Broner Banned For a Year by WBO/WBC but is it fair? [POLL]

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

This is the same WBC that ranks Amir Khan #2 at welter and a host of other shenanigans.

[Brandish]

is mexico a race or a country, and why is the wbc/wbo confusing the two? Im an american, so if someone says i just beat the heck out of an american that's not racist or ban worthy.

[darius45]

So you want to compare the 1960's to today, well that was idiotic.

So we shouldn't progress as a species on this planet, or should we just continue to accept racial biased, ignorance and bigotry?

"so the guy beat his wife and put her in the hospital, who cares back in the 12th century they would have just stoned her to death. She's lucky"

Where's that quote from.

The fact that a man's career, way of making a living and supporting his family, can ripped out under him for making a comment that can possibly be conceived as insulting... is INSANE...but hey,

Keep drumming on that "progress" you're talking about...

Real progress wouldn't be knee-jerk reactions to reprimand and punish everyone in the name of "progress"

There's obviously a politically correct narrative that is strictly enforced if anyone goes off script.

If you actually do your homework and read my posts on this subject you will realize he wasn't suspended just for this statement. He's said many racist things on twitter, his run in's with the law, his videos and everytime he's interviewed he drops 20 F bombs.

This was a culmination of all those ignorant acts. Not to mention it was on PPV, on Cinco de Mayo and the promoter is a Mexican/American.

He's an idiot, needs to grow the *** up and I feel 0 empathy for him.

Broner is a scumbag but those particular comments weren't anything to get suspended over, it's ridiculous IMO.

[The Fan]

okay, first off what he said aint racist imo, guys like Nacho be saying Mayweather and Bradley fight "black" but he aint get banned but Broner get banned for saying he beat up a mexican? wtf is going on in boxing that shi- like this happens? why not deal with corruption like judges awarding gifts or trying to rob fighters like with the 114-114 Canelo Mayweather score or the Maidana - Mayweather 114-114 score. This is ridiculous.

You know if it was Molina saying he beat up a black boxer he wouldn't be getting banned. But The Problem gotta apologize? if he backs down and apologizes he'll lose me as a fan.

Any form racism is detestable, more so in absence of an apology. @AdrienBroner to be suspended by #WBO for 1 year for post fight comments.

what do yall think? should AB apologize? was the punishment fair? polls up

I'm pretty sure you had a problem with the Clippers owner saying no blacks should be seen with his GF at the game, right? It works both ways my friend.

[darius45]

I agree he is an idiot, and I in no way support the personality that he's trying to sell... and ultimately, he'll come back and fight and make money...

The bigger issue, in my mind, is the precedent of keeping everyone "on script"... "or else"... You don't want people people being so offensive that it stains the image of boxing(even more), but you want fighters to be able to speak their mind as well.

All they've done is say he can't fight for their titles. He can fight for others. he's not banned from anything important like fighting. They have no authority to do that in the States. This is all blowhard BS.

[Bring It On]

Unfair. It wasn't that bad, especially not by boxing standards.

This is comin from something who loathes Broner's persona.
