Comments Thread For: More on UFC and The Coronavirus

De la Hoya must have asked and paid Hauser to right this piece. Hauser always has an agenda when he writes articles like these. Have people noticed he never has written any articles about Oscar nor did he writes up some investigation piece about Canelo failing PED tests. But he will quickly write about anyone who has beef with Oscar and Golden Boy, coincidence that he writes for the Ring?

Why is this on a boxing site?

Is is it because Bob Arum has a problem with Dana White and Thomas Hauser acts as his media attack dog?

It's combat sports, the protocols for UFC and Boxing are going to be very similar if not identical.

He did write a pretty lengthy piece on Canelo's failed test when it happend, and ironically it was printed on Ring, likely to save face after not stripping him of his belt per Ring rules for boxers who fail tests.

I hope they are not identical. Boxing can do better than that I think.

Thomas Hauser is right, people are underestimating this Corona Virus issue. I am angry with my countrymen who also are disrespecting the health guide lines and to add insult, they are throwing trash in the beaches, also they found two manatee dead, because for one anchor of a boat and a ran over from a boat. Mother Nature is going to punish more to us for disrespecting our Beauty Blue Planet, The Earth.

You're right and it's a total disgrace to mankind in general and an indication of the mindset of those who disregard any and all safety and health protocols put in place by medical professionals and people who are educated and knowledgable regarding the virus, how it spreads and the results of not taking necessary precautions. I thought it was just the US at first but that is not the case. There are uneducated, selfish, indifferent people everywhere. I just saw a picture today from Toronto of crowds of people at a swimming pool, acting like nothing has changed. Italy is doing the same thing even after all the death that they have experienced. It would seem that mankind never learns from its mistakes. Some people do but it takes a collective effort to really instill change.
It just goes to show how we have become an privileged society that has been weakened through having everything we want at the push of a button and taking our basic needs for granted.
As soon as restrictions are put in place, to prevent illness and death and really protect people from each other, the spoiled, selfish nature of modern man rears its ugly head to ruin it for the ones who are taking responsibility and making sacrifices for the greater good.

Shame on them and shame on people who form their opinions based on what their political heroes and/or celebrity idols say instead of people who actually know what they're talking about.

Lamentably mankind in general, the ones who believe they know it all and think they are above all, when the reality is in their faces have the audacity to said: “That is not me and is never going to happen me, who care the people who died, I want my life to be normal” is only an example of people who don’t feel empathy for others and when you don’t feel empathy for others, they not respect the life of the planet, including other humans.

They don’t care and don’t have respect to other human beings life and reason they disrespect the issue in hand, The Healthy Guidelines and Safety Protocols. For me 382,479 dead people around the World are humans who have feelings, a life, have families, a meaning in life, a purpose and the list go on, same apply to the humans who are sick with Corona Virus and fighting to stay alive. This World is full of egoist and like you said, are uneducated, selfish and indifferent also.

Now in USA, those riots, especially the race ones are very serious. In my country in Puerto Rico, people who know they have Corona Virus and put in quarantine, have the atrocity to exit and spit to other people faces out of frustration or something else. Like you said, humankind in general never learn from his mistakes. The people who are conscious about the seriousness of this issue, they are trying to unite people to do the right thing, but no, people ignore the serious ones who want to do something positive and prefer to join to that individual who are uniting people to do something negative.

I too at first believe this was something of USA doing, but thanks to the Medical Professionals, that is not the case anymore. Collectively, the people like to follow that individual who want to make chaos and the people who are trying to make a good and make a difference, are ignored and to add insult, they break the little things the good people begin to build. The sad thing to all this, the good ones are always paying just for sinners bad people who want to make atrocious things.Today, another boat ran over kill another manatee. Sooner or later, Mother Nature are going to punish humankind and this time, is going to be late.
