Someone just told me that the only reason I'm rooting for Bradly is because he's black...

[Tommy Knocks]

.....in which I replied: of course!

wtf? what's wrong with that? No one says anything when mexicans do it, filipinos do it, white folks do it, but when a black person roots for a black athlete, it's bias and racist?

I mean I also hate Pacaquio too, but yes, I'm rooting for Timothy Bradley because he's black, and?

 

[Big Boss]

i thought that what boxing was about

 

[patscorpio]

Think its only racist if thats all you root for and say some slick shyt out the side of ya mouf about the other person they are boxing. Usually pussies living their fantasies through fighters because some white,black,mexican ect said something mean to them lol

Other then that I dont really see too much wrong with it, I means its cool to root/respect other people,but its nothing like someone that looks like you or comes from the same place doing big thangs.

You can take those words you typed and switch em around with any of those races/nats mentioned.

And I think white folks catch more heat if they root for some one white then a black person doing it.Just seeing/reading shyt on the net. They aint all racist breh.

got damn cac cant root for a klitchko,hatton,pavilk without being a damn kkk member and shyt.

I root for everyone, but if it's a black fighter, I'm more incline to favor him. Whats crazy is how people think rooting for someone that looks like you is bias or racist, but rooting for someone who was born on a piece of land bound by invisible lines isn't.

people find reasons to pick a side, if it so happens to be race, I don't really see the problem with it. I see chinese people rooting for Jeremy Lin, don't think anything of it. Pacman gets 99.9% filipino supporters.....don't think anything of it......

but god forbid you root for for a black fighter, you're given the side eye. now if it's a superstar, like Tyson, Anderson Silva, Floyd, most folks don't say much because they know it's a popular fighter, but I'm talking about if it's a mid tier fighter like Bradley vs a super star like Pacman.

but then if youre rooting for Bradley..what about him are you rooting for and why? if a cat told me that without expounding I would assume that he doesn't know shyt about boxing

yeah, I need a reason or it's just flat out because of race which is stupid to me.



I understand race being a factor in why you pick certain fighters OR being a deciding factor because every thing else is almost even between them as far as talent. However, if the sole reason is just because of race, that's crazy to me.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Boring Ass Tim Bradley would have to be fighting The Grand Wizard of the KKK for me to root for him.

This for me. I always choose some reason why I like them: style, personality, skills - always find something that draws me to them.

Because its a bullshyt reason... same with calling someone white or c00n just because they're rooting against someone who happens to be black

Funny thing is the biggest Timothy Bradley fan is my boy @mr. smoke weed.....and he's not black. He just loves the talent/skill level of Timothy Bradley, which is why I cant help but salute him for his reasoning. Just like @Black_Jesus loves Manny.....and he's not Filipono


If he beats Manny Pacquiao again, I think I'm gonna be officially convinced that Bradley is top 3 in boxing after Floyd and Ward.


If Manny clearly beats Bradley, like I'm expecting, he's back to his spot as best at 147 after Floyd

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

If Bradley beats Manny (for real this time) he's P4P #2 to me until Ward beats any of the following at 175lbs (Kovalev, Stevenson, or Groves at 168 if he beats Froch)

I can't have nikkas on my P4P list taking up space because they rather battle their promoter in court or commentate.

I like Tim Bradley. Seems like a nice dude outside of the ring. Not always the most exciting or entertaining, but you always know he is going to come in in shape, try to win and work hard.

His heart and chin in the Prov fight won me over. That was just pure amazing.

Even though I respect Bradley. This shyt right here still made me laugh.
