Why are Boxers called Tyson tossers?

[MrMarkyMark]

Unfortunately if you do a sport you are a role model.

Agreed. However, boxers tend to be different role models than most.
Definitely the case in this instance.

Given the name of the "contest" he should be the hands down winner as he seems to have a great personality.

I just looked up the other names.

Quite a few of them do have personalities but have managers, parents etc who tell them to button it before they grow up and learn to have restraint in public.

The overseas contenders all have personalities e.g. the tennis players have all lost their cool at some point.

If Tyson lost his cool in a fight I could understand. But making comments outside the ring that are inflammatory(and bollux) is not something a role model should be allowed to get away with.

You are allowed to get away with sexism and homophobia in sport - if you weren't football would lose a good quarter of it's players, managers etc.

Stop bitching and do something about it.

Why don't you offer him a straightener at a service station of your choice?

True true. However I think you are forgetting rape and speeding.

I have done my bit for trying to put the world to rights. Why don't you get your Batman outfit on? Oh yes. I forgot. You cannot get one to fit.

[MrMarkyMark]

FTFY

Why don't you get your Fatman outfit on?

We both forgot paedophilia....
