A lot of people are up in arms about it.

What have you guys made of it?

this seemed to be a political statement by a royalist in order to create tension a potentially volatile statement imo. Considering Frampton is trying to represent a new united Northern Ireland.

I'm sorry, but I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around this situation. Might you explain please?

So fan wears a Union Jack waistcoat to a fight. Somehow, he is asked to remove it. What was the reason? Is it because an Irish fighter was there? Was he actually making some political statement? Granted he just should have taken it off, but I'm missing something on the issue it created. Thanks bruv!

I think the troubles in Northern Ireland are still there although they have mellowed in recent years but Frampton like Barry Mcguigan was before him, trying to promote a united northern ireland, to turn up wearing a British waistcoat in order to undermine that and to try and insight a reaction from other fans is piss poor.

Apparently he was told to remove it, which he did, 3 times and each time put it back on.
