Hmm, I don't really buy that.

It was his homophobia that got him attention, nobody gives a **** about anything else he's done or he'd be known for it instead.

I don't care what you buy. He is well known in the boxing world and I closely follow boxing.

Unlike all these hysterical reactionaries, I don't tend to give a toss what people's opinions are. Why would I? It doesn't affect me.

You aren't representative of the general public, you may claim to know who he was prior to the homophobia but most of the GP wouldn't know him from Adam otherwise.

Eh?

He was a champion boxer. And has been in several political parties. Why would you assume that people only know him from his opinions on gays?


This gets more bizarre.

Because most people don't follow boxing outside of major fights and the general public don't really keep track of a minor MP's movements through the parties. The reason why he was notable prior to CBB were his comments on gay couples and adoption. Accept it or not, it's the truth.

It's not a competition. I bet you don't even know the things that happen to gay people because of who they are...I don't know how you can compare the two really.

But Gays are discriminated against, certain countries don't welcome gay/lesbian people... like Russia have you seen how they treat people because of their sexuality?
