Seriously... Talking about cleaning toilets and skin color? Boxing's partly about banter and nationality, but this is way off. Not to mention saying things like the third world :-( I'm neither British nor Polish but it does leave a bit of a bad taste. And no, "Don't read the thread" is not a good argument. If you don't like something, you have the rights to say it. ESB is generally a good and interesting site, so nobody should have to leave it just because the nationalism angle gets overplayed. Sometimes I wonder about the age of people on this site. I wish to think that people writing stuff like this are only teenagers, but - sadly - I'm not too sure...
Although, dominating a glass nation like Poland is not worthy of brag, it's irrefutable, Great Britain >>>> Po.. err.. Glassland
Olusegun Kareem brothers Lateef Kayode Patrick Bogere Badou Jack Erik Skoglund Would all shatter polish glass, no problem.
An Ode To Polish Boxing - By shaunster101 Oh to be a Polish fight fan with only bums to cheer. Oh to be a Polish fight fight nothing but failure year on year. They talk their guys up as if they matter, then they get in the ring and their glass hearts shatter Oh to be a Polish fight fan with only bums to cheer. Oh to be a Polish fight fan where 'courage' replaces skill Oh to be a Polish fight fan, not much chance of a thrill. They're all journeymen and drivers of cabs, and even their best gets wobbled by jabs, Oh to be a Polish fight fan where courage replaces skill. Oh to be a Polish fight fan and watching their glass jaws crack, Oh to be a Polish fight fan and hate everyone who is black Poles can't fight cos they all have glass craniums, so they pin all their hopes on a pair of Ukranians. Oh to be a Polish fight fan and watching their glass jaws crack.
I started a boxing poetry thread in the general but it was moved to the lounge and I forgot all about it. Just found it, there's some great stuff in there.
