It happens in other sports too, (albeit race is not always involved), but people can be blindly loyal in other sports too. Remember the SF Giant fans who loved Bonds knowing full well he was on Roids? Uruguay and their loyalty to Luis Suarez. etc etc.

It's kind of what makes the support fun. People supporting their own.
Are there some people who go overboard? Of course. Just like in anything else.
I have no regrets regarding this position.
TS wants to be a goody goody...I only excuse that from Andre Ward.

I'm not a race supporter. But I do support a lot of African American fighters, A lot of Japanese fighters, and a lot of Cuban fighters.

I'm with you op. I look at every fighter, just like I do any person I meet, as an individual first and foremost. I have favorite fighters from every walk of life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I admit that the nationalism involved in boxing can make for some heated and fun fight crowds, but personally it doesn't affect me.
