if you cheer on fighters based on race, youre a racist...

[EdWins]

if you root for a sports team just because they play for the state or city your from your a nationalist.... cuz logic

Say no to nationalism!

if colour of skin is what you base your support on, youre a racist. lets not make out its fine and youre 'cheering on your own'. All youre cheering on is colour rather than the fighter. And theres a lot of these type of 'fans' on this forum...

Yes you're right: saying you cheer on a fighter because he's black is no different than saying you'd never be his fan because of that same reason; it's just a different side of the coin.

I've seen this sentiment sometimes from black people who decry racism yet are themselves black etnonationalist with their own mentality, Wilder in particular has done this a couple of times.

Yes this place is filled with racists

Its full of Americans who support eastern euros like GGG, loma and kovalev way more than they support other Americans. They also spend their time hating on great American fighters like ward and mayweather. We all know their true agenda

lol...............

I don't consider myself a racist but I do only support white fighters just because I can relate.

So what are you today?? white, puerto rican or mexican?

I could never do that. Since I was a kid I liked Jones, DLH, Tyson, and then in my teens I also liked Mayweather, Calzaghe, Taylor, Kessler.

Ward, Dawson, Froch, Canelo, Wilder, Lomachenko.

I cannot understand why people pick by race.

"It's cause we like exciting fighters who come to KO their opponents"

*Deontay Wilder*

"No, we don't like him and his style. We like Lomachenko and his technical boxing style".

I only cheer for my race I'll admit.

The HUMAN race.

I am of that group that grew up rooting for so many different kinds of fighters. I'll even tell you a fighter who never understood how fans can only pick because of race, color, nationality. He is former light heavyweight contender Ice John Scully, a friend of mine from way back. 16 years ago he and I were shocked to see fans only root for fighters based on their racial profile. John and I started to see a pattern back on the AOL boxing boards and neither he nor I had ever pulled for a fighter because of racial bias so we were like WTF?? Learning this shocked the both of us at the same time some 16 years ago. 16 years to now I have seen it all, especially on these boards.

And you are far and away more guilty of this than any other poster here!

i disagree, if people are only picking fighters to cheer on because they have the shade of skin colour that they like then in my eyes that makes that person a racist. they dont have to be directly attacking other races.

This describes you perfectly! Deny it, I dare you. If you do, I'm gonna embarrass you.
