He says I cannot look past hatred of Floyd Mayweather? Well, I wonder what hatred is blinding him, since he plainly can't see the honesty in what I wrote, and since it apparent he's stuck in the midst of his own contradiction.
Medic, your silence tells us all that you respect no one who uses foul language, or at least that no one who curses is worthy of the label "classy." I'm sure that means you are a Boy Scout priest? Come on, Medic. You're sounding more and more like Uke... |
My silence should tell you is that I have a job that requires long hours (12+) and I'm sorry but this forum really isn't that big of a priority for me.
I'll keep my response brief:
1. Hatton really didn't need to make Mayweather look like a schmuck. I'm sure you agree Mayweather does that well all by himself.
2. I'll retract the OBL remark since it seems to have really gotten your panties in a bunch.
3. On the subject of class: I know many, many people both in and out of the military who use profanity the way other people use prepositions. Some of them I think of as "a class act", some I admire, some I really don't care for at all.
The question of class in this instance is based not upon whether or not someone curses, but rather on understanding and acting in a way that is appropriate for a given situation. What is acceptable in the club, on a street corner, or way up in the boonies is not acceptable in a church, in a classroom, in a court of law, or on live national (or international) TV.
Hatton's rips on Mayweather would have been just as good wihout all the cursing. I think they would have had even more zing, plus we could have heard the entire broadcast without the announcer apologizing profusely (he seems to think Hatton's cursing was inappropriate, hmmmmm. . . .). I really hated to see Hatton sink down to that level.
R Lee Ermey is a pretty good example. In Tom Yum's post (and thank you for posting it Tom) we have him using every possible vulgar use of profanity in the book, yet on his show Mail Call he doesn't use any(well at least I've never heard it, I haven't seen every episode). In 8 seasons so far I haven't heard him drop the F bomb once. T
4. IMHO it would be great for both fighters if Hatton knocked the piss out of Mayweather and fed him a little humble pie. Then Hatton would gain his recognition and maybe Mayweather just might hit the gym with a new trainer and add some more offensive capability to his defense.
Peace out. . . .
