1. You don’t have to say you don’t give a fuck, your comments make it blatantly obvious.
2. Not slavery at all. It’s not about a higher claim. All I’m saying is there should be more medical checks , brain scans etc. and if there was, he clearly wouldn’t be fit to fight. It’s called compassion mate.
Yes we all want to see good fights, yes we all want to see people show heart and courage.
But we don’t want to see deaths and people in vegetive states. At least I don’t , you’re clearly ok with it, and that’s fine because “ I can’t tell you how to think”
1, you're assuming i don't give a fuck. some of those rights joe took were sickening, i don't think he should be fighting but he should be free to make his own choices on how he lives his life
2, telling another adult what they are allowed & not allowed to do with their life is slavery. you're not his dad or his master. if joe wants to consent to a boxing license & whatever medicals they need him to pass to fight, that is his choice. you & i don't have to agree with that choice but he should be free to make it. i agree there should be more medical checks, brain scans etc. i'm not sure he still wouldn't be cleared to fight. greed & money always come into play. take muhammad ali, he shouldn't have been cleared to fight against larry but he was in that ring. it's not right but joe has to take some responsibility as well. he's an adult. if he's not being forced to fight then he is choosing to. i can have compassion for someone, that doesn't mean i want to trample on their freedoms because i disagree with their choices
yes we all want to see good fights, yes we all want to see people show heart and courage
i don't want to see deaths or people in vegetive states but i want people to be free to make their own choices on how they live their life. people put their health/ lives at risk everyday in all types of ways. i may not agree with the choices they are making but i respect their freedoms to make those choices
