Comments Thread For: Arum Forced To Apologize Over Insensitive IRA Comments At MSG

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Months after Michael Conlan publicly apologized for a pro-IRA themed ring entrance from earlier this year, Bob Arum was forced to walk back comments suggesting his fighter do it all over again. The 88-year old Hall of Fame promoter landed in the hot seat following ignorant comments made in press row following in-ring action at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Belfast's Conlan (13-0, 7KOs) opened up the ESPN-televised tripleheader, scoring a unanimous decision over Russia's Vladimir Nikitin in a "rematch" to their controversial meeting in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

A commentator got fired the other day for saying Lamar Jackson's speed and skin color, which camouflages the football, makes it difficult to stop the option..

Which it DOES!!

I know it’s hard - but politics should be left out of sport as much as humanly possible. 99.9% of the time - the athletes aren’t politicians or the culpable party

I had a feeling Arum might have had to revisit that quote.

I've had Asian friends that said it was offensive and that's fine. But on a fictional sports show? What does it matter? At some point it gets out of hand.

This is bs hit piece on ThaBobFather. Obviously the author has something against Arum from the past. Fair enough. But while you stand during the National Anthem with lyrics about bombs bursting in the air, just realize that SAME anthem has other verses to it like verse three ‘blood of all the former ****** and “hirelings” on the battlefield will wash away the pollution of the British invaders.’

It’s talking about the blood of ******.

To quote:

“In other words, Key was saying that the blood of all the former ****** and “hirelings” on the battlefield will wash away the pollution of the British invaders. With Key still bitter that some black soldiers got the best of him a few weeks earlier, “The Star-Spangled Banner” is as much a patriotic song as it is a diss track to black people who had the audacity to fight for their freedom. Perhaps that’s why it took almost 100 years for the song to become the national anthem.”

So before you criticize Arum, maybe you want to start right at home prick.

But hey, just like you it’s just my opinion.

There’s ignorance for you Ole boy.
