Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I Don't Hate Anybody, I'm Uniting The World

And THAT's why what Fury's doing is OK -- because it's no different than a jihadist using religion as an excuse to murder? That's either good parody on your part or some crazy-ass logic.

No, I'm not saying his opinion is perfectly right , or OK. My point is that nobody's is, and it's just an opinion and should be treated as such. He's not hurt anyone physically nor does his statements indicate that he would.

It's an opinion and nobody is going to agree with everyone about everything so there's no point in putting everything he says under a microscope just because he won the heavyweight title.

the Gypsy King is the greatest thing to happen to the heavyweight championship in quite some time without a doubt the baddest man on the planet he has bought nothing but glory to the UK yet the media hates him why ? because the man does not know when to shut up

Sure...everyone's entitled to an opinion. Now that he's in a brighter spotlight, his opinions are going to be subject to greater scrutiny. If he's propagating hate or antiquated stereotypes (which he is - whether he recognizes it as such or not), he should be called out for it.

So yea..."it's just an opion and should be treated as such." That's what's happening. He's getting backlash because that's what his opinon deserves.

Not only is Tyson the super champion, he is the champion of truth. England is full of cowards who condem even their own.

I think they missed part of the quote. "I'm uniting the world.....against me"

Respect to Fury. Say what you wanna say brother.

The champ has one of the most diverse teams in the sport. Why doesn't the media shine any light on that, why do they fixate only on the things they can spin and twist into something negative?

Because no one wants to read about that.

Come on you must know how the game works.

Controversy sells.

They didn't have to do much twisting here.

(bolded) Based on what? What you believe? I.E. Your opinion?

And your suggestion that he should be left alone because his opinion is, according to you, harmless --- well, that's your opinion.

I guess I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that when someone expresses an opinion, that person should be left alone because it is, after all, just an opinion?

If that were the case, there would be no such thing as conversation.
