He's been fighting and living in the US for 6 years. If he hasn't bothered to learn that directly comparing a black man to a gorilla is gong to be interpreted as racist or hateful or in poor taste then he's either really stupid or ignorant or actually hate filled and racist. Especially since he put the shirt on his little aryan son and is smiling ear to ear with a shit eating grin!
I had not realized that which makes him look even worse. Although that is one racist I would not like to meet in a dark alley.Quote:

He might as well keep it real and get whites to train his ass.
That Gorilla is getting paid when he's getting pimped.
So we can conclude it was in very bad taste to put that shirt on your child and make that comment.
A lot of that shit isn't talked about now a days. He's been there 6 years, but it's not like he's studying American culture. He goes into a gym every day and throws heavy leather at people, spends time with his family and maybe works on his English if he has time. He barely speaks the language, how is he supposed to learn all the nuances of race relations in the United States? What does it prove that he's grinning? He'd also be grinning if he was making fun of Adonis' look and intelligence, not his race.Quote:

That is weak...thanks for showing your true colors though;DQuote:

LOTS of fighters from white countries don't behave in such a way.
He's been warned about his behavior before.
Added fuel to make the fight more interesting. There has been a lot worse out there said by all races, so stop being so damn sensitive.
Tell that to the people calling Mayweather and Hopkins racists.Quote:

It suggests that Stevenson is a large muscular beast but is sub human in looks and intelligence and is nothing more than a primate. Whereas Kovalev and his aryan looking son are able to laugh about how inferior he is and about how he's just a joke on a t-shirt and someone to publicly humiliate and ridicule on twitter.
Here are some images that Kovalev could have used if he had wanted to poke fun of Stevenson in a less offensive and demeaning way. Some of these are outright cute.

Extremely distasteful and terribly unjust from Kovalev.
It's grossly unfair to compare an ape to a piece of sh1t like Adonis.
You don't find male apes being pimp enforcers like Adonis and beating up young females. Male gorillas watch over and protect their females and young from harm.
That Ape makes more than Kovalev...LOTS more.Quote:

Obviously you're a racist.Quote:

Now you've revealed your racist motive beyond a doubt.

So are you saying history would have a more positive view of Hitler if he has killed more Russians ?
Seems a strange thing to say.
So we have gone from a very bad taste tee shirt , to talking about mass murder , ask yourself who is the racist here , or what is your point.
Try to explain if you want people to understand your point of view.
