Comments Thread For: Indignation Over McGregor's 'Mexican' Remark is Mistaken

This is what America has come to. Pretty ****en sad!

I was born in the good old US of A. I am a USMC Veteran. Pops (also born American) served in Korea.

Our skin is brown does not make us any less American. We can trace our roots to Mexico (deep south Mexico and California when It was part of Mexico). When I was in my 20's JC Superstar made me proud of my heritage. I am a fan of Able Sanchez the trainer and have adopted GGG as a favorite son for his love and respect of the Mexican fight style.

When he hears the crowd booing it's like a matador in the ring. And I'm not calling his opponent a bull because if his opponent is Mexican or knows of the Mexican fight style it's time step it up.

How many times have we seen GGG step up the action (some times putting himself in harms way) to please the crowd.

Nobody cares about anyone's Americanism or their service to their country. That's your private business. This is an international forum. I bet most people here aren't even from the US. So that doesn't matter.

I wonder if people reading this would rather be Canelo or Margarito in a fight? Canelo is a Mexican with a total black style. Floyd was his biggest tutor!

It's really almost depressing having Floyd gone for good and Mcgregor heading back to UFC where he'll likely be in the twilight of his career.
To put it simply there's a big void that is being left. Sure Floyd hasn't been this bull in the China shop boxing personality post prison but he at least stood for something that flicked off the PC mainstream media. And Mcgregor.. talk about a breathe of fresh air. Sanity really. It's a sport like boxing that makes everybody put all the political race **** down and just be real for a little while

Blah blah blah.... move a long folks!

I don't see it as racist, as Mexicans are multicultural, but style wise, a statement. Everybody knows what Mexicans do. Paulie will turn Mexican on him too.

Go **** yourself.

Wow people sure have gotten sensitive.

[davef]

This ****s getting out of hand you can't say anything today without someone being offended it was a compliment if anything because mexican style is big balls come forward to fight

[Shadoww702]

I guess everything a white man says, even if meant to be praise is racist now in America. I remember way back when n@gger was the only offensive word. Now calling someone a nationality is offensive. This is just getting to a whole new level of ridiculous. I can't stand the media anymore. Pitiful.

What's really ****** it's that White people are the ones offended...
