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

[4truth]

We need to find out what celebrities and athletes are really thinking. It’s very possible that some of our favorites are not thinking correctly. Before signing any sort of sports or entertainment contract a questionnaire should have to be completed so that no one who isn’t thinking correctly can get work. Seriously, these people should be blacklisted for as long as it takes till their thinking meets the minimum correctness standards. The standards themselves could be established by taking a poll on Facebook.

Who cares what he thinks about other ppl sexual preference?

He has the right to his opinion and feelings.

Ppl trying to justify and normalize the abnormal.

Does the US know that his criminal pond-life family aren't even allowed into the country? There's also the matter of his proven drug test failures for Nandrolone.

****phobia is the least of his crimes.

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'?

I know they can, I worked for the company, I know for a fact they would never enter into a contract with Fury without having wiggle room to terminate him for behavior that reflects poorly on ESPN, and by extension Disney.

His boxing contract is a network contract, unique for ESPN, and a contract with Top Rank, but the network contact pays the lions share of his money, and they can pull the plug at any time if he flys off the rails.

It's always bloody pride month, any excuse for bunch of idiots to dress in assless chaps, flash their bits around and get ****faced drunk and shag the same sex...

Is it any wonder why Fury has some negative comments around this issue? Pride month needs to be scrapped, if you wanna be gay then be gay just don't flaunt it and act over flamboyant its annoying nobody likes it. Well, apart from the people who are ramming them.

It's terrifying that people have so much hate in their hearts.

This poster is talking about ****sexuals like they are from another planet, or less than human.

You actually believe Pride Month is "an excuse to shag the same sex"?

wow

Lost his Nike endorsement as well.

Exactly, it's ludicrous to represent that Manny skated free and clear.

I dont think people in America look to fighters as beacons of good behavior, and I don’t think anything Tyson has said will matter much. If he keeps fighting and winning in America, he might not get all the sponsorship money he otherwise would have, that’s pretty much it.

It’s not really an issue.

Pacquiaos comments about gays came and went. Floyd said a couple racist things about Pacquiao way back when, but they didn’t affect his popularity. Pulevs thing has blown over already and he’ll be back on ESPN against Fury this fall.

This isn't about what consumers think, although you can count on social media eating Fury alive if he doubles down on his views.

It's about ESPN, it's advertisers, and special interest groups.

this is about contracts, public perception, and what the company paying his check is perceived to be condoning.

It's imperative that Fury get in front of this, and not fan the flames of attention, that contract can be gone in a jiffy if he doesn't, Fury is too good for boxing to get smoked by the MSM.

If militant ****sexuals want to make a big deal out of it they will. And they'll damage him.

I'd have more respect for Fury if he stuck to his guns. He's entitled to have faith.

I just don't see how any of this stuff offends people. Who cares whether Tyson Fury believes in God? Who cares if two men want to get married.

Just let them all do what they want. As long as no-one is trying to convert me or **** me then go nuts in your own time.

wow

First the LGBT community wanted equal rights, they got this, then they wanted an entire month just for them. There is people in the LGBT community who want to take things further with weirder fetishes I don't wanna say, but lets just say they want their ***** to have a P on the end of it.

lots of fudge packing sympathizers on this site. Not surprised though, most of you guys were raised by single mothers!
