do you root for fighters based on race or nationality? (anonymous poll)

Neither really. I'm British and have liked quite a few British fighters but that's because i had more chance to see them fight and learn more about them as people, but i don't like them just because they're British.
Race, absolutely not.Comment

No it doesn't
And also I know a lot of people in real life from all over the world and different races and there's equal good and bad people everywhere.
Online though there is a lot of trolls and the online African american fanbase are truly the worst around, and they turn people against African american fighters
They are actually racist in the literal sense which is they think African Americans are inherently Superior to all other races, and they don't even veil that view. However they point the finger at anyone who criticizes and play the race card.
I'll say it again online African Americans are the WORST fans by far.
But in real life all African Americans I meet are good people and a lot more sensible than these boxing scene trolls so I don't take that as a reflection of African Americans in general.Comment

My favorite fighter of all time is black. Lennox Lewis...but he's British. I also like kell brook, David haye, Anthony Joshua, and James Degale. I cannot stand American black fighters though. The broners, the mayweathers, Amir imam, the guy Joshua just beat...I cannot stand them.
What does this make me in your opinion? Nationalist?Comment

Before boxing scene, I treated all fighters about the same.
After a few years on boxing scene, I've learned to treat black fighters with special gentleness. If I don't constantly praise them even when they lose or pull out of matches, I will be drowned in hatemail for the next 3 weeks and placed on the ignore list of $nubianhustla$.Last edited by ////; 05-18-2016, 12:56 AM.Comment
