So Pacquiao in a spot of bother..states he "disagrees" with same sex marriage..

[Althugz]

Personally don't think it's that bad what he has said..I'm sure many people hold the same stance. It's just that he has foolishly commited PR suicide. Why the fuck would you say it being one of, if not the most prominent boxer on the planet??

Obviosuly Floyd has jumped over this and Tweeted how he supports Obamas stance on gay marriage.

These two are a pair of clowns - for all their entourage members..not 1 fucker tells them it's a bad idea to say you disagree with gay marriage or that people will probably not take kindly to you playing the race card with Jeremy Lin..

Anyway I'm sure this will all blow over like the Lin thing did..Didn't seem to hurt Floyd one bit..

But rumour has it that Pacs fight after Bradley is a grudge rematch against Cotto..catchweight of 130 so Cotto can fit into some skinny jeans and Pac can beat the fuck out of him for sharing night hugs with his big buddy, Perez.

Remember where you heard it first

1-Why is Pac being asked about gay marriage?

Because he is a top athlete?
Top athletes aren't asked very much about domestic policy issues in general, much less this issue.

Because he is a politican in the Phillippinnes- well he isn't a politician in the US. If foreign government officials are in the US are they asked about US domestic policy issues?? No. If Cameron or Merkel or Ayrault came to the US to visit Obama, any interviews they might do with any media source in the US would focus on relations between the countries, global economic issues, war. The likelihood of one of them being asked about gay marriage is not very high.

So once again why was he even asked? He was interviewed by the National Conservative Examiner. They were looking to find someone who would be against gay marriage and Pac was a likely candidate, if you do any research on his background.

So they set it up ,and Pac being the uneducated (and not too bright) political novice that he is, stepped right into it.

Why was John Lennon asked for his views on Vietnam? Why was Pac asked for his views on gay marriage? Because they are well known individuals and have views. One individual was lucid and to the point in his observations and the other has shown himself to be a primitive, hateful Bible basher. I have no problem with Pac being asked something. He wasn't set up, he hung himself with his own words.

I find his views deplorable, but it is what it is. It just means more people want to see him lose.

it's a personal opinion. where's freedom of speech? No need for Pacman apologize to anyone

Who fucking cares if he agrees with this that or the other , he is a boxer ,

the end.

I see nothing wrong with that, he was merely voicing his stance on the issue. I share his views on the matter, but not basing it on religion like he does. Unless he goes out of his way to directly prevent a gay couple from being married, why should anyone be offended? Aren't the gay community demanding others to be more tolerant on their views? Why can't they practice what they preach when it comes to this issue? He was asked a question and he answered it truthfully unlike most politicians nowadays who'd just jump on the popular social/religious/political view bandwagons despite believing otherwise merely to attract more voters (I'm looking at you Obama). He didn't come of as inciting hatred nor did he preach or sound condescending.

He is also a politician. Manny and his views do have an effect upon people and their way of life, he should be called out accordingly.
