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

[tredh]

Watch people take this and run with it lmao. I guess the 19 articles with pictures of Manny playing ball and the words in bold "KIA" somehow translate into another basketball team name. He does not own the team that fired the kid. Maybe just maybe if your career has hit the skids so bad you had to fly half way across the world to play ball for peanuts you should focus on....PLAYING BALL. Not trashing that places very few icons or role models. Just saying.

Calm down ain't nobody say anything about Manny having anything to do with dude getting fired.

DAMN we can see you would've fired dude if you had the power to SMMH

Good thing he didn't say Pac can't sing. He would of ended up disappearing.

On he surface it sounds ridiculous, but when you really think about it, Pac is as much an inspiration and hero to the people of his country as MLK was here for the Blacks.

Surely you cant compare what MLK stood for to that of Pacquiao, but many people here are oblivious to the amount of help Pacquiao provides to his people. He is a savior to them.

Not that you would care but this got you put on my ignore list.

No way in hell can you justify making that comparison.

Anyone who fouls Manny these upcoming weeks and risks an injury will be fired. Suddenly Pacquiao breaks the league point record because no one wants to touch him or block him. He'll become the Philippines' GOAT Bball player. Damn all hail Pacquiao.

I like your sarcastic remarks, but so you know? He said he ain't playing basketball and risk any injuries. So there, he said he'll still play pick up bball to stay in shape and help his balance but that's about it.

Punishment too severe. It is really a joke anyway. I fault the PBA commissioner. Apology and fine should be enough.

This is vicious , but so true.

Bu bu but, he's a bum doe. Idiots.

I just wondered why this guy who is playing in the Phillipines has any right to even talk about basketball skill? If you're playing anywhere except the NBA and/or maybe China, you should really just shut the **** up about playing basketball, he couldn't make it either.

Pretty ****ing lame thing to do by the PBA. Kicking him out of the PBA and giving him a $5.6k fine just for stating his (pretty harmless) opinion? Pac's a good boxer but he's getting outclassed by the bigger, better basketball players in the PBA. That's the truth. These guys are just too damn sensitive.

You obviously know nothing about the Philippines and how many peoples lives Pacquiao has changed there. He has transformed entire towns and villages and made It possible for local fishermen to make a living in order to support their families amongst countless other things he's done for his people.

Yes the entire basketball issue was funny yet ridiculous. I'm just pointing out the reason why the people of the Philippines are so passionate about Pacquiao.

K.

I remember MLK running on a pro team back in the 60's, somebody criticizing his jumper, and somebody being fired and fined for it.

Said no one ever.

It's a hilarious, ridiculous story. I don't need a run down of Mannys reverence in the Philippines to have a fucking laugh at this.
