Comments Thread For: WBC Suspends Adrien Broner Over 'Mexican' Swipe

[FistsOfFurry]

So Hopkins can stomp on Puerto Rican flag after he beat Trindad, Tyson can tell Lennox hes gonna eat his children and get away with it yet, Broner says he just beat up a mexican (is that even offensive) and gets suspended??

"I just beat the **** out of that Irishman"
"I just beat the **** out of that America"
"I Just beat the **** out of a Canadian"

none of those are offensive.. ****ing babies.

Whatever I guess, seems kinda ****** when he has said basically the same things many times in the past.

I'm kind of on the fence with this. Mexican is just a descriptive word. Not a racist slur.

If an Englishman were to say "I just beat the fxck out of an Irishman", no one would bat an eyelid. Even if an Aussie were to say "I just beat the fxck out of a Pom", no one would care.

In other words, it's okay to be racist as long as the person you're being racist to has the same skin colour and speaks the same language.

Lets ride with the Mick on this. Say he said this:

Mickey Ward: "Anyone CAN get it, MexiCANS, IrishMANS...I just beat the **** out of an AfriCAN"!

Are they serious???

Lol funny. Good for him but still funny by the wbc. If it was any other nationality but Mexican it wouldn't have meant anything.

That's exactly it, bro. They wouldn't have said **** if he said I just beat the **** out of a Canadian. lmao

The world gets more PC every day, some of the stuff Hopkins has said/done in the past would probably be taken more seriously now.

You have to choose the right venue. I mean I really like racially slurring people in real life but on the internet I just get banned. Some crying oppressed dude like Frank Ducketts would run and get a moderator.

Oh, please. I might not be the biggest Broner supporter out there but this is some sissy ****. This sport has pussified too much. Everything is offensive nowadays, everything is too dangerous nowadays, safety is priority nowadays... etc etc. It's scary what this sport might turn into 20-30 years from now.

Yes it is thanks to the biggest pussufied of them all Whoweather Jr.

I think many of us have heard this from Broner before, it didn't seem like he was singling out Mexicans, he said "afri-cans" first, he just wanted to do his repetitive "can" joke.

He makes a fool out of himself when he speaks. Seems like a d-bag and a pretty dumb one at that. You watch his interviews and something is off or empty about him. I wonder if he rode the short bus

[Flaco-N13]

as much as we hate broner, his statement somehow make sense. Mexican boxers today are weak, all talk, all vows, mostly losers :P If they win, they feeel like god, if they lose, they Whine like there is no tomorrow :P

Not only Mexicans are weak or feel like Gods when they win. A good example is the chump of this thread Boner he ran out the ring when he lost now that he won against a weak Mexican he acting hardcore. Peterson used testosterone against a considered weak British Khan, J Leon love also tested positive. Yes so have Chavez n Rios. TBE got pounded by a weaker Argentinean with pillow or we can call it weaker gloves. Weaker heavyweights than we were used to seeing. Get your facts right before coming up with your weak comments.

I think people over reacted as much as I dislike Broner's "persona" he was not insulting mexicans he was going on about his can man **** beating an afri can and just beat the fk out of a mexi can etc etc...tasteless and unfunny as he usually is, but not racist.
