Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Perspective on Role Race Plays in How He is Covered

[skinnystev]

they gave slappin soggy a gift decision because he's 1/2 black (slappin soggy conveniently forgets about his caucasian 1/2) and he complains about it no matter how much you do for his kind you can never make them happy some say there entitled to it

Why are you making stuff up? I literally didn't say anything like that.

I said his opposition after super 6 was subpar, not the tourney itself, (except Dawson) and that he got paid millions for those fights and that is a fact.

I didn't say he owned his career to Goosen or that everyone he fights sucks. I also didn't give Kovalev credit for anything. Stop lying.

As for you thinking I might be racist... On a scale 1-10 how much do you think I care?

You didn't say goosen made him into the fighter he is? And ok you said his reign after super 6 was subpar, but no worse than ggg or kovalev. He dominated his division until his contract situation. Then he came back, was expected to move up which he did and won a belt. Some belts. Why is this something to be frowned upon? He moved into a division with a top 5 p4p ko artist and came back to win a fight he was down in. That deserves credit. That deserves acclaim. You point out all these flaws in a top 2 (#1 if u ask me) p4p resume and neglect to say that he's done awesome things in the ring.

But truth be told we don't know each other and idgaf about your opinion, but you shouldn't spout off about his delusional tendencies when you're so obviously jaded.

It has nothijg to do with his race Ward is boring and since winning the belts has acted like jackass. He is disliked cuz how he carries himself as a man not the color of his skin. That is the world we live in though people always quick to throw the word racist around or play the race card and it is truly pathetic.

Isn't this interview mad old? I watched him say this in a video years ago.

[THC]

It's not a race thing, he's not very likeable and he's boring. He also lost his last fight, got a gift decision and has the nerve to complain about it.

I agree. He is simply being perceived as smug, delusional, whiney.

[mathed]

Of course he's right.

Imagine a white American, Olympic gold medalist who's undefeated, P4P #1 and light heavy champ...

Yeah, exactly!

He'd get eviscerated because of "white privilege"?

You started off with a valid point:

True because black Americans are so nationalistic. They all support white American athletes over a Haitian, African or Jamaican blacks.

And then you got ******ed:

If anything whites are the least racist on earth. We support any race while "**********" mostly root for their own. The race card is only used when whites do it tho...

Or you could keep blaming racism for all your problems. I'm not here to judge your way of life just putting in my 2 cents.

I blame racism for being humanity's problem. And people who deny that must feel that some how racism is an essential part of their lifestyle. No matter how clever of a come back you think you can come up with there is nothing you can say to shade that fact.
