the semantics.
