[is this jim lampleys most bigoted on air comment so far???

[Dr Rumack]

Kind of have a point there...nothing will come of it though. Shouldn't waste your time evening thinking about it. You're talking about a man who criticized Mayweather for domestic violence when he had a prior domestic incident himself.....something HBO was also aware of.

Lampley repeatedly condemned his actions and went to hand himself into the police.

Mayweather, despite numerous incidents of violence against many different women, insists to this day that he did nothing wrong.

The difference between the two cases is vast.

Lampley's criticism of Mayweather was prompted by Floyd defending Ray Rice's decision to knock his girlfriend unconscious. His disgust was with both Mayweather's attempts to cast himself as a victim in his domestic abuse cases, and Floyd's apparent inability to see anything wrong with battering women.

Lampley was 100% right in what he did, and he deserves credit for having the balls to say what he did, knowing how the Mayweather fanboys would inevitably come back at him.

Jim is a great man.

Eh, I'm not bothered by the "******" comment in a racial way. If Roy said it, everyone would chuckle. Some would claim that Roy would have more of a right to say it, but assuming that a ****** is an exclusively black thing is racially ignorant in and of itself and insensitive to others who have grown up in such conditions.

If we want to criticize Lampley, he's provided us with plenty of other material to select from.

YouTube comment 'it's not like he said he should devour Canelo like he devours a KFC bucket'

Jim Lampley does seem suspect when it comes to racism.

****** was a term coined to refer to an area where ***s were packed in, maybe they should be offended by blacks appropriating their culture?

[Dip_Slide]

I don't find that offensive, he didn't call him a thug or anything, it's a fight and going ****** shouldn't be offensive in this context.

You weren't with Floyd and this woman in that room on that night where he allegedly beat her up, you didn't see any photos or any videos of anything, court didn't care to show anyone any form of evidence. This woman recieved 20+ million dollars from this, so you have to consider that she might've made up the story or at least exaggarated what really happened to get that money, not saying that he did it or not, not saying I know what happened, nobody knows except these 2, but I consider all possibilities.

Floyd didn't defend Ray Rice hitting that woman (who actually slapped him first), he was against a personal issue getting in the way of the man's career, which is the total opposite of professionalism, whatever I do in my personal life is none of my employer's business, nobody should get punished for one thing twice, once by the law and once by the employer who has nothing to do with the man's personal life, there's police and court who get paid millions of dollars of taxpayers money to take care of such things, the NFL should have nothing to do with it. And ypu know that if Ray Rice was flipping burgers and did something similar, he might've been punished by the law but he wouldn't have gotten fired from his job. I totally agree with this point of view.

Lampley once again showed his unprofessionalism by bringing up someone's personal issues in a supposedly professional enviroment (the fight game), this is supposed to be a broadcast about boxing, so keep it boxing and stay away from people's personal issues especially if you want people to stay away from your personal stuff, that's not what people pay to see, I pay to see boxing, not personal life drama.

I disagree, Lampley has no right to condemn anyone for the same crime he's also guilty of.

Pretty sure he was compelled to take certain measures in order to save his career after the assault so I don't really care how much of a good person he portrays himself to be after the fact...guess we're to believe it was an isolated incident right? Maybe Mayweather also deserves an excuse for his actions since almost all of his victims eventually continued relationships with him? I mean it couldn't have been that bad if they went back to him right?

Point I'm trying to make is that there is no excuse for what either of them did. I'm not a huge Mayweather fan but I hate double standards and honestly I can't believe Lampley had the audacity to speak so self righteously about the subject....

I don't see "******" as a racist word really, although the the whiter you are the more racist it does sound I must admit, but then I realize I'm not down with the PC police. Its in that weird region of talking about donut shops for fat people or starbucks for white people to me. And it just sounds funny when Lampley says it more than anything. Its embarrassing & corny when white people say it more than racist (imo).

Plus Lampley goes ****** on *****es that talk to much from what I understand so it is a word in his vocabulary.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Meh, no big deal this time.

****** is not a black-only term or place, nor was he talking about Kirkland. I just took it as Lampley saying Kirkland needs to make the fight rough.

[mann187]

That and the Naseem Hamed vs Barerra was bit below the belt (no pun intended) Even big George got pissed at him in that broadcast.
