I didn't think saying his wife was white was racist. His remarks about Tasmanian Aboriginals and implying having a white Mrs is wrong is racist. And who the **** likes Lance Armstrong? I suppose people don't like him because all they see is his public persona, not everyone knows him privately, I can't blame people at home for hating him due to the ******ed **** he says in front of the camera.
the truth is that people are racist- i am a fan of what he has done and achieved but most mainstream people hate him cause he is an aboriginal and the attitude is that if you are one you shouldnt talk too much.. Its double standards to be honest. I find green to be way more cocky!
That probably says a lot about the type of fans he attracts To be honest Bazil, out of the Mundine fans here you've had the guts to stick around while admitting he lost, so you deserve some credit for this. But if you talk about hate, you have said some terrible things about Green ( who i also dislike) but why do you dislike him? Only his mouth?
Rubbish. In Sydney the most popular athlete of the last year is Ben Barba In Qld Jonathan Thurston is a god. So the majority of the population decides to be selectively racist against Anthony? Gimme a break
Neither of those dudes are brash and outspoken though:good I have never even heard of Ben Barba. What does he do?
I think bazil is talking about the public in general are outraged saying Mundine is a sore loser which he is and it's all over the press etc. etc. But others are given a free pass for doing the same thing by the general public for doing the same and much worse. But you make a good point regarding bazil and Green.
people dont like adulterers and druggies etc but they HATE loudmouths. black and white has nothing to do with it. look at the hate that jason akermanis cops and hes white as the driven snow. you can look at almost any statement mundine has ever made and in virtually every case the exact opposite of what hes claiming turns out to be true. hes got the credibility of cristopher skase and its no surprise hes held in the same regard. all youve got in this world is your word and his word isnt worth a pinch of ****
Bull****, the racist comments are thrown back in his face because of the perceived racism against him in league etc as an excuse. He abuses aboriginal people as uncle toms (wtf) and calls white people *******s in press conferences then cries when its returned to him. I dont see colour whentalking to people, only deeds. Ive worked in too many countries that racism means that your life is in danger.
I absolutely guarantee that if an athlete of any background carried on exactly like Mundine they would be as hated if not moreso because they would not have the pockets of support from various disenfranchised 100% if anything, Anthony gets a bit of a pass from the Australian public because he is aboriginal and many Australians are terribly embarrassed and guilty about the past treatment of Aboriginal people. A white athlete behaving like Mundine would be unanimously hated.
