The contradiction is to not care less that the boxer believes he is superior to gay people yet at the same time care very much and dislike Andy for believing he thinks he is superior ....that makes no sense to me....dislike Andy for other reasons but to dislike Andy cause you thinks he's superior has no value if you approve the same quality in someone else.

For me though, I do care that the boxer thinks he's superior, in terms of me judging him as a person, I just don't think it should effect whether or not he gets a sporting award. So me not caring about or me being approving of the award isn't me being approving of his views, it's just that I wouldn't take my personal dislike of him into consideration. That's what I meant by the Andy/journalism award analogy, my personal opinion of him wouldn't make me think he doesn't deserve an award for something that's not based on who he is as a person.
I dislike them both for their superiority, but wouldn't care about either being awarded based on their careers.
