Dan Rafael: "I wish Vitali - Briggs had been 15 rounds!"

[Left Hook Tua]

people are too sensitive.

let me get under you guys skin too.


i wish the briggs went 20 rounds and briggs died.

i hope mosley gives pacquiao brain damage.

i'm rooting for floyd to get convicted and go to jail for 20 years and get ****d.


now by me typing those words , who did i really hurt?

no one. it's just words.

[Kagami Taiga]

don't know why he/they would remove it.

either way i have no problem with it.

i think people are overreacting.

it was a joke. maybe in bad taste but it was still a joke.

and i don't buy that "professionalism" talk.

as a writer he needs to show professionalism in his writings.

internet chats and twitter is different.

just compare your favorite nba/mlb/nfl writer's articles with their chats/twitter.

in articles they have to be serious , accurate and professional.

on chats/twitter they are less so. they will talk about rumors that they normally don't have the sources to write about , they make jokes , etc.

lol...u make it seem like it was some kind of private chat. it was a chat in which he was representing espn in his full capacity as a sportswriter. it was off base and very mean spirited. very unprofessional.

It's similar. Briggs spent a week in the hospital and was in intensive care after that beating, you know that right?

and?

i didn't punch him. neither did rafael.

Try typing that while publicly representing ESPN.com and see how long you have a job.

he makes unprofessional comments all the time.

it's nothing new. i don't know why you guys are all overreacting.

just don't read his articles or his chat.

so write espn and ask for him to get fired for his briggs comments then.

also stop reading his articles and chats so he doesn't get that much site traffic.

Dan is an ESPN figurehead talking to hundreds of thousands of people trolling just like you are.

We don't need trolls on TV reporting on boxing, they are annoying enough on the internet.

i dont. and just because he does it all the time, doesn't really excuse it. hey, my thing is ur a boxing writer. u write about a sport u claim to love, idont see how you wish harm upon a athlete in that sport. no matter who u are.

mate , the only reason we watch the sport of boxing is to see them harmed.

anyways i don't really care that much about rafael's comments so i'm not gonna go out of my way to defend him.

the comment/joke don't bother me so i don't care.

I miss the good old days of Bert Randolph Sugar.
