[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO World Middleweight Champion Billy Joe Saunders has condemned England prop Joe Marler for calling Wales prop Samson Lee gypsy boy' after an altercation during their recent Six Nations match at Twickenham.

The Joe MarlerSamson Lee gypsy boy' saga could finally be resolved today after becoming one of rugby's most high-profile disciplinary issues of modern times. Ten minutes into the England vs. Wales game Marler and Lee were involved in a scuffle after the hosts were award a penalty.

The words hey gypsy boy' were picked up on a microphone and provoked an initial public outcry on social media. Saunders, 26, hopes the media attention surrounding the incident will make people think twice before using the term in an offensive way.

Like Saunders said, it's people using the word gypsy as an insult that annoys him.

wtf those aren't real words

This is pretty rich. I do agree no one should have terms like this thrown at them but Travellers have earned their reputation and until their cultures changes this is how people will see them. But Billy, who I love as a boxer saying this is legitimately ******ed after he basically said about a year back women shouldn't have rights.

yeah and wtf is?

[Publius]

Even the most Leftist Europeans - the one's who beg Arab refugees to rape their girlfriends - hate gypsies.

It's really a bizarre thing.
