Listen, I am in no way condoning the reaction, calling 5 0 is absurd to me, so is starting a petition. My entire point is that this isn't a witch hunt, he said absurdly offensive things and is being challenged in it, people do go to far, but you stated that he isn't being allowed his opinion, he has explained his opinion and is rightly being called out for the absurdity of it. Comparing consensual actions by consenting adults to the rape of children is disgusting, why should he not be challenged for that? Explain to me why he should be able to advertise those beliefs in a national newspaper and not have this reaction? Private beliefs are private beliefs.

I've read these same types of rants on every forum and message board out there.
There are a ton of ignorant morons in the world. They have as much right to state their opinions as much as I have the right to disagree with them.

The annoying thing for me wasn't what Tyson said, or people's reaction to the FACTS, it was the misleading headline in the Mail which caused a sh*t storm when, I believe, having read the transcript, that Tyson's comments were deliberately taken out of context and put across as "Tyson Fury says homophobia and abortion should be illegal", which is not at all what he said.
