Eh?

DISCRIMINATION... DISCRIMINATION... DISCRIMINATION... Keep shouting it if it makes you feel empowered....

But.... What exactly is homophobic about what Fury said? Yes it's ridiculous, yes it's religious garbage, yes he deserves to be called out as an absolute cretin and an imbecile (though as someone alluded to, he's getting plenty of PR right now, which is fantastic for PPV sales for his next fight), yes he should be challenged on his views...: but what he said isn't homophobic.... And 50 years ago, most people wouldn't have believed abortion and gay marriage would be made legal (though again most sensible folk nowadays see that it is only right).... Nowhere has he compared gay people to paedophiles... What he said is simply his religious belief (Which is one that is supported by most traveller folk) - we get into really tricky grounds if we ban people from being able to share their religious beliefs - hell, for long enough we've allowed religious hate preachers to get away with much worse:..

If the award was sportsperson of the year would Fury as world heavyweight champion be a reasonable candidate for the award Him?

But not a heart like a pea

No.

Some don't like fury but that's unfortunate cos he ain't going anywhere . Very underrated! Probably doesn't help himself with comments at time but his boxing ability and intelligence in the ring are a different kettle of fish. Proper grown on me in the last year.

Well he really does need to win the rematch. BBC Sport tried rebuilding some of the damage he'd done with his apology on the show instead of buckling to pressure to drop him because from their perspective it wouldn't be great to alienate a heavyweight boxing champion.

Whilst he holds those belts it offers him a slight protection that stops the sports media fully getting the knives out for him.....if he loses them though straight back to Klitschko then the media will fully hang him out to dry.

By his own admission Fury has mental health issues. He talks openly about highs and lows. He mentioned after the fight its likely he will be down for a week.

Maybe he regrets saying a few of his comments. He did make a public apology on SPOTY.

For some of course that wont be good enough.

Those of us who are old farts and remember the 1970's, will giggle at the thought of Mr Fury taking on virtually anyone from the top ten of that time..

Well, err, yeah. Tends to work that way if you've been insulted.

Zucchini is 100% right re what TF was actually saying about the 3 subjects and the worlds ending

true, and in Sinfield's case, humble too

So you think it's OK for Tyson Fury to equate Peodophilia and peodophiles with homosexuality and homosexuals. It's alright right is it, for Fury to compare people who choose or feel forced to have abortions with peodophiles and groomers. While we're condoning his views on the place women should have ie. On their backs or in a kitchen making tea.
Finally it's acceptable to physically threaten someone with a broken jaw and to have some thug jump on his head till he loses consciousness, incidentally this is something that happened to a friend of mine who now needs full time assistance for the rest of his life.

No, I don't like Tyson Fury. I said Zucchini was correct in what he said about what Tyson fury said and meant, rather than some of the made up stuff that seems to be reported.
I'll repeat this - I don't like Tyson Fury and his views. His views however are based on Religion and his Culture, He therefore has every right to say what he wants, and take the consequences that arise from them.

His views are based on religious beliefs so he can say whatever he wants?! Yeah alright then, world's f@@k ed if that's the case. "I don't believe black people should have equal rights" is that OK???
