I didn't hear Thurman whining about it, it offended a lot of people other than black people. It's offensive, because it's offensive, and Floyd, Hopkins, etc are all just as wrong. The color of the person imo isn't what this is really about.Leave Angel Garcia alone, it is an act of racism. Blacks always talking about other people ( Mayweather, Hopkins, etc) but when another minority does it, all of a sudden is bad. White people are the kings of racism so they should shut up. Blacks should also stop crying because someone used the N word, they do it all the time and it´sno big deal.Comment

This country along with every sport has become soft. Most of the parents are raising a bunch of whinny kids these days and take offense to everything. People complaining about Angel and his rants, go take a look at Mike Tyson's rants, Ali's rants and so on. There was nothing to complain about that back then but now this country cries about everything. I'm surprised there hasn't been a march and protest because of Angel.Comment

Tyson wasn't a bigot, neither was Ali and Ali did it with wit and charm. Garcia is straight up hateful and crude. Also, when did being ******* and hating racial slurs mean you're soft and weak? There's a horrible trend now in America where everytime someone tries to question someones behaviour they're attacked and called a "snowflake" or "******* ***". Whata bizzare time we're living in.This country along with every sport has become soft. Most of the parents are raising a bunch of whinny kids these days and take offense to everything.

That's as far as I got with that gobbledy****. But yes He should continue on saying wtf ever he wants to say without fear of sanction from the government.So you're basically saying Garcia should continue his racist, bigoted, hypocritical anti-immigrant (the guy is Puerto Rican descent!) diatribe because it's within his rights? Give me a break. Just because you can spread hate it doesn't mean you should. This kind of trash is better suited to white supremacist rallies, the only problem is Angel isn't white! For some reason, in his crack addicted, delusional meth head he thinks he is. He's actually too ****** to realize that the people he condemns and is intolerant of include his Puerto Rican American ass!
Boxing already has a bad reputation for a variety of reasons, Angel just adds more weight to the argument that boxing is a joke that is not to be taken seriously. The fighters who put their lives on the line deserve better than that. People like Angel Garcia only do a disservice to the sport and validate the belief of critics of boxing who think it is unethical, classless and undignified.Comment

This is the most sensible approach. Angel's rants, though entertaining to some people, ultimately hurts the promotion. So don't give him any rope. He can lead Danny's corner on fight night but otherwise ban him from press conferences and post-fight interviews.This is on the Promoter & the media. Hardline stand would be the Promoter saying no Angel in the corner, but I doubt they would do that, as DSG would probably refuse to fight.
But the promoter should refuse to have Angel at any future press conferences - he has shown that he cant be trusted. The press conferences represent the promoter's product, and the promoter has a right to refuse to feature Angel's ignorance.
Additionally, the media should never stick a microphone in front of Angel. He will speak ignorance, so DO NOT GIVE HIM A FORUM.
Angel may have a right to be speak his ignorant racism, but we all have the responsibility to NOT GIVE HIM A FORUM. Ignore him, his words are useless anyways. So he can just be like the crazy homeless I see on the street, spewing nonsense, but everyone just ignores them.Comment
