Comments Thread For: Player Fired Over Insulting Pacquiao's Basketball Skills

This is ridiculous.
You lose your job for voicing an opinion about a players basketball skills?

Had he said Manny was a fraud in boxing or bad politician or anything like that I'd understand. But all he said was he wasn't a great basketball players.

The same way many felt Jordan wasn't a good baseball player.

Um most sports leagues have clauses in their contracts for player interaction in public. Can't just shoot your mouth off and think their is no repercussions for it.

Guy would probably be stoned to death

Imagine what they will do to Floyd if he goes to the philpins and say those racist rants on philpin TV.

Damn, I guess you don't mess with a boss.

pacquiao and bill gates can't even think about stepping in MLK's shoes. this man has a legacy untouched

Orton was fired from his job for speaking his mind, MLK was assasinated. Free speech you say. Unlike murica they say

[Rath]

Can't **** with Pac in the Philippines. He's got every kind of person from street kids to politicians ready to ride for him.

there is this fighter from murica who would love to have that kind of admiration

Shoot your mouth off? Again it's not as if he said anything racial about Manny, or anything about his personal life. All he said was he wasn't a good ball player.
For him to get fired for those comments is beyond ridiculous.
The fact you fail to see this, makes you ridiculous.

It's a good thing Pac wasn't born in America, he would've been a basketball player instead of boxer, a failed bball player, but a bball player period. Just like HW champion Wilder, luckily unfortunate circumstances forced him into boxing.

Would've been able to play since a child with our youth sports programs instead of boxing, nobody would know his name.

Sounds just.

After seeing this, I understand NSB posts a whole lot more
