Best Lampley moment? "Bang, Bang" or "Written by Allah"

People have said much worse here in the US and have gotten away with it.

 

well with naz constanly bringing up allah, lampley wasnt out of line. It wasnt said with racisme in mind, nor was it condescending towards your religion. It was a cheap shot towards naz, which naz was no stranger to himself.

dont throw with bricks, if you live in a glass house.

Just the fact you want to DEFEND your religion, based upon something this vague, shows how little you are able, to make fun of yourself and your culture. That to me is a sign of weakness.

he said allah could spell barrera, hardly a crime now is it. It is what you want it to be, and frankly i dont see the problemin it, therefore there isnt a problem, you in the other hand want to make it a problem and therefore feel the need to defend your religion. yawn..!

 

Is that suppose to intimidate me in anyway?. Do you feel tough and brave writing messages like that?

You just show this forum your own ignorance.

 

BANG!!! is one of the worst moments in broadcasting history IMO. I mean it's nut-huggery at its ugliest, not to mention during the "BANG" incident he talked over or "BANGED" over both Max and Manny. Unless it's some dubious inside joke between the team, this is by far worse than the Allah incident(which despite the religious ramifications is actually pretty clever). That being said he probably should have apologized after(for the Allah incident). To sum it up, Lampley is a dick, always has been always will be.

 

:good

 

Ok, let me take a moment to address your ignorance.

Just because Hamed mentioned our religion doesn't give Lampley the right to say "so far this fight suggests that Allah can spell Barrera". Hamed carries himself in an arrogant way, which is against our religion. Two wrongs don't make a right. Any open-minded person can see that was out of line and unnecessary. Of course Allah can spell Barrera, but that's not the point here. Holyfield always talks about Jesus, so just imagine if a commentator said something like "so far this beating Holyfield is taking from Toney suggests that Jesus"....so on and so forth. If the athletes mention their religion that doesn't mean when they are losing then the commentators should say anything about their religion. It's pointless.

Ok, you said my culture. I guess you picture me as being from the middle east right? I am American, caucasian if you need to know my race. Islam isn't a culture, it is a religion for over 1/5 of the world's population. That means Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey, United States of America, Great Britain, China, Australia, Indonesia and on and on we go. People of all races and cultural backgrounds. I am defending my religion and simply trying to correct anyone who thinks it is ok to ignorantly mention someone's religion as a way of putting a losing effort in someone's face. A sign of weakness you say? If I didn't say anything, that would be weakness. I try to get my point across in a civilized manner.

You said that you don't see a problem so there isn't one. Wow! So you are the only one who says if there is a problem or not. You give yourself quite a bit of credit here, don't you? And I too can type stupid things like...yawn. How brilliant!

 

I think BANG BANG BANG should single the end of Lampley's career. He's just being a ******, a child. The paying fan doesn't need that ****.

As for the Allah comment, I'm sure he was trying to be clever rather than offensive BUT it's not at all professional to bring religion into it. Especially when they guy is getting beat. You shouldn't mock a fighter anyway, nevermind his religious beliefs.

And I thought Naseem Hamed himself went a bit too far bringing his religious identity to that fight. It was Naseem who came in with Qu'ran blaring over the loudspeakers.
As a muslim myself, I found that vulgar and unnecessary.

 

the "bang bang" comments was the stuff of legend.

 

Wrong.
I'm a muslim.
Alhamdulillah.

 

well if you are white and from the states, you should be able to deal with the concept, freedom of speech:deal

as i said, if you want to make a problem of it, something this vague, then feel free to do so. Your reaction doesnt surprise me one bit, im used to muslims reacting this way, when being presented with facts.

To me it was intellignet humor, i guess its a concept you cant understand.

you are just another whining chump, who thinks that his religion comes ahead of everything else. :tired

 

Well why the **** are you still on the site? GET OUT no one wants you here.

 

oh please that allah comment was harmless, it wasent like he was insulting allah or the religion.

 

Freedom of speech is one thing and mentioning someone's religion in a negative light is another. I never said people don't have a right to have an opinion. If I go out of my way to express an opinion that is offensive to someone else, well I am just asking for trouble. I know you must care deeply about something and maybe that something isn't religion. But if I insulted your family or something that you love, mind you I would not do that, then you might understand that even freedom of speech has it's limits.

You say you are used to Muslims acting thia way. How many Muslims do you actually know? I am asking seriously and not sarcasticly. Because Muslims are nice, peaceful people. If you happen to meet a Muslim who isn't the way that I described then blame the person, not the religion.

You can attempt to insult me with your primitive comments, but the truth stays the same. I am only one person who is no threat to you and has no problem with you. I was only attempting to show you my side of it and that it isn't about "all Muslims" and this and that.

Oh yeah, one more thing. You said since I am white and from the States that I should understand freedom of speech. Are you saying that if I were black and from the States that I wouldn't understand? I am only kidding. Just an example of how easy it is to misunderstand certain things and blow them out of proportion. That is exactly what I wasn't trying to do with this topic of my religion. I was only asking for a little respect and understanding that religion is very personal to people and that should be respected and left alone.

 

I don't think he was intentionally insulting anyone or anything, but it was a tasteless comment. He just made a mistake and I can understand that. I am a Muslim. But, I do recognize that he should be carefull when talking about anyone's religion, not just mine.

 

Why not?

Who hands out "rights"?

What is a "right"?
