Re: Anthony Joshuas racist comments
Has he said that though? Has he personally complained about being kept down? Ironically the boxing punters who are up in arms about this are now firmly in Tyson Fury's corner. Fury of course who has publicly claimed to have been held back because of his race. Has been racist, homophobic, sexist. You couldn't make up the hypocrisy.
The chances Joshua has received are par for the course aren't they? Black, white, Purple. If you're gifted at something, you get treated differently, favours get done, strings get pulled. It's most notable in sports, because with the greatest of respect, sports people tend to be thicker than people that are gifted in biology or engineering, and would have been more likely to have done something worth glossing over or sweeping under the carpet. It happens. He, or anyone else offered those kind of breaks is the exception and not the rule no?
Taking AJ's timeline and the opportunities afforded to him and offering it up as some sort of snapshot of how things are done. Is not how things are done.
