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

[Ruthless One]

They need to grow some balls over there and learn to handle criticism.

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

That guy is such an idiot. The worst part about it is the fact that he pretends he's an objective observer.

This is gonna end badly. This thread will slowly turn into a race war.

Pacstans ask for it if goes that road

Not surprised by it but can't help feel disappointed by it. The Philippine constitution is based off of the US constitution yet look at the way things are run in the Philippines right now. The Philippines was rich back in the day but has somehow devolved into nothing due to the abuses of corrupt politicians taking advantage of the ********ic government. Japan got freaking nuked during WW2 yet they recovered and are a modernized 1st world country today. South Korea has rapidly advanced and is a 1st world country today as well. What about the Philippines? The potential got wasted, IMO.

If you simply say "Manny isn't good at basketball" and get fired from your job and fined for it, then you know something is wrong.

I get what you're saying. You're not going to change Filipino policy, so the next best thing is to control yourself. He couldn't.

Dude would get fired, fined, and possibly put to court, lol. It's ****ing ******. They need to change the way they react to opinions and alter the laws to promote freedom of speech instead of supporting crybabies and people sensitive to valid criticism.

They made themselves look like sensitive little pansies. No wonder corrupt politicians can get away with the sh.it they do. People are afraid to tell the truth or state their opinion. They can't use their freedom of speech.

Looked into it and found this:

Article III Section 4 of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines specifies that no law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech or of expression. However, some laws limit this freedom, for example:

Certain sections of the Flag and Heraldic Code require particular expressions and prohibit other expressions.

Title thirteen of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines criminalizes libel and slander by act or deed (slander by deed is defined as "any act ... which shall cast dishonor, discredit or contempt upon another person."), providing penalties of fine or imprisonment. In 2012, acting on a complaint by an imprisoned broadcaster who dramatised a newspaper account reporting that a particular politician was seen running naked in a hotel when caught in bed by the husband of the woman with whom he was said to have spent the night, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights ruled that the criminalization of libel violates freedom of expression and is inconsistent with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, commenting that "Defamations laws should not ... stifle freedom of expression" and that "Penal defamation laws should include defense of truth."

Lame.

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.

Holy shit, please tell us more about how you feel about the Philippines. This dude is mad as hell.

[turnedup]

Actually I expect people like you to come in here and defend the ******ity and absurdity of this situation which makes you another Pacquiao worshipper.

Which makes your comments pathetic.


Just saying.

That guy is such an idiot. The worst part about it is the fact that he pretends he's an objective observer.

Funny you b*t*h made assumer considering I have over 20 million points on Floyd to win their fight but good luck with that. Perhaps now you can take the d*ldo out of your ass and assume correctly. Objective? Like you are... ironically I just gave you green K recently over something but here you are back to your old self.

[brickcityboxing]

What a joke... Makes the country as a whole look bad. The fact they even compared Manny Pacquiao to MLK goes to show you how little the country itself has going for it. Most places athletes are ... Just athletes and are subject to the same criticism any other public figure would be subject to. It's a problem when you put any one person above the rest and treat him like a god...

Basketball is a TEAM sport ... The fact that PAC would allow someone to lose his job over this without stepping in shows he was ok with it. May 2nd ego's will be re-adjusted.

(Please no Floyd replys... "But but but Floyd ..."... Let's stay on topic)

[brickcityboxing]

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.

He could help a whole lot more if he pays back the MILLIONS he owes his people in taxes, instead of handing them a few bucks for smokes or food when he sees them... Just sayin.

[Bring It On]

LOL what a butthurt ****ing organization.

LMFAO. Are you seriously bashing Pac for not helping the Philippines and its people enough? You my friend, are a complete ******.
