To the people who say that they can't forgive what he did, have a think about it,

Gerald was a product of his environment. He is no better nor worse than those before him, or young men of a similar situation today.

In boxing Gerald rose from the ghetto. He invested his life, his body and soul to our sport. He sacrificed nearly all vices in order to reach prominence.
He reatined one vice, dog fighting. An addiction surely, frowned upon by the majority, but a cult "sport" that has masses of followers even today.

Geralad McClellan was not the only one to partake in this sport. Not the first, not the last. He was a mere participant.
A participant, like all the others, that thinks this is an ordinary sport.

So, how can it be said that he doesn't deserve sympathy?

We love the sport, idolise its participants and recognise their sacrifices, but because they hold a differently mentality to our own we don't sympathise with them when they are life-shatteringly injured?
P[eople are all unique mentally, some deem different thinks acceptable.
Gerald and thousands like him see nothing unnatural about Dog Fighting.
He was raised this way, didn't choose his own path.
Product of his environment.


I can't watch the videos anymore.
He was an awesome fighter, a huge prospect, a natural athlete and now his life is wasted.
