espn Keith Olbermann calls for boycott of Floyd fight for domestic abuse

[Beanflicker]

At the end of the day, if someone wants to take a stand against a convicted woman beater and say that people should boycott him, I don't think that's an unreasonable stance to take, regardless of whether or not you've taken a similar stance before.

Olbermann has the right to express his opinion and take any moral stance he wants, just like anyone else. Unfortunately for him, his "boycott" plea is going to be about as effective as throwing a pool noodle under the wheel of a charging mack truck.

I used to like Oldermann then he turned into a double talking blubberer whe became a parody of himself. Where was Keith when Tony Ayala was riding Espn in a comeback?

On a side, there is something about Jim Rome's snarky arse that makes me want to punch him in the teeth. Can't stand him.

Politically correct twaddle. A shelf stacker might be an alcoholic but until he is drinking on the job and while his work performance is good, you should leave him alone. Floyd does his job and he is a boxer. I think you leave it at that. Should we put Tyson in a gulag? Shut up Olberman you pompous old git. If you dont want to watch then dont watch, but quit telling people what to do. This is boxing, not Israeli genocide.

Not that I am defending woman beating. That is up to the law and the women. This is just a fighter doing his job.

I agree. My and most people's problem with Olbermann is that he picks this fight to start running his mouth. He's right, he'll get more attention bringing up Floyd's misogynistic ways at this time, but where was he for Floyd's other fights. If he feels so strongly about it why doesn't he talk about it a couple of times a month? As far as I know, Floyd has served his sentence and doesn't have a domestic abuse case against him now.
Here's the thing that irks me the most about people like Olbermann, you can't get mad at them, you can't write to them, you can't write to their boss, you can't write to their network. If you do, it makes the attention hungry turds happy, they will say to their boss or the network, see I'm getting people to talk about this problem.
It doesn't matter how you say it, they will make you look like you are defending domestic abuse. I think he gets his kicks by pissing people off.
