Thread regarding David Diamante...no comment


This obsession Diamante’s injury/fake injury…

On a way I get it, if it’s indeed fake, it’s distasteful and :snoop: playing on fan sympathy by creating a fake story instead of just telling ppl you step back for a few months for personal reasons.

At the same time I’m not too bothered by it, dude’s a ring announcer, nothing stopped in the sport because his injury report, it had no effect on the fights or anything. Like if he was on rehab or something the same things would happen in the sport.

Devil's advocacy right on time. The bolded is why it was disgusting for him to run this game.

It’s not devil’s advocacy cause I’m not defending it, all I’m saying is it doesn’t change a thing :heh: he’s an announcer I don’t eve have to like him or root for him, he just has to get the crowd and the viewers hype

weird to fabricate a story when there was no need though, no doubt

If Diamante wasn't still talking about his "miracle" recovery folks would probably let it slide, since he's not, oh well. I'm not sure why him being an announcer means he's exempt from scrutiny. There are folks running boxing YouTube channels that were out here faking car accidents and they got shamed as well, Diamante gonna get this smoke.

Agree.

To me it also speaks volumes to the merit and character of the individual in discussion.

If you're willing to develop a lie to that extent, live it out, discuss it in detail in interviews etc then your'e beyond untrustworthy, you're damn near dangerous imo.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but hey, where there's smoke there's fire?
