Manny Pacquiao: Nike terminates deal with boxing great

Nike has terminated its relationship with Manny Pacquiao after the six-weight world champion described homosexuals as "worse than animals".

The 37-year-old, who is running for a senate seat in his native Philippines, later apologised for his comments.

"We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent," said a Nike statement.

"Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community."

The sportswear company added: "We no longer have a relationship with Manny Pacquiao."

Pacquiao's original remark was made in a television interview and he initially appeared unrepentant, writing on Instagram that he was "just telling the truth of what the Bible says".

However, he later wrote on Facebook he was "not condemning LGBT", while still voicing his opposition for gay marriage.

Pacquiao, whose last fight was a defeat by Floyd Mayweather in May, is due to fight American Timothy Bradley Jr in Las Vegas in April.

British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury apologised in December for criticising homosexuality, as well as derogatory remarks he made about women.

But boxing promoter Frank Warren told BBC Radio 5 live that the sport did not have a problem with homophobia.

"No matter what walk of life you come from there are bigots," said Warren. "I don't think it's a problem for boxing. In Tyson Fury's case I hope it was something he said on the spur of the moment. He regrets it.

"You can't condemn all of sport because of people's stupid remarks. They are two boxers out of many thousands of boxers.

"Pacquiao's certainly lost any type of sponsorship. That's all finished. No-one's ever going to sponsor him again.

"The majority of the fans will be totally abhorred about what he said, but that is going be the test - how many people decide they want to watch him fight."

So You can't say anything bad about the gays, but you can use child labour, exploit people and fiddle your taxes.

Po faced hypocritical hypersensitive fearful cheating Nike fuckers.

Bless him, he is so cute in his infinite wisdom. I just find it funny and interesting when people express unusual points of view. Even if I was gay, I would probably just laugh. Everyone is so afraid of upsetting everyone these days and I kind of respect people who refuse to kneel at the altar of political correctness. It shows a feisty irreverence and it livens things up. I don't agree with him at all, but that isn't the point.

If?

When?

Where?

Does the bible explicitly say homosexuality is an abomination or punishable by death anywhere but that book of Levitcus? How about all the other stupid things that book says the same about, why just ignore those? I mean I have a pretty firm opinion of my own why, but what is the religious argument for blatantly picking and choosing like that?

Pacman as a bad guy is what the boxing world needs..lets hope he puts that energy in the ring against bradley.

Methinks NVSemen is protesting altogether too much about homosexuals.

Is it that you find them threatening, and that you might partake of the ol' meat pole yourself if there were too many of them about?

I was going to say exactly the same thing. You would have thought Manny and Nike would now be a match made in heaven. They have to appear politically correct in these delirium induced times. The other one that makes me laugh is Apple and their fake standoff with the US authorities. All these corporations could rot and I would still maintain Manny has his right to an opinion.

IF...?

If we skip religious part of the story, I pretty much see it was Nike who pulled this interview out of the closet so they have a legitimate reason to terminate the contract with Pacman who is in the end of this career. Judging based on Apple or Subway, I am pretty sure Nike is being run by 50% of homos at least.

I think a large portion of the gay community buy Nike gear.

bible does not say earth is flat. Isaac Newton read bible a lot and wrote 1,000,000 commentaries to it. The founder of science actually spent largest portion of his time with the word of God. THis actually says something.

How big is gay community? Lets say 10% in US. So large portion is 50% of 10% buys Nike products = 5% . So, Nike sacrificed Pacman for the sake of 5% = minority?

Nike say they got rid of him because they found the views wrong and abhorrent.

Manny is on his last fight so can afford to drop him too.
