The US backlash to Fury's ****phobia is a problem

[Clubber Pac]

Boxers can say whatever they want. They're not beholden to a league like the NFL or Premier League that has billions of dollars in sponsorship revenue to worry about. Most boxers don't even have sponsors. Floyd Mayweather was routinely the highest paid athlete in sports and all but $1 or $2 million came from his boxing purses.

Absurd post, Fury is beholden to ESPN, they are paying the bills, and you know, broadcasting his fights.

ESPN is beholden to Disney, Disney is the benefactor.

YOU sir are way off base on this one.

Something unexpected took place in the buildup to Tyson Fury's demolition job this weekend.

Israel Gutierrez, one of the most respected sports writers in the United States, went on national television, and denounced Fury as a bigot, he literally was crying with hurt, and he did so on ESPN airwaves.

Gutierrez is gay, openly, and proudly, it was an awful look for Top Rank and ESPN.

His statement seemed directed at ESPN, and the backlash has started to grow, it's all over social media.

Fury has never really been pressed on this statements regarding the acceptance of ****sexuality, and how it means "the world is ending" etc.

In this era of Trump, the PC population is a raging inferno in the United States, they get people fired, they get people kicked off television, and considering it's pride month, it's inevitable that Fury is going to be questioned about this.

It would be smart for him to take the high road, give the reporters lip service, even if he believes otherwise, because if he starts yammering on about how horrible gay people are, and attempts to rationalize his previous statements, ESPN will be pressured to terminate his contract, advertisers will start dropping like flies, this is how the US works, this is not the UK.

Rob Parker called RG3 a cornball brother, and ESPN kicked him out that day!

What's so strange about all of this, is that Fury made these statements YEARS AGO, but because the US press is just getting the measure of Fury, it all of a sudden is a story again.

ESPN is owned by Disney, and the Mickey Mousers are actually quite crazy about bigotry in any form whatsoever.

I would caution Fury to tread lightly, the US press, and PC population, are powerful, and ready to burn the next d%%bag at the stake 24/7.

Fury has been pressed on those statements and was hounded by the british media....it's just that he did utter **** since then, including testing positive, running from a Wlad rematch twice and finally becoming a crack addict, which pushed all the ****/pedo comments out of the limelight.

He has had a personality transplant since 2016

He knows how to toe the corporate line now and wont jeapordise that $100m deal

Yeah this. During the build up and post-fight last night I was thinking “who is this guy and where have they put Tyson Fury?”

Maybe he really has been in therapy and working on himself.

Do you really think Fury's deal with Top Rank/ESPN has a personal conduct policy like NFL contracts do? Do you really think ESPN can fine or terminate Fury's contracts if he says 'f**ggot'?

Your telling him to get a grip? There is horrifying bigotry in this thread, it's insane.

'Horrifying bigotry'



I feel like boxing isn't for you. Check out netball.

In your sig, what was the reason why Kenny dived in front of Maidana when he caught Floyd with that big counter right?

****sexuality and Transgenderism was always widely considered a mental illness when did it start getting normalized and how in the hell are they trying to compare it to the civil rights movement, ****sexuality has nothing to do with love, everyone loves people be it your friend, brother, mother father, it had to do with those laws against sodomy aka **** sex.

this has to do with sexual intercourse, nobody knows you are gay unless you tell them or act flaming, why do they deserve special rights just because they want to **** another man? should I get more rights because I like women with wide hips?

In the 80s everyone knew Boy george was gay but nobody cared nobody said are you gay?

its just a sexual preference and ****** who cares. stop trying to act more important than you really are nobody is hanging gays like they did blacks. there is 400 million people in the usa and only 7 million are gay and ****** why did they get so much power to overule many states? those few who control the narrative are the enemy they are pushing perversion because they have so much money they are bored and want to see if they can make people follow their ways.

[Citizen Koba]

Do gays even watch boxing?

They do all the same stuff everyone else does, man.

[REDEEMER]

Fury is not the brightest star in the universe ,he really should just focus on boxing because when he steps out of other things political and so on he exposes himself as a dumb guy. One would think he learned from 2015 which literally ruined his chances of a marketable champion with his attacks on people in the media.
