When your supposed to be the "face" of several white owned businesses in terms of marketing but are now telling all black people to boycott all white owned businesses 🤔

A 10 year old could work that one out

Maybe he decided that "face" wasn't as important as the issues he was speaking about.

I'd say whether anyone agrees with him Or not wouldnt affect whether they would support him, if anything that'd increase. In the abstract, he didn't really say anything anyways.

It’s not about encouraging Blacks to frequent black businesses. Obviously no problem with that.
But the intimation is “Don’t use White businesses” and if a White guy had said it the other way round, that is EXACTLY how it would be seen and there would quite rightly be uproar.
Has it stopped me being an AJ fan? No.
Am I a little disappointed in him ? Yes.
I just think it was unnecessary And I think he was a bit poorly Guided/advised

I wish sport was not involved with politics it's a dirty business but there again as they say were there is muck there's money !
I would have loved to have seen Eddie he must have had a face like a smacked ass.
There again a smug Lewis Hamilton telling everyone how it is with his 350 million in the bank.!

That part about supporting black businesses is really being taken out of context in that it was literally only half of the sentence. As opposed to looting shooting and criminal action against 'white' business, support black owned ffs. Honestly he was literally saying much of what you hear some people complain about when discussing BLM at least in the States. "They never condone crime or black on black crimes.." etc. Sure looked like he did that in the statement he read. Truth be told it's fooking mental this shat is still being stoked.

I'm not a big Joshua fan, but I do think this is a bit of a storm in a teacup. Asking people to support black business seems fair enough and it's certainly not binary (supporting black businesses does not automatically mean 'don't support white businesses'. Bit like Black Lives matter doesn't mean that white ones don't)

I am a big Muhammad Ali fan, and he said much more racist things than that. I'm not clamouring for any statues of him to be torn down .... and I'm not clamouring for Anthony Joshua to be blackballed, if you pardon the pun.

The further the hypocrisy. The same people saying they hope he gets smashed are probably the same ones giving him shit for being too scripted, a puppet. When he goes off script and says what he wants they cry about that as well It would be easier to just say look, I don't like the cunt.

I’m confused. From what I’ve said, what makes it sound like I don’t like him?
