1. Racism is certainly not a word I like throwing around so I will not. But, there are numorous people on here (Those of who I will not name) that constantly rant and rave about how a certain group of people/boxers are better than another certain group. It's so sickening. We are in the 21st century here people. Its time to grow up. If not just leave this forum because you are not wanted nor needed here.
2. Just because sombody is a Mayweather fan does not mean they hate Pacquio or hate white people. Same goes for Pacquio fans. I am white and PR and I Like Mayweather. He is my favorite boxer. However I also really like Pacquio (Filipino), Cotto (PR) and sombody like Paul Malignaggi. (White) I love alot of different boxers.
3. I thought this was a boxing forum? A forum where best answers are appreciated? I am tired of people picking answers THEY LIKE and not the BEST ANSWER. Hey people? The thumbs up botton was designed to show if you like somthing. Give them thumbs up if you like it but give best answer to...well...THE BEST ANSWER!
4. Bottom line, people need to relax. I know nothing about this multiple account business but if sombody on here does it, stop. You're a loser. Yahoo answers is not that serious where you need multiple accounts to make yourself look good. Somtimes people are going to agree with you. Somtimes they aren't. It happens.
5. So does anyone agree/disagree with me? All comments appreciated. ThanksHere is your chance to rant?
Here, here.
To be honest it's just all of the general childish behaviour I find draining. I'm glad you didn't place too much emphasis on racism because i don't think it is a major issue. Very few people on here are racist. I think people throw around the term far too much without giving it a though because it's too easy. Plead racism and most PC people will back down, it requires no intellect or rational thought process to wrongly accuse someone of being a racist. A quick fix.
I'm fed up seeing people attacked at a personal level for expressing an opinion. This happens mostly when people disagree with an unpopular opinion. The whole point of a forum is to share knowledge and opinions, the differences is what it's all about and diplomatic and respectful counter arguments should prevail over name calling and childish bickering. If people aren't here to debate with and learn from each other then why are they here? The best thing i like to get out of YA Boxing is a different perspective, the other side of the coin. It allows me to see the holes in my own opinions and it exposes my nativities so that i can reflect upon them and try to see the bigger picture. I like to broaden my horizons though the knowledge of the good people i frequent the site with.
I'm sick of people being so fragile, people seem to get offended at the slightest things and tend to retalite in a spiteful manner, which then escalades into a situation too big to ignore or control. If you take offence to something just take it on the chin and forget about it.
I'm tired of the humour by-pass in here. You can't have a bit of a laugh about a trivial matter without people accusing you of something, calling you a name or expressing their disapointment in you.
I'm tired of people having an inflated sense of importance. Who are you to judge me or anyone else? Do you want me to sit on the naughty chair now? Some people need to get off their high horse.
I'm sick of people trying to score points with one another and score one over the ';opposition';. The ';us vs them'; mentality is a major problem that needs sorting. We're not politicians, we're boxing fans.
I'm fed up with people moaning about trivial things like getting thumbs down or not getting best answer, does it really matter? Does it have any impact on your day to day life?
...I think thats everything...thanks for the opportunity!Here is your chance to rant?
I agree and disagree.
Can't say I disagree.
Too true.
Amen to you.
I agree, and as a result, I have starred your question.
Great job.
I do agree
Thank you...
I have respect for all boxers...
I am a fan of the Klitschko brothers, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, ect.,ect...yet I get accused of being racist???
I don't understand why people think its racist to think that Mayweather will beat Pacquiao. I'm getting accused for being a quote un-quote ';multiple account'; because of the fact that I agree with others on certain issues...
Lets just end the BS and keep it strictly boxing because any and everything will eventually be sovled in the ring...
I enjoy some Euro fighters and think they are class acts....
When I say that I think Calzaghe is overrated, it isn't because he's from Europe, it's because I think he's a cherry picker...
I think the Klitschko's, particularily Vitali, are underatted and deserve TOP 10 P4P spots over the likes of Paul Williams and whoever else is there based off of anything other than their fights...
I'm a fan of all races, nationalities, and creeds...
Racism is definitely the biggest problem in this forum. That is undeniable. It exist at all facets of people's answeres whether if it is direct or indirect.
Ofcourse it has disturb me for quite some period unil I just choose to ignore it. Whether if you are a Mayweather fan, Cotto fan, Pacquaio fan, or whatever, I think it is only coherent to apply an analysis that is respectful without truly being insulting or malicious.
I agree with Sean G, i think my bros Knight and Sean G are one of the most attacked people because of their support for their favorite fighters. Of course there is another person here as well who is not popular among Filipino fans. I have truly seen that as somewhat unfair and there were even some times when i felt like I have to stick up for them (Sean G, Normen, and Knight) because both are my friends even though we may have diverging ideas.
I have even seen someone attack my good friends Mak W and toughguy2 who has always been humble and polite. That really pisses me off when people do that to such a great guy.
The increasing amount of Pacquiao fans in this forum has been spectacular. I honestly believe that there are more FIlipinos here than any other group cohorts because of Pacquiao's magnificent display of perfectionism and achievements as a true all time great. that of course has led to some brittle between Pacquaio fans and Mayweather fans. That is probably the biggest issue here because of such occurence, racism often prevailed as an approach to either ruin a fighter's reputation or consider one's favorite fighter as superior, and sometimes considering the race of that fighter has something to do with his skills. Of course, every fighter from every race is different. You can be from Australia and be the best boxer, you dont have to be from Europe, Asia, America, or Latin America.
I hope this racism ends, and if there are any racially motivated views against me because of my specified preferences on a fighter, please just leave me alone. All I ask is for racist people to leave me alone and leave people alone who are trying to have a good time conevrsing about boxing.
God bless all! :-)
1. i agree, racism is WRONG and needs to stop, people should love the sport not just its fighters....dont hate the player, hate the game!
2. i agree somewhat.... if someones gonna defend theyre fighter, do it without bashing on other fighters! you dont need to hate to get your point across..
3. i am getting very pissed about that as well! there are these guys in this forum that are so biased and only agreeing w/ each others opinion!(you know who you are), theyre supposedly bffs or something, news flash for you guys, this is YAHOO ANSWERS! youre supposed to choose the BEST ANSWER not your BESTFRIENDS ANSWER!
4.people wit multiple accounts are losers wit no life, nuff said...
5. yeah i agree with you, thanks for putting this issue out there its really starting to get outta hand...
I have read some really racist things in this forum. I won't repeat them but needless to say it really ruins this great forum for everyone. I think what also bothers me is that if you stick up for a boxer of one race people accuse you of being racist against boxers of other races.
I'm not really a Mayweather fan but I hear what you're saying. The Mayweather fans are taking a lot of stick in this forum and its unjustified. Mayweather and Pacquiao are in direct competition at the moment. Both sets of fans think their guy is number 1 so there is bound to be some friction but this doesn't mean people hate the other guy.
People pick best answer for many different reasons. Maybe they like the answer, maybe they learned something from the answer, or maybe they just wanted to give best answer to their friend. I don't have any problem with this. What I don't like is people having multiple accounts and giving best answer to themselves. I'm in this forum to discuss boxing and express my views with boxing fans from around the world. I want to gain knowledge about boxing and share my knowledge with others. Coming to this forum to and having multiple accounts to give yourself points is pretty sad in my opinion, but each to their own.
You're right. People need to relax, myself included. We all get annoyed if people dis our favourite boxer but just air your grievances and more on. Don't hold a grudge, don't block people because they don't think the same way as you and keep things above board.
Great question by the way
Amen. Amen. Amen.
There is real racist view points in here. But some people accuse any view that doesn't coincide with their as being racially motivated. There also seems to be a double standard in the fact that people will say one group (say blacks) who root for a fighter of their race is racist, when their hero is their race. Many people root for fighters that are their same race and there is nothing wrong with that. And because of this people like me are labeled. This label leads to me getting thumbs down no matter who informative an answer I give is. I had one answer last week that had 11 thumb downs in which I said Pacquiao would win and explained how more accurately than anyone else. Thankfully the non-biased asker gave me the best answer despite how unpopular I AM. I have one account. My account isn't private. I copy no one's answer (but my own)...But I feel like I am side by side with Knight in the race for most hated in the forum because the increase of Pacquiao fans who hate on me because it isn't my opinion that he is the best in boxing (despite the fact that I say he is a great fighter etc etc. I wonder how many best answers I'll have if people judged on the merit of my answer/ arguement/ information...?
