Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Apologizes After Racial Abuse Guilty Plea

[Sweet Scions]

He was not being racist, he was being sectarian. As an explanation Scotland like Ireland has a big sectarian issue between catholics and protestants, and protestants are called orangemen as they have an order called the orange order. It's more a case of sectarianism/hate speech than racism and I guarantee there was much more colourful insults being flung about before and after around there by people who aren't a pro boxer so get no attention for it.

Thanks for fleshing this out with more cultural context

then why apologize like a b itch? He's always been a twat. You should get the ban (if you're trying to make a subliminal statement about a particular race atm, just be outward about it if you're going to do it). I just can't tell if you're joking or agreeing with him.

WTF are you talking about, Mr. White Knight for orange cu-nts? You want me to get banned for typing something that might be vaguely racist, even though you have no fcuking clue exactly how it's racist?? Your phony outrage has no limits.

This thread just shows how few people read the articles and just start frothing at the mouth from a headline. "OH SHYTE an opportunity to rag on a UK guy lets do this" Or all the people who "knew all along" he was racist even though the quotes in the article amount to all of nothing. At worst religious discrimination or whatever it's called as explained by an Irish fellow in the thread. I read the bouncer was Asian... Orange looking kunt sounds like fake tan/spray tan/tanning bed / roid monkey looking bouncer type. Is it racist because he's Asian and orange is close to yellow?

I doubt that very much .. most East Asian people are too small and/or too smart to be bouncers.

yeah you're calm. My outrage is phony considering i wasn't outraged. in fact, i edited my post to give you the benefit of the doubt bc I didn't want to assume incorrectly. but it's cool, stay mad.

He wasnt racist....

But YOU are.......

[Madison Boxing]

But YOU are.......

Any proof of that?

[EL_GRINGO]

what a cuck, never apologise especially to orange K.nts

[just the facts]

Any proof of that?

Well, for starters, you've been banned here at least 8 times (by your own admission) for making racist posts here. Remember when you posted that Ward was a wife beater and claimed you had the links to prove it. I pressed you HARD for those links and to date you've provided nothing. One time you seriously posted that Mayweather and Broner were having ****sexual relations. I asked you who your source was. You claimed it was unnamed boxing insiders you were talking to. I then commented that why would any boxing insider have a conversation with you about anything. Crickets.......

Shall I continue?

World boxing champion Josh Taylor has been fined £350 after admitting racially abusing a doorman when he was thrown out of an Edinburgh nightclub.

The 28-year-old made racist comments to an Asian bouncer at Shanghai club at about 03:00 on Sunday.

The super-lightweight champion pleaded guilty to charges of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.

He later apologised and said he would take time off to "reflect on my actions and ensure it never happens again".

Taylor, nicknamed the Tartan Tornado, currently holds the WBA and IBF world boxing titles after beating Regis Prograis on points in October.

Before becoming a professional boxer, he won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Well there's that orange looking leader in the UK, Boris Something.

He’s as pasty white as you can get, not orange
