Fury's an idiot

[snake33]

Just when I was trying to like Tyson Fury and hope that he could beat Wladimir, he goes on a homophobic anti abortion rights rant (and he threw in pedophilia to boot). Wadda idiot. What, is he running for office?
Still think he has a wild punchers chance to win if he doesn't uppercut himself.

[Aaronide_ger]

Just because he ranted Gays it doesnt mean he is "Homophobic" What an idiotic statement to make.

[Tony1244]

Fury's rant was certainly homophobic. It far surpassed the marriage should be between a man and a woman spiel. For someone whose Dad did jail time for literally plucking a man's eye out and has never scored a college credit, Fury seems to see himself as quite a defender of morality. I really need to hear this idiot's view on abortion? Really?

I agree I WAS rooting for him, just for the sake of change. But seriously Tyson keep your mouth shut so we all don't know you're an idiot. Leave stupid remarks on gays and abortion to the idiot politicians.

boxers and all athletes are essentially entertainers, paid to draw crowds.
if i was required to agree with everything every artist, musician, athlete, actor,
or author does, i would never be able to turn on a tv or radio or read.
i'm actually surprised when anyone in entertainment isn't glorifying puncturing
babyheads with mini vaccums and sucking their brains out and deifying
sodomizers and gender benders. there is always this implicit threat that
anyone who expresses a traditional value will be destroyed by this overwhelming
majority of PC police, when in actuality it seems to help more than hurt them.
i don't really care what any of them think. if you are fighter i just want to see you
fight. boxing has borrowed a lot from PT barnum and wrastling over the years
though and i doubt that drawing attention to yourself with controversy hurts
your career. the people pretending to be butthurt here will still watch.

You nailed it.If I quit watching or listening to all the entertainers that have said something
I do not agree with.I would be sitting staring at a blank tv.

[Tony1244]

I don't see how anyone could be "butthurt" by these remarks, they were just stupid, and of course we'll watch. I don't mind stuff like his pushing Cunningham, that's par for the course.

But yeah, I agree with the rasslin part. It increases viewership, as those who agree, or disagree, are both more likely to watch.

Just another British punk that can't pass up a minute on the microphone babbling like an absolute dickhead. Is that a prerequisite to fight in Britain? Is that on their questionnaire when they apply for the job as a boxer? "Will you ever or have you ever said the words...NO COMMENT"? If so, thank you for applying but we are no longer accepting resumes as the position has been filled.

The funny part is that none of them can fight worth a damn. This Fury character is going to be knocked out silly by Klit. Does anyone think that this fat oaf has a shot? I still think the guy is going to postpone the fight before it happens anyway for some dumb reason as most Brits do.

The Brits wonder why none of their boxers become mainstream athletes over here. It's because they are a bunch of clowns.

I take this about as serious as I did your prediction of Bradley's luck running out on the 7th.
Though smart money is on Wlad.To dismiss Fury as a joke is pure insanity.
But coming from you I am not shocked.

[geronimo]

I used to find him funny, but the last speeches he made are vulgar and stupid. Maybe increase his knowledge will be a good thing to him. And maybe reading to Richard Dawkins about religion...

[Gazmac81]

I believe this story / Interview was in the Daily mail guys

take a lot of it with a pinch of salt they like to sensationalise for there headlines
for a newspaper that can regularly run a story about someone getting murdered / Kidnapped and mention the price of the clothes / house and cars the victim own its pretty shoddy.

Fury says a lot of shit to get attention , he goes off on rants , he can come across as a nice pleasant guy and then he can come across as going out his way to shock.

if these are his views though that's up to him , no one needs to print them

[marvelous marv]

If you listen to any of Fury's recent interviews he has become increasingly more religious.

[Lenny Cravats]

‘We live in an evil world, the devil is very strong at the minute, very strong, and I believe the end is near. The bible tells me the end is near. The world tells me the end is near. Just a short few years, I reckon, away from being finished.

‘Abusing the planet, the wars in the Middle East, the famines, the earthquakes, the natural disasters, all these things are talked about 2000 years ago before they even happened. Prophesised. So now it’s all coming true.’

‘There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one’s paedophilia. Who would have thought in the 50s and 60s that those first two would be legalised?'


He's a fookin' nutter.

I've clearly stated that i do not stand by any predictions I make on this site.

[man]

boxers might just be the wrong people to look
for clues on morality. i do not care about the
pope's view on american TV series and i do not
care for tyson's view on ... well pretty much
anything.

If Tyson wants to say stuff, whats wrong with him. There is something called the Freedom of Speech. He can do as he pleases just like any member on this forum. Some people will agree with what he says, some will disagree. How is the world supposed to populate with gays anyway lol!

No one here, that I read anyway said he doesn't have a right to say stupid stuff. We just have a right to point out his remarks are moronic.

Speaking of which, all the world's problems derive from the fact that there are not enough people. (Denote sarcasm).

[HomicideHenry]

So, anyone who doesn't agree with the position of pro-choice and pro-gay marriage, etc. is therefore a moron?

I'm sorry but there are far and away more people in this world against such things, than for it. That's part of the reason why I never understood how blacks and latinos are largely Democrats here in America because they are traditionalists when it comes to family, values, and all around morality--- not to say Democrats are immoral, but that most leaders in the party go in the face of those very things that billions hold dear around the world.

People have to think outside the box a bit, and understand that in the world Fury comes from it is a 19th century mentality. Men settle matters amongst themselves (bare fists, or otherwise). Marriages are between men and women, and the role of a man is to be a provider and to be the defender of the faith and the home. The role of a woman is to be the teacher, the nurse, the care giver of the children and to be a guide and help to her husband. Men and women are to be one in agreement on all decisions, no matter how big or how small.

That may be an outdated concept to people today. Such things are all but considered sexist, racist, etc. today but I find it to be the way things should be. Men should stand by their word, and their convictions. Whether they are right or wrong, is immaterial. Being politically correct, overly cautious, and selective in your words is nothing more than someone losing more and more of their own thoughts, feelings, opinions and all around self.

Someone brings up Tyson's father John Fury.... somehow this is evidence that Tyson should have no right to say anything because of what his father done.... No, you have no clue what you are even talking about. John Fury is his own man. So is Tyson. As is Peter and Hughie. As is anyone on this planet their own person. What any man or woman does, is on them. The only persons without a past were Adam and Eve. Everyone else is judged by having one. So what if his father did something. That's on his father. Judge Tyson on his own merits and points, not because of things others done.

I'm sure someone will chalk up my own words as nothing more than as upholding "racism" or pushing an anti-gay agenda, etc. or maybe someone will go the route of saying I am being very unChristian by being harsh on such persons, or maybe others will say I am being a Fury fanboy and that I am biased.... However, I will say first and foremost we have rights as human beings and the biggest of all is having opinions and freedoms of speech... Anyone who tries to limit that, is to be more scorned and despised in my opinion. Second, I believe all persons have the right to safety and pursuit of happiness, but that being said because we have the right to chose how we want to live we must then accept the fact we will be questioned, criticized and possibly be even hated for our choices. Thats a fact of life... Third, he's not a politician, monarch, legislator, etc. he's an athlete, an entertainer, a boxer... WHO CARES WHAT HE HAD TO SAY? Grow up.

Ok, Homicide, well written, but a couple contradictions IMHO. At one point you say that Tyson is his own man, but you also say he comes from a world where a certain way of thinking is accepted. But you do concede this is a 19th century mentality. I will concede that Tyson's Dad's horrific crime has no bearing on Tyson's opinions, so I was certainly wrong there. Also don't quite get "Whether right or wrong is immaterial." Doesn't sound very Christian to me.

You say that we all have a right to freedom of speech, but then you tell me to grow up because I disagree. So, everyone has freedom of speech except for me? Yes, I would like Tyson better if he said talked about issues that were actually important like climate change and extreme Islam. And yes I have that right to judge people by what they say. What a novel concept.

For what it's worth, both black abortion rates and black births out of wedlock are far higher than that of whites. I am not being bigoted, those are facts. So not sure what you mean by they have a more conservative culture.

The bottom line is whether Fury believes all this stuff or is just looking for controversy, I don't think he has a problem with us discussing it. If anything, I am doing exactly what TF wants me to do by blowing on the fire. Yes, I think Fury's remarks are dumb. Yes, he has every right to express them, and yes they went much further than simply being pro life or anti SSM. and of course, I am very happy we live in a country, whether the US or Great Britain where you can voice your opinions.

[snake33]

My butts just fine. Doesn't hurt at all, thanks for your concern.
Fury's religious conversion has a lot to do with his recent idiocy.
Ever notice how guys that just got out of prison or beat their wives talk to god after a fight?

I still want him to beat Wlad. Fury vs Wilder would be hilarious. That'd bring entertainment back
to the marquee division.

No, but claims that gays and people who have abortions are going to bring about the end of the world makes you a f**king imbecile.

[jewboypgh]

I like this fury kid. he got up off the canvas against a very hard nose steve Cunningham. fury is a character and fun to watch.
I hope his war with klitchko is on PBC and not pay per view.

Yup, don't get me wrong, Fury is very fun to watch and has a lot of talent. Besides height and reach, nice jab, nice bodywork. But if you make controversial comments like Fury has, he should expect a debate and some pushback. For anyone still confused, he has every right to say all that stuff, but we have a right to say, neither abortion nor gay marriage will have anything to do with the end of times.

[Taansend]

Typical christian.

Outdated, idiotic views full of hatred - just like every other christian (I also feel the same way about jews & muslims) who use their religion to try to suppress others.

Saying that, I still hope he wins against Klitschko. Just because we have different views doesn't mean I want bad things to happen to him (unlike christians)
