Who is ****e lee? What a name huh!

come on mate! you did not just ask that question! Sp(i)ke Lee is one of the greatest directors of all time, and without a doubt, the best african american director of all time.

check out his movies - i guarantee you've seen some before. . . My personal favorite is 25th hour with Edward Norton. He also did a good job on the documenting the Hurricane katrina debacle. See: When the Levees Broke, and "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise!"

oh yeah, WHY THE **** is the word "Sp(i)ke EDITED OUT?! Is there some new, hip, slang connotation the word carries I don't know about?

It's the first four letters, not the whole word.

ahhh ok thanks my man. hahaha pardon the ignorance on that one! lol. . . still they should be smart enough to know that the "E" on the ending makes it clear

Considering the abysmal filth which is freely sent in and printed on these pages, it is laughable that such a simple word, which really has NO meaning, the equivalent of calling a Pakistani a "****", an Englishman a "Limey" or an Irishman a "Paddy", is regarded with such abhorrence. BoxingScene is indeed very hard-up for Administrators. They probably called the Sicarii the "Sicks".......Maybe that's why they were so violent.

Why, to call another poster a "Dumbo" is a far greater insult. I wonder how Jamacians, and Barbadoans like to be called "Afro-Americans?...... Not that I really care. Far too trivial.

I wonder how much of this pilot will be based on Tyson. HBO made that movie about him years ago.
