That link is actually an article and they're crying racism in there?Read the article. Then watch the video. Then think : was the autor of that video really being racist or maybe he was just trying to make fun of his opponent
The Americans who wrote that article. And some other Americans who've already posted in this thread.
This guy gets it.
I didn't click it thinking it was just the video but I'm definitely not clicking now.Comment

The "American" comment reflected a chip on your shoulder, more than any honest observation. What about the Brits who pissed all over themselves due to Tyson Fury's comments about women, gays, animals. You'd have thought he was cannibalizing children the way the British public reacted. Brits are far more thin skinned when it comes to PC culture. Mayweather actually beating up a woman may have made less press in the states than Fury saying women belong in the kitchen. Look what happened to Jeremy Clarkson when the BBC fired him for workplace violence, an American company swooped him right up.
Anyway, I'm not trying to play the pro-American role here, the original comment just seemed like an opportunistic jab. Let's be more to the point; some fans are incredibly thin skinned when it comes to racial issues. Kovalev has been nailed for racist and sexist comments in the past, and it was deserved. BUT, this is not along the same lines and getting worked up over this is foolish, IMO. If people look at what's actually going on in the vid, there's no actual racism at all.
Regarding the article, it's click-bait, IMO. I don't think that the author even thought it was racism but "journalists" these days simply do anything to get that ad revenue.Comment

And Tyson Fury and his comments have literally nothing to do with this thread.Last edited by Szef; 04-18-2017, 04:17 PM.Comment
