Kovalev's manager: "Sergey is not a racist."

[creekrat77]

Don't know how you can defend this and it doesnt make it right just because they use this word in Sergy's hometown. That means he grew up using this word all his life. He said "*****" in the interview like it's a normal word used in his vocab. Now they have to do damage control with HBO and the public.

Anyone who dares to wish for some kind of repercussions over this "incident" is a absolute ****ing idiot. People who delve into PC vernacular as if it should apply to those who live outside the secularist American mainstream should suck it up and admit to themselves that what's offensive to you may not be a huge ****in thing in post soviet Russia. I mean for God's sakes this is what makes boxing great, mainstream progressives don't influence a sport that is influenced by those who are on top of it. This is isn't the NFL or NBA. The "public" doesn't have a say on where boxing business should interpret their crap. You get the good with the bad. Do you not think Asians wanted to curb stomp Mayweather after hearing that tirade of racial slurs against Pacquiao? It's okay to be mad and speak your mind, in fact it is your god given right. But to say that something should be done is just idiotic. I am sure Haymon and Adonis will milk the **** out of this for all its worth.

Yo he's not racist. He just says racist things and shows racist pictures and makes racist remarks based on racist stereotypes. But what's racist about that? It's not like there can be racist Russians because it's like cold there or something and you can't be racist in da cold. Dafuq world are people living in?

[Foreign Soil]

If he has a problem on how we view things then he should go back to Russia.

I think he realizes he has to dumb things down for western society to understand.

I dont think he was being racist, we all called president bush a "chimp" because he looked like one....

Yeah it was a very ****** thing to do but this is the fight game, guys are going in there to rip each others heads off so why does it matter what **** people say?

Also Stevenson 100% looks like a baboon, more so than Gareth Bale even haha, and he acts like a primate too so he doesn't really have a leg to stand on.

Hey not accustomed to our norms? Ignorance is not an excuse

thats the point i was making, when Bale, Karl pilkington or Geroge bush are compared to a primate(because they look like one) its deemed racist...But he compared Adnonis to one ad everyone goes nuts.

Wasnt there a thread a few months back where a poster said Adonis looked like a ceetain type of Ape???and most of NSB agreed???

Kovalev is not Borat, guys. If this were isolated, hey maybe he misunderstood our cultural norms. But it's not looking likely because it's not the first time. It doesn't mean he's ready to wear a sheet on his head, nor am I saying that. But yeah, if it walks like a duck.

First, f**k off. If I'm soft for recognizing that when a guy is having to have people keep excusing him for not being racist no matter what color he is, there's probably a clue that he is. I'm not offended by ******ity. If somebody is a dumbass racist, that's fine. I'm not offended by it at all. Let people hang themselves with that silly ****. Second, I don't give a **** what color you is or what color Kovalev is. If he's racist, he's racist. I just think it's ****** that I've been hearing for years about how racist Hopkins is but the same people will do anything to excuse Kovalev. He's Russian, he doesn't understand, he's got a black trainer, blah blah blah. Whatever.

@General: And of course if you point out somebody being racist, you're playing the race card. lol What a weak comment.
