Berto is a piece of s...

[Taeth]

all the talk about how people should be more aware of the poverty and tragedy in Haiti, and now he came out with this gem...

On Monday morning, Berto wrote the following on Twitter: “R.I.P to Edwin Valero after killing his wife yesterday he just killed himself in jail today. WOW women are a [expletive] boy RIP E.V.”

Im a fan of Andre Berto but i think the comment is wrong, but maybe he wasn't thinking and his mouth was 3 seconds ahead of his brain. Because Andre Berto normally comes across as a nice guy, i mean we've all said stuff we didn't mean. Or its come out wrong, no need to hate on the guy. He's normally a class act.

I agree, plus he might have known Valero personally and have more of an idea of what was going on.

I mean if one of my mates killed his wife and then himself that's the kind of thing I'd likely post.

People tend to be a lot more understanding and forgiving when they know and like the person.

The idea that man kills woman = evil scumbag who will burn in hell is a little bit simplistic, and you might make more allowances if the killer was a personal friend or someone whose character you knew was pretty good.

He was just showing support to Edwin, but I do agree it was an ill advised comment. But he's apoligised so let's move on.


I have to laugh at irony however about all these people creating threads to say 'Fuck you', or label someone a piece of shit becuase of something they said on a forum. I mean come on, glass houses and all that.

I doubt his kids even know about it. And I don't see how a public text message compares to pushing someone on to a train track.

He apologized already. What more do you want him to fukking do? Go buy them a house? Put them through college? Get off his fukking back already. I seriously doubt he gives a fukk you lost the little respect you had for him. Man what the fukk is he going to do now?

Haha no kidding, this is why Twitter and Facebook is bad. Of course Berto's snap judgement is going to be to relate with the other fighter! He apologized, move on and get your own life. It's not like this was the conclusion of a bunch of research he did, it was a snap thing he typed probably on his phone after he read the headline, ease up! Andre Berto is by all accounts a really good guy, ALL of us have put our foot in our mouth at some point in time talking about something we didn't know all the facts to.

I don't think it means he's a horrible person, just a dumb kid trying to act cool on twitter.

Exactly man, some people had a go at him on twitter about it and his response was "YO YO relax people relax I don't know what happened with Edwin Valero and his wife I just feel its a sad day he was a great fighter"
The comment was stupid and he apologised for offending anyone, it was just a snap reaction to hearing about a tragic situation.
