And Floyd was racist first so much of the racism back is understandable.

But here I don't see racism from Manny fans or hatred. So I see no reason for calling them vile.

A few have tried too hard to excuse some things but that's not vile. It would be a delight if Manny threads and Floyd threads just stopped coming until there was a decent reason to discuss them.(decent like a fight announcement)
@Ron Swanson, thanks for the decent reply. To be honest I'm not familiar with Floyd's racism. Was it remarks he made in public back in the day. I would think he probably would have picked up that nonsense from his father. I've worked in the jail system in the US and it breeds racism. Not saying that's definitely the case, like I said I'm not that familiar with the Floyd's racist stuff. It's a bit Ironic, a large portion of his wealth has been generated from us white folk. You are a big Floyd fan and I would think you are white, not that it matters just bringing it up as an example, you could very well be black. In reality, when I watch boxing be it Floyd or anyone else very rarely does race even cross my mind during a fight. I will say a few times when I've seen a white American boxer it crosses my mind it might be nice to see a white American champ but my main enjoyment comes from good boxing period. I mean look at Crawford, I don't care if he's orange he's beautiful to watch, he's great to watch.

Sorry, I went of on a tangent, just wondering if you Ron could in readers digest version tell me a bit about Floyd's racist stuff, I've never observed it in recent times, thanks.
