Everybody is going off the media spin saying that he said "Im African and I just beat the fukk outta Mexican" which is not what he said at all:snoop:

All it takes is a quick view in youtube to see exactly what he said, but most people just go with what the media reports instead of getting the information for themselves:manny:
Media Spin?

All the headlines saying dude is a racist.

He's the can man. Anybody can get it. AfriCAN, AmeriCAN, CANadian :heh:, he just beat the fukk out of a MexiCAN.

Didn't realize any of those nationalities were actually races in themselves :ohhh:

It wasn't even remotely racist, insensitive, or stupid. He's been calling himself the CAN man for a while. He DID just beat the fukk out of a mexiCAN. It's just Ali style shyt talking. Jim Gray's bytch ass turned this into a bigger thing than it was. He needs to get that :merchant: treatment next time around for that and blocking Matthysse from his endorsement moment the same night.

It wasn't racist, it was stupid as hell and a bit tacky because he shyt on his opponent instead of giving him props which is what you are expected to do after a fight. But Broner is incapable of exhibiting class because he is too busy trying to play the "bad guy" role.
The WBC needs to let it go though. It really is not something worth all of this hoopla.

It's really that simple. I mean, boxing is a nationalistic sport or exhibition if you will. That said, race, ethnicity, and nationality are intertwined with boxing. That being the case you don't alienate the audience to the point of offense, and for a few reasons I can think of. For one, they might boycott and harm your business, see the Clippers situation. Broner's loss to Maidana was bad enough in itself an he's not proven himself nor worked his way to Floyd super stardom. In other words people arent going to purchase hoping he loses, and even worse people who may have been teetering, just might say mehh next time.

Another reason, is the potential for tension outside the ring. I was browsing online and came across posts indicating Blacks and Hispanics were getting into to it as a result of Broner's comments. The first thing I thought of was the Haggler/Minter fight. That fight was already racially charged being that it was a Black man vs a white man, not to mention an American vs a Brit. Then Minter made a comment about not letting a Black man beat him, which he said was misconstrued. Regardless those whites tore that place up after the fight, but the point is Minter contributed to the tension.

One other thing was the disrespect Broner showed by saying that sh!t. He disrespected Molina, he disrespected Mexicans in attendance and watching at home, and he disrespected himself but it's not like he has much self respect anyway. He's one of the worst examples of a buffoon that I've seen a long time. A couple posters stated that people shouldn't have been offended but if thats the case then why did he immediately apologize to Schaefer following the comments? I'll tell you why, it's because he was wrong for that, and he knew it. He knew he messed up, AGAIN.

Man, Broner didn't apologize to Schaefer, that's just damage control and spin.
