He made one of the most unlikely come backs in American sports/entertainment history. He went from being one of the most dynamic and loved athletes to one of the most despised (perhaps THEE most despised) athletes in American history, transitioned from being known as a savage with a rape charge who bit Holyfield's ear to now being a lovable teddy bear type getting paid to do comedy.

Is he making a fool of himself? Absolutely, but fukk it just about every comedian and actor/actress in the world does. His turnaround should be celebrated not mocked.

He's making more money than 95% of the world to act a fool on stage and on screen. His other options would've been slowly falling into squalor and despair, or swallowing his pride to go work a bullshyt job making pennies compared to what his true earning potential is and what it once was.

Anyone looking down on Tyson needs to break free from the mentality that says someone who was once a street dude/savage needs to always be a savage or they sold out and are shucking and jiving for the camera. Straight up, salute to Tyson for coming back from what seemed like the point of no return and becoming an American staple again, beloved again but for being an entirely different person.

completely different discussion for some another thread... but like the late great Patrice O'Neal said/talked about, why is it that white comedians (entertainers in general really) like *insert random old/washed up comedians (Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, etc. etc.)* can act like complete fools on TV but don't have to answer to an entire race... :manny:

Laying on your back, showing all 32 of your teeth while you spread your booty cheeks for white folks amusement is "just having fun"? :what:

Mike's just doing what he has to do to earn a buck and maybe he's having a little fun along the way. Cant be mad at him or expect him to be the same a$$hole he was during his boxing career.

Mike is 50 years old. The shyt hes doing isn't FUN for a 50 year old. That shyt is fun maybe for 8-10 year olds. Any 50 year old that has re-live the shyt he missed out on as a 8 year is sick as fukk. The nerve of you to act like this shyt is normal.

:sas1:You literally describing Michael Jackson but yall love to give him a pass :russ:

Maaan Amerikkka did this to him because in his prime he was pretty much the real life version of the terminator if u were in his presence without a gun and it gave too many black males a boost of self-esteem especially because he dissed too many white people in his career at the same time.

Even if he never ever fucced up publically, once niccas like TUPAC are showing you that much love they had to turn everything about him into a one man clown circus

Im actually surprised it took them this long to make him submit in everyway possible.

Not in the mood to judge him, Ali even said on Arsenio Hall that he liked Tyson and would catch the fade at the same time if that dream match ever happened.

Mike Tyson, with a mature mind has realized he likes to perform and emote. Let that man be an entertainer.

It's a mixture of three things

1. Mike has always wanted to be liked and probs has gotten tired of the mass public being scared of him

2. c00ning...he can be brought, look at all the sh1t he's done for ufc

3. needing money



it is what it is :yeshrug:

Iight so we defending grown men tooting they ass up in the air now???

Not really defending that single action, but not condemning him and labeling him a c00n either. Did he go too far with the clowning by spreading his cheeks? Sure. But how many times in Mike Tyson's life has it been said that he went too far? Was he always doing crazy things for the white man to feed him dollars? There are a WHOLE LOT of things Tyson has done that a family member would be embarrassed about. In a life that has included knocking out women in elevators after carrying their groceries, biting nikkas ears, saying he wished he raped Desiree Washington and her mother, screaming at the top of his lungs about sodomizing another man....popping his butt in the air after a goofy dance bit is the most egregious thing he's done? :heh:
Why does it have to be c00ning rather than him just being crazy as he's always been?
