Imo sports shows people's true colors

[Standing on business]

i noticed this shyt with this fury fakkit. he has no wins against anyone notable yet he's all of a sudden an 'all-time great.' must be nice to be white and be able to be mediocre and still get mad props. deontay wilder is a terrible garbage ass boxer, though i was rooting for him, yet he still almost beat fury saturday night. how is that an all time great fighter?

So Fury is mediocre and Deonte wilder is trash? Race often plays a part in sports opinions but comments like yours don’t make the convo any better.

This is what happens when peoples emotions run high. Just like on the coli...a lot of people react emotionally and thats why there is constant fighting

Maaaaaan fukk all that. Wilder got his ass beat. Plain and simple … the odd shyt is Floyd tho.. there’s a LOT of black folks that don’t like Floyd… “Be Humble” folks hate him… Had so many nikkas Suckin’ Pac-man off it was crazy…

This isn't specifically about them, just using a recent example. But in all sports, people use them as an excuse

Wilder's technique is abysmal. He benefitted from a weak heavyweight division. If you don't believe me, talk me through his best wins.

Fury, I wouldn't call him mediocre but I don't see him as being champ in a strong era. In terms of technique and as a fighter, he is very crafty. There were sneaky things he did throughout the fight. Holding Wilder up so that he could score and an extra punch before the knockdown, using his hand on the inside to prevent Wilder from raising his guard. Smothering Wilder. He knows the crude side of boxing well. In a strong era, his lack of discipline would hurt him. He's not sharp and his conditioning would get put to the test.

It will be interesting to see how he performs against a fighter who isn't one dimensional.

Bruh that documentary had me in tears. Especially when they got that white woman to lie about being pimped

Yeah, always some bs to get us hemmed up.

I'll have to peep the documentary, I've only read about him.

Thanks for letting me know he has one.

This. Wilder is garbage, and been garbage. Big for nothin, no-skill, flailing, ass ngga. He'd be gettin washed TF up, if it were any other era. Came into work today, and suddenly, casual cacs, are boxing enthusiasts...

This is why I can’t y’all new nikkas opinions seriously… Statements like this…..

His technique fundamentally speaking leaves a lot to be desired…. However, he does have the highest KO percentage and top 5 in title defenses in heavyweight history….. So if the heavyweight division is weak, then he lost to the consensus best fighter in the division right?

If you turn on an amateur fight and it's a <insert race here> vs a black man, yall telling me yall aint finna automatically root for the black man

This is sports in a nutshell. People root for whoever is their skin color/nationality/hometown. It appeals to our basest natures

Spoiler

SMH @ people saying it's racist to root against Mayweather when he's arguably a black version of Connor McGregor who is a stupid racist who will say/do anything to sell tickets

 

[Mook]

People tend to root for those who resemble them the most when it comes to individual sports. My heart wanted Wilder to win but my head knew that Fury was the superior boxer and Saturday result wasn’t surprising. This country was built on superiority and sports resembled that mindset at times.

If you not rooting for the underdogs you're a racist. Don't care what color you are.
