Hell yes!! What are we coming to!? I remember listening to a show on satellite radio not too long ago. They had an episode called "The pussyfication of America". This episode is right on with what's going on and yesterdays flood of threads about Margaritos team "picking" on Roach reminded me of it. The show spoke about how its pathetic nowadays that you have to be careful how to celebrate in a high school game or event because you might hurt the feelings of the other team. Didnt this happen in a college football game last year and they took the winning touchdown away because of the way they celebrated? Also they talked about how high fiveing after scoring might be taken away because of the same damn thing. The feelings will get hurt. Also its pathetic when i go watch my little brother wrestle at tournaments and i see trophies for every single ****ing place. kids getting 6th place are getting trophies along with my brother who works ****ing hard to get in the top 3. Why? So he can be classified along with the kids that dont work hard? I think nowadays everyone gets a damn trophy regardless of the outcome. The whole Wal-Mart deal were they could not say Merry Christmas because it wasnt considerate to the other religions here. This is the ****ing USA and the customs are to say Merry Christmas!! For Gods sake i am a full blooded Mexican who was born there and lived there over half my life along with visiting a month a year. I have my customs there too but i dont try to force them on anyone here. It is an American custom and its America so ****ing deal with it. If i was in a different country and they said Merry whattha****ever and it was their custom i would respect that. Now we got a guy with a disability who talks **** more than anyone in the boxing game and when **** gets said back to him everyone is saying oh thats low. blah blah blah. I'll tell you what if Freddy Roach came up to me or said **** to me on national TV and i really didnt have anything to say back to him i would point out the obvious right away. HEy your a ******. America is becoming way too soft. And you guys were known to be the baddest mother****ers out there. Your starting to make Canada look tough...
Hell ****in' Yes! Like I said in another thread... Even some of the people on here complaining will go into the ESB Lounge and make fun of everything from ***gits to wheelchaired people to cancer to **** victims and more.... These guys just got caught on camera. So ****in what. Move on. Buncha pussies.
People hate Rios for much more than jokes in poor taste. It is his attitude, his intelligence level, and the manner in which he speaks. It is not the "pussyfication" of America, he would be looked down upon in any generation.
Exactly you see much much worse threads in the lounge. Even the one where Floyd Sr was in the hospital. People were sahying much much worse stuff. The dude has had illness that have been documented then he winds up in the hospital and people are talking mad **** about him. I dont like the dude either but i dont wish that on anyone. ITs just people being hypocrites.
Had Rios made fun of a family member of Roach who had parkinsons, then yeah, that would be ****ing low, and that **** would of pissed me off....But with Freddie, i just cant help NOT to feel sorry for him on this...Dude talks mad **** all the time, and puts other fighters down, so i cant feel sorry for him...Yeah, i understand its pretty ****ed up for Rios to say that, but if you're gonna be talking mad ****, you best expect to receive some as well...Thats how i see it.
Its done now its over and an apology was made. Focus on the fight. Some would say all trash talk is part of boxing. Maybe it was a bit much but they put their hands up to the mistake. Its nearly time to rumble
These guy's are proffesional athletes, they are supposed to be role models. Mocking someones disease is not only cruel and extremely unsensitive, it is unproffesional and sets a bad example. You would not feel the same way, if it was a member of your family who was suffering from the disease, or someone you knew. It is the kind of behaviour you expect from a child or a very immature person, not a proffesional athlete who is supposed to set an example. What is funny about Parkinsons? Someone care to enlighten me?
Dude, what are you doing? You're talking sense. You know that's not permitted here. Stop it with that bull****.
If they come and talk **** to me then its free game son. YOu guys are making it seem like Roach did absolutely nothing. He started the whole thing. I just watched all the 24/7 last night and Roach has been the one calling margarito an ******* son of a ***** and all that. If Roach was not talking **** at all then it would be wrong but its free game from here on out.
Sorry, Freddywak hadn't posted in the thread yet, I thought there was still some sensibility and dignity still left in it. Clearly I was wrong.
theyre not overreacting. people used to think enslaving people was ok. times change. mocking someone's disease isnt acceptable anymore. get with the program, beaner.
