Comments Thread For: Holyfield in Hot Water After Anti-Gay Jab on Big Brother

Gays have the right to do what they want with their mouth.
Evander has the right to say what he wants out of his mouth.

Try to keep up. Evander is getting paid to appear on a reality television show. They've warned him for making remarks viewers may find offensive. Of course he has the right to continue making said remarks, that's not in dispute. However if he does so he'll almost certainly be removed from the show. He also has the right to leave himself if he doesn't like being censored from making ridiculous comments.

...because WE CAN, just like you're allowed to disagree, we are allowed to agree, so DEAL WITH IT....just because you don't agree with what he said, you label it as "****** and moronic"?..so basically, you try to prove your point by replying with insults...Gee, that's not ignorant AT ALL!

When someone says something that isn't the least bit true, yeah, it should be called ****** and moronic. The day someone makes a realistic argument why gay people can go to a doctor and be turned straight is the same day someone makes an argument why being straight is the same way.

Manny Pacquiao came out against gay marriage. Religious people have a right to their opinions too.

Yea man I don't think he was bein rude or anything he was just expressing his opinion and all he's old school I mean being gay is big these days these dudes are comin out everywhere man I agree with evander though I don't have anything against gay guys but I think they're sick in the head man damn I mean how's a guy gonna look at another guy and be like man I gotta to have that... Man them dudes ain't right man something wrong for real.

He can say whatever he wants, and we can tell him what he said is incredibly ****** in return.

True.

But Evander may be removed from the show for saying it.

So he's not really free to say what he thinks, and that's not fair.

Mainly due to the offensive nature, which the channel will bear the responsibility for. Same as racist terms or sexism.

If a guy in the house came out as racist, I wonder if Holyfield will fight for the guy's right to say what he believes in.

You're an idiot. To start, the First ********* is in the United States Constitution, while the show takes place in the UK. Second, even if the show was taking place in the United States, have you even read the First *********? It guarantees freedom from GOVERNMENT prosecution for one's speech, it doesn't give you a free card to say ****** **** that will make your employer look bad and get away with it. The fact that you have an opinion doesn't make it as good as any other.

You must be gay...I apologize.

A bible thumper with two handfuls of illegitimate children.

Checks out to me.

Wow great comeback.lmfao

Nothing wrong with what Holyfield said. Why didn't the woman get **** for saying they're born gay, there's no proof that's true it's a belief just like Holyfields.

Why would someone choose to be gay in a country like Saudi Arabia? PLEASE explain that one to me. This is gonna be good...

The show was nearly cancelled a few years back due to bullying/racism so they're quick to take action over anything controversial.

I felt kinda bad for Evander, he's going to get vilified on both sides of the pond for expressing his opinion (wrong as it may be).
