Holyfield in hot water after making anti-gay comment on big brother

[Morgan-B-Howell]

Holyfield is one of my heroes & I felt let down by this..

I'd rather talk about his tremendous boxing achievements not his myopic view of the world.

thing is he was asked what his opinion was and he gave it. It was just that, an opinion. I don't agree with him but all the shit he's got for it is out of proportion as far as I'm concerned. I think it's far more damaging what the rest of those no talent attentionwhores are up to in there. He's how you get famous, sleep with someone's husband and leak a sex tape! Great role model! At least Holyfield had to work hard for years his fame, these bitches drop their knickers and it's seen as a career move to aspire to. Fuck yourselves and keep on fucking off.

So people shouldn't be disgusted by his view because he was asked to give it?

It's not really an opinion, either. What he said (the part about "fixing" homosexuality) is just not true.

I can say "in my opinion, pizza is the best food" or "in my opinion, Floyd will beat Pacquaio".

I can't say "in my opinion, the earth is made of a hard cheese". What the earth is made of isn't something you can have an opinion on. There's the right answer, and then there's the wrong answers.

Holyfield can be a homophobe and not support gays, cool, but when you're rattling off nonsense that is just inaccurate, people are going to call you out for it.

I think you'll find there are people, gay included who don't wish to be, and sign up for treatment to become straight. Not saying it's correct but it's their belief.

Some people believe the bible is the literal word of god.

and people are entitled to be offended by an opinion. Unless he's acting out those beliefs it's not discrimination.

the bigger issue for me are the other clowns in the house
