Last I checked, they don't pay boxers to talk pretty.

Why do people act offended at Floyd saying rude/culturally insensitive things?

If anyone looks at a boxer and expects them to be politically correct they haven't been watching boxing for very long at all. These aren't politicians (well most of them.) They are people who get paid to get punched in the head for a living. It shows how soft we have gone as a society. People used to dislike Gene Tunney because he read books and that made him a bunnie foofoo in the eyes of the public.

I prefer "rude" fighters who are clever with their words. But theres seldom any need for racism to sell a fight.
Just imagine the ****storm a white fighter being "culturally insensitive" towards the black community would cause.
