Mike Tyson

[RoseRed]

Maybe I am wrong, but I find it outrageous that this guy is allowed to keep breaking the rules and still keeps being given the go ahead to fight.  

Sure, he did spend his time in prison for rape, but there are 2-3 new allegations.  And yes, he's not yet proven guilty, but look at his history...

He also bit the other guy at a press conference in regards to this upcoming fight.  Why can't he act like a civilized human being?  Is he really that great?

Rose, its part of a conspiracy to turn professional boxing into professional wrestling..in other words, its all about money, character doesn't mean diddly.

 

[RoseRed]

It certainly does not set a good example for our children that are growing up and us parents who are trying to instill good sportsmanship in them.  

 

[Otter]

Couldn't agree more with you, Rose.

Did he get a license to fight or was it bite? I think Mike has been hit in the head one time too many.  He's losing it, the guy is nuts.  If anyone else had blabbered as many racist remarks as he did in that press conference they would've been finished.

It took me days to explain to my 2 young sons(ages 10&11) how an idiot like Tyson could screw up his entire promising career by pulling some of his many many stunts.

Now I've got to explain to them why DC would actually let that animal fight again.  I'm just going to tell them that they're are no good reasons...  must simply be money...

Our daughters don't even know who Mike Tyson is and could care less about boxing.

I have a question, because I don't know much about boxing rules:

Why wouldn't other boxers just refuse to fight Tyson?  Can they do that?

HUGE payday to fight Tyson..by far the biggest draw in boxing..

 

[StillCrazy]

hmm, DC accepting Mike tyson.  For some reason I'm reminded of the Marion Barry re-election.

 

[vraiblonde]

Well, I think if Tyson can get a fight, that's A-OK with me.  No offense, but I think a sport that consists of two people beating the hell out of each other isn't much of a sport.  Sorry, boxing fans but I'm just not into it.

If all else fails, Tyson should contact Vince McMahon.  He could be Stephanie's new man, since HHH gave her the boot.

Tyson..... Not a role model for any of our children....
or should we teach our children to rape and mame and assault?

It is pretty sad that the media allows it,  promotes it and  publishes the trash we & our children see every day.... why should We...

What next, Re - open the coliseum in rome for the summer olympics ?

While stands Mike Tyson, We shall fall; When falls Mike Tyson, We shall stand; And when We fall -- the world.

Newsflash...
Baltimore native Mike Tyson is preparing to battle inside the ring again down south in Tennessee.  Chances are Mike will be available to be seen live and on Pay-per-view, just like the ultimate fighting championships that allow lowlife streetifghters earn a living maiming opponents.  He's not the ideal role model for children you would normaly see on a wheaties cereal box.  In his defense, most all school systems don't show pornography material as part of their sex education curricula either.  Mike for mayor of D.C., why not?
