Well I just don't see how asking someone not to make deragatory comments about a group of people is censorship. I think that is promoting tolerance by standing up when a public figure makes hateful comments.

I agree that censorship is a major issue today but I disagree with your view on what censorship is. Asking for an apology on the behalf of a minority group isn't censorship at all. Saying that GLAAD shouldn't say anything about it is actually censorship.

I will agree to disagree with you since our argument has gotten way off of the point of MMA fans being bashed by a boxing mogul.

Take it easy

I believe my argument is more against PC anyways.

And I do agree, we're way off topic. Nonetheless, there's still nothing like a good argument with all of ya'll Yankees though over these issues, j/k lol.

The sports website Fanhouse reports today that 77-year old boxing promoter Bob Arum made several defamatory statements during an interview at Yankee Stadium on Thursday. Following a press conference on the upcoming Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight, Arum, the CEO and Founder of ’Top Rank Boxing,’ voiced disparaging and homophobic opinions about the sport of Mixed Marshall Arts (MMA). According to Fanhouse:

hey...I shop at Pathmark

didn't anyone expect anything better from Bob Arum. His comments don't surprise me the least bit.

Bob Arum said MMA looks like Gay Sex...

So I guess when gays have sex they throw elbows and hammer-fists at each other while trying bend each others arm the wrong way. I never knew.
