Trump is actually obviously quite smart when you realize who he is trying to appeal to and that he works in his own self interest. But not to get too political , I know how reading Donster's name gets people werked up

TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 08:26 BJS problem is that he comes across very very unlikeable. So even if he's getting a raw deal, he'll get no sympathy. He was obviously joking in the video. I found it amusing and the reactions have been over the top but when you have an unlikeable personality that's what happens. I remember back when Mayweather was asking Pacquaio to agree to blood testing to make the fight happen and you had virtually everyone coming out and saying how disgraceful Mayweather was and how he had no right to ask for the tests etc
wtf is amusing about a boxer making stupid jokes about beating women? It's pathetically unfunny, especially from someone who fights for a living.

I have to say, I strongly suspect he's got a subnornal IQ, even by his own standards, this is catastrophically I'll advised. Doesn't he have any mates to go "bloody hell bill, turn it in, this is a bit much."

My cousins knock around with his brother, who they say is a lot harder than Bill and tries to keep him in line, but he can’t. The way they were talking was as if Bill is seen as the idiot of the family even though he’s a top level boxer.

Remember BJS was also suspended as an amateur by the ABA in 2008 for inappropriate behaviour towards a woman which was filmed and uploaded onto youtube. He didn't learn his lesson then either.

He’s meant to do very well outside of boxing. Tbh I was a bit shocked but they said it matter of fact. They aren’t the type to be impressed by someone for nothing.

Never been a fan of BJS outside the ring. He lacks the charm to be cheeky and comes across a bit like a bully. However I received this as a WhatsApp message and found it funny. I think a ban is outrageous. He is not a role model, he punches people in the face for a living. Equally I think being a role model is a choice and not a requirement for a boxer. Did anyone think this wasn’t a joke??? You didn’t have to find it funny, but a ban???? Sad times in my view.

Yeah I’ve always found it weird that people say that athletes/sportsmen are role models for kids. Course they’re fvcking not. Not their personalities or actions anyway. Their sporting achievements can be considered aspirational, but that’s a totally different thing.

Yes I totally don’t agree with the concept, being a crap role model may affect your sponsorship deals and fan allegiance but shouldn’t land you with a ban.

Who is pointing to ‘all’ sportsman as role models.. it’s seems like their problem to me. But I have to hold my hands up a bit as I’m clearly a minority here as most people here seem to have been offended by it and BJS has landed himself with a ban!

Whether they choose to be role models or not, young people will listen to what they say, rightly or wrongly, which is why what they say matters, and has to be policed to some extent.

Disagree, he told a joke. Some will like it some won’t. Young people will watch and listen to what they want. Just listen to music today and u will find all sorts of nonsense spouted. We’re selling Ourselves short if we think People watched that and thought it was serious and sound advice.

BJS is a great role model to a certain group of ppl, let's be honest, the type who would fart on a random old man and film themselves laughing their arses off at it, but then 'put the boots in' if the same guy did it to them (or if he just 'gave em a look')

I wonder how fearsome his little silly billy will be when he's older and build up his strength, everyone guard your balls!

Posted: **03 Apr 2020, 17:47**

One overlooked point here though is that some men do face abuse at the hands of women, maybe Billy was just helping empower male victims of domestic abuse?

People can no longer make a joke without fear of offending the lesser spotted pink lesbian naked mole of the western plains of Peru.

The plains of Peru are in the South and go into Bolivia and Chile - they're called the altiplano (rough translation would be high plains...) the west of Peru is arid desert - no lesser spotted pink lesbians live there, probably black or brown...

Whether anyone actually rolled around laughing is not really the point.

The point is that people should lighten up and stop taking offence at everything. It was clearly a joke

Jokes are meant to be funny, stop embarrassing yourself.
