REEEEEEEEEEE 1V1 ME IRL FITE ME INTERNET TOUGH GUY.

Am i triggering you?

He's not really against the protests...he's against their complexion...that's what this is REALLY about.

It's ironic because many of his people are being gunned down by America's gestapo.

There would be no America without protest.

Puzzies are the ones who protest, but won't do **** about change. What do you think a protest accomplishes? I'll tell you what, if the team owner came to each one and said "you can protest feely, but we're going to pay you what the average soldier makes per year for it"

Think they'd do it?

I dont get it i mean he just wrote a post explaining a pretty fucked-up case of police brutality but hes complaining about an extremely tame protest like taking a knee? This is the most tame protest ever if hes mad about this then when can they protest and how? Just ridiculous, he has experience ,he knows this bullshit is legit but has mad about a knee?

For god's sake, please no. I'm sick of modern clown world politics as it is, the last thing I need is it infesting boxing as well. Just let me enjoy the stuff I like without it turning into the next front on the culture war, please.

He doesn't like the skin color of the protesters.
Simple as that.

He's OK with police brutality.... as long as it's on Blacks.

It's just that simple.

The military is different IMO. I do like their idea kneel before the flag and then stand when they start singing. Show your not happy but support the military and what they are fighting for. I have a lot of family in the military and they're torn about this.

I get what you're saying about doing it before the flag but I don't think the people that have a problem with it want to see it at all. They think the police is completely justified in whatever do. I don't get the feeling that the protest is anti military when I see it. I would rather there wasn't a need for such a gesture in this day and age but bad cops are making good cops irrelevant because they're the only one getting attention for doing horrible things to unarmed citizens.

I guess Ali was a p*ssy too

Protest accomplishes plenty if it gets people talking and sheds like on the subject.


You wouldn't have a Country without protest.

...at least not a free one.

You don't know this. Very few people are killed by police. Many more blacks are killed by other blacks. You should look at some data.

Ali made excuses not to go into Vietnam. Guys were getting killed there left and right and he didn't want to be one of them, so he played the race card, but what he should've said was "i dont want to fight an impossible war" and left it at that.

The truth was that this country gave him a lot of racist issues, but it also made him A LOT of money, legacy, and has provided for his children as well.

i'd be disgusted to see someone pull that bull**** in the boxing ring
