Comments Thread For: Riyadh Season has boxing media independence on the ropes

[Butt stuff]

You're knowingly conflating two distinct issues in order to make yourself out to be some sort of victim.

There are ample places for you to have your asinine culture war which don't involve a boxing forum.

Ok great, let’s answer this.

Firstly, I’m not a victim in the slightest - I’m not affected personally by either sides of the conflict (counting my blessings). Neither does the suppression of this issue affect my life. I am lucky to live where I do, and where my loved ones are safe.

Secondly, whilst Boxingscene/Saudi and Boxingscene Website Censorship are two disctinct issues, they are also the same issue at the core. Censorship.

Saudi/Turki have not taken well to Boxingscene’s reporting on them, so they have been excluded from the event. This, is in essence, censorship. Boxingscene have now published an article crying suppression of free speech etc.

You can call out hypocrisy without being a victim of it.

And for what it’s worth, I agree with the article, I just believe the site owners should take that onboard themselves. I can understand wanting to block hate speech, but it seems strange to censor the name of a whole people on one side of a conflict.

Had to stop reading, entitled to diatribe.

Perhaps if bs spoke out strongly about the corruption in boxing & whats wrong with it, worked with tko instead of oking everything & sweeping it under the carpet so you get free tickets for fights which tko are trying to do, make the sport better you'd be invited.

You care more about clicks than the sport.
