Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Condemns Saunders For Advocating Domestic Violence

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

You can add the World Boxing Council to the lengthy list of people Billy Joe Saunders has managed to rub the wrong way these days. The unbeaten two-division and reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) titlist managed to once again find his ways to the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The latest stems from a now deleted video where England's Saunders (29-0, 14KOs) instructs men on how to hit their female partner.

Wonder if he ever condemned Floyd, who actually got jailed for it. Bet he didn’t Condemn Wilder who’s been arrested for such things before..

Saunders video was clearly a joke, maybe tasteless and not funny, but he clearly wasn’t being serious and has no history of such things.

He'll still make up an additional fake belt if he fights Canelo though

So a man cracking a joke about domestic violence is the same as "advocating" domestic violence now. Lord, how I hate this anti-male PC culture we live in.

Been too close to domestic violence to find BJSs shit in the slightest bit funny. watching my mam get hit trying to protect me, got my stepdaughter currently due in court after she got ****d, my niece finally got away from a relationship in where she was getting battered on the regular last year... And that's not even to get started on the chicks I've known on the street or in rehab or whatever.... got stories that would make y'all sick to your stomachs.

Thing is humour's great human survival mechanism, it helps us deal with difficult shit, tragedy, horrific occurances, whatever... helps us normalise stuff. We all quite sure we want domestic violence normalising?

Maybe ask your mum, or your daughters or your girlfriend if watching Saunders make jokes about hitting women makes her feel safer and more secure whilst she's out and about... what do you reckon she's gonna say? You gonna tell her she should lighten up cos it's just a bit of fun?

What else aren't I allowed to joke about? *****philia? Death? Suicide?

"I'm sorry but I had a traumatic experience involving Jehovah's Witnesses, so now knock-knock jokes are banned."

Did you hear the one about the priest... oh wait, sorry, NOT ALLOWED TO JOKE ABOUT THAT, IT'S INSENSITIVE

Not with you on this one man

Fair enough, man, I still ain't seeing the funny side. What are your feelings on jokes about lynching black dudes or gassing ***s? Guess it's a matter of where you draw the line, huh? I reckon perhaps where you draw that line has something to do with your life experiences perhaps. Like I say, I seen the results of domestic violence up close and personal, heard the screams, seen the blood.

Thing is I get it, there's none of us not wanted to lay one on our partners at some point and done in the right way it might have been funny. Mighta been something most women could appreciate too, even, cos I know full well Ms K woulda just loved to lay me out on plenty of occasions. But it wasn't. Least not the way I saw it. You or MulaKO could probably make the same sorta joke to me and I'd know the spirit in which to take it, a cunt like Saunders with a history of misogynist bullying behaviour and it takes on a whole different tone.

That said, I ain't necessarily an advocate of this being the responsibility of the sports authorities - the BBBoC or the WBC or whatever, however tasteless. It's not my feeling that moral stewardship is really part of their remit.
