Comments Thread For: Lawsuit After Amputee Denied Participation in Golden Gloves Tournament

[Squared.Circle]

Hell, AJ has fought 24 bouts with no chin! Like WTF

Erm...Wilder has been hurt and dropped by non-punchers, and now battered around the ring by a pair of pillows baha yet another AJ vs. Wilder comparison that favours AJ. G’night, treacle.

No amputee should be allowed to box in any event.


Veterans who use their veteran status for special treatments piss on their own service let alone other men and women.

Absolute rubbish. Nobody is asking for anything even resembling special treatment.

Houston attorneys, Mo Aziz of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner and Judge Marc Carter of Schaffer Carter & Associates, represent Eric Morante, a Marine Corps veteran and San Antonio resident who was denied participation in a boxing tournament solely on the grounds of his amputated leg.

Weight is one issue, as he could be a bigger fighter and now weigh less, or the other way round putting him at risk. I am sure this could be worked out scientifically and fairly.

Is his artificial leg a danger to himself or other boxers who might be knocked over stunned or even out cold and fall onto it etc.

Good point. Didn't consider that. If they get tripped up or the one leg guy gets a KD & his opponent lands on the end of that fake leg it could probably fook his sh^t up or perhaps blind him. Yea that seems like a problem for that reason for sure.

you have to allow the man to compete but you cannot provide any special accommodations. he doesn't use his leg to fight right? He's still mobile. He's not asking for anything beyond being able to compete. For you lawyers out there, ADA has a carve out that you have to provide reasonable accommodations unless it changes the fundamental nature of the competition. That is why years ago, I think it was Casey Jones, despite medical condition which caused him pain in his spine and legs, wanted to use a golf cart in the PGA. Went to court and he was not allowed. Courts felt walking the 18 holes was fundamental to the competition. He chose to compete anyway and was washed out of the PGA for not being good enough anymore. Same should happen to this man. Only reason I question whether to allow him to compete is that if leg's get tied up, maybe his leg could hurt the other guy.

I don't like this discrimination.

Give the Marine Hero his opportunity, he have his rights. Accept him, monitor him in a few fights and depending how the fights play's, then you have a strong case, but right now, give him opportunity as equal human being.

Yeah if he lost a leg they should let him fight. Now if he only had one arm, that would be different.

Craig Gator Bodzianowski had his leg amputated after an accident and went on to resume his career as a world ranked cruiser in the 80s.He fought for the world title vs James warring I believe.He lost a 12rd decision.

There's always a ******, fat hog, or disabled just trying to scam $ with a boohoo story.

Exactly. Always some dude with a ****ing sob story about how he got blown up fighting in a war he doesn’t know why he is fighting. Another “wounded vet”

Look at him now. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. That organization takes mindless morons who can’t think for themselves and uses them and once their home throws them away like a candy wrapper.
