Tragic? Just clearly explain to me how it would even get attention for more than a week? Maybe the over 70s will groan that’s about it.
There is a section of the population that won't stand for that type of thing. Even in 2020.
Well I should hope if it were true that DLH cares as little about their views as I do
In a perfect world, that would be true, but it is not that way in the real world.

If wonder if it feels extra emasculating for the tragedy crowd to get their butt whooped by a crossdressing /gay man?
It hurts, they don't want to show it.

I think it would be great for the sport of boxing, one of the best boxers of his generation coming out.
Me too. I was doing a Stuart before making disgusting jokes but if it’s not too much I’d like to agree with you.
Boxing does a great job of breaking down racial barriers but in terms of gay men it does a bad job. Lots of lesbians at the top level, as it is with a lot of sports, but it’d be good for boxing to have an out and out world champ. That’s not to conflate homosexuality with fishnets and brasses.
Only two I can think of are Orlando Cruz (who came out and grabbed some headlines before getting bladdered by Salido) and Emile Griffith, and that’s a whole story on its own.
The Lezzers love sport.

Tyson Fury schooled Wladimir Klitschko. Or that he even won clearly.
I think he won clearly but I agree that some people laughably make out that it was a performance for the ages, it's arguarbly the worst Heavyweight title fight I've ever seen.
A year or so ago I got fed up with the lies about that fight and had to go and make sure I wasn’t misremembering. I don’t know why on earth I did, but I watched it again. 115-113 is fair I think and 116-112 would be ok. Someone on this forum always posts that after the final bell, Wlad was favourite on in-play betting.
It was dire though, I think Martin vs Glazkov was worse but it’s bottom 3. They put it on the Sly Sports YouTube channel during lockdown next to Inoue Donaire and Froch Groves for fornicate sake
It was appalling! A really hard watch. WK was so much better against Joshua.

If he did, it was purely tongue in cheek, a bit like Fur-Q in Brass Eye

That Arturo Gatti is worth HOF. RIP tho.
Personally I only have to spend a few seconds thinking about Gatti’s contribution to boxing, to feel not the slightest sense of injustice that he was inducted.
But then to be fair I’m not massively au fait on what the exact criteria is.

When I lived in NYC in the late 00's I became reasonably friendly with Joey Gamache. What Gatti (or his team) did was criminally negligent.
For that reason, I wouldn't put AG in the HoF.

It was a rough (and unfair) night for Gamache to put it mildly. But still, a bloody lovey finishing combo from Arturo.

Not sure I agree. Gatti and his team were morally wrong but was it not the NYSAC that were negligent? They were responsible for conducting the weigh in. They should have made Gatti get back on the scales and actually weigh in properly.

Gatti didn't weigh in properly. He got on the scale but it never settled. Nobody thinks he made weight. If he was a couple of pounds over at weigh in, which he could well have been, he will have been so much stronger on fight night than if he'd cut all the weight. He entered the ring at about 160lbs. Gamache 143lbs.
