Oscar won't be happy until there is a religion named after him
I expect it will become common in the future for American boxers after winning a fight to give thanks to the Golden One without whom nothing would be possible. :-X
Re: WTF Oscar has a High School named after him???
Much respect to Oscar.
Look at the statistics of the students.
Oscar is really involved with all of his little ethnic pet projects...people can bash him all they want...but there aint another boxer out there that does as much for his people as Oscar does.
Not one.

Ok ok so the guy is doing some good for the community which is great and I respect that. But what's with naming it after him. Is'nt there like an unwritten rule that you have to be dead before you get a school named after you?

Not if your the Messiah although even Jesus waited until he had risen from the dead before he really started blowing his own trumpet.

I applaude Wlad & Vitali for jet setting to impoverished third world countries shaking hands & handing out rice...but that's a bit less than what Oscar does.
Vernon Forrest donates time to boys homes & sets up little fight clubs & shit like that for street youngins...cashing in for your neighborhood, buildign housing, & outreach is a bit different than that.

Aww this Oscar love just sickens me. Even when it comes to charity work his devotees insist he does it better. :throwup:
Of course I'm sure there are thousands of scrofula sufferers out there who have been healed by his Royal touch :-\

Oscar puts up a lot of money into projects to benefit the community. What's he suppose to do? Name it after some one else? Fuck that.

He funded the building of the school.
Hes working to raising the level of education in the heavily Latino populated areas in Los Angeles. Hes also donated thousands of computers to schools in East Los Angeles.
He funded part of a hospital in research for cancer which his mother died from. This area of the hospital is named after his mom.
People here are obviously not fully informed and aware of what this dude does outside the ring.
