You know, I feel genuinely embarrassed reading comments from people like you, it's sad that because he's a boxer you'll let him say and do what he likes without the criticism it deserves. It isn't about having opinions, no one really gives a eff what most people think, he's entitled to hold those views, but he isn't entitled to have those views put in the paper and be immune from the criticism it deserves, no one is, the fact you think he deserves to be immune says quite a lot about you. Would you be saying the same thing about radical Islamists? Are their views okay to be put in the paper and not be criticised? After all it's their interpretation of their religion just like Fury's. He didn't make any hateful comments? You're having a laugh, if you don't understand why what he said was wildly offensive you should leave the commenting to the adults as you clearly don't have the critical faculties to understand even minutely what he was saying, this comes after you swallowed (oooh) wholely his nonsense about being misquoted and misrepresented without even the faintest pause for thought just because HE said it.

People can hold whatever opinion they like, but if you don't want the media to have a pop, or the general public keep it to your self, it's fairly obvious to most of us.

Catholicism is one interpretation of the bible, there are many Christian religions that differ from Catholicism, I thought that was obvious.

What's a stupid argument there are different Christian religions but the Catholic religion is larger than all of the others put together. He is Catholic that's like saying a Buddhist should subscribe to Judaism because you don't agree with his beliefs.

I'm saying Catholicism is only one interpretation of the bible, there are many. The entire bible is sexist by the way. I don't know what difference this makes, it's neither here nor there in this conversation, I just compared it to radical Islam to make a point, you wouldn't want their views in a paper without criticism would you? Also, it's curious that the last sign of the apocalypse is legalised paedophilia and this is being said by a catholic.

You are still not explaining yourself, he is not a different religion he is Catholic, it's not a cult it's the leading Christian religion. He's not misinterpreting the the religion - that is the religion.

What has radical Islam got to do with it?

I'm saying that just because he believes it doesn't mean it should be listened to and go uncriticsed in the media. Ffs.

I guess the pertinent question is why Fury is being pilloried for talking about what is apparently acceptable within Catholicism - why doesn't the Pope get investigated in the same manner?

Why should he get a pass for saying the things he said? No one else would, trying to make it about him being from the travelling community is absurd.

Also, the bbc sports personality of the year is about achievement not actual personality ffs.

What did he say that was of so much significance? This country has turned so politically correct its unreal, he didn't make any hateful comments. He doesn't agree with homosexuality or abortions, he's strict catholic its part of the bloody religion, where's the shock in that. He said Jessica Ennis has achieved great things and looks bang tidy - I say that all the time. He said he thinks women belong in the kitchen but if they want to box who is he to dictate what they are allowed to do - take a look at him and his wife together does it look like she's lacking empowerment?

people aren't allowed to have their own opinions these days.
