Broner Banned For a Year by WBO/WBC but is it fair? [POLL]

[Check_hooks]

People are getting soft when it comes to racism

What Broner said wasn't racist just like when Roach called Elie a ****en ***, that wasn't racist either but a statement of fact

[cantor5150]

I am Latino and didn't find it racis, on the other hand the mexicutioner or Mexican assassin was worst and that's what PAC man was called, he didn't like it but that is worst then saying what Broner said. Broner should go out and defend himself and not apologies if he does it mean he did day it in a bad way and we all know thta was not the case.

[Stevens Osoria]

Racist? The singling out of Broner is the actual racist act!

[HAY-B]

okay, first off what he said aint racist imo, guys like Nacho be saying Mayweather and Bradley fight "black" but he aint get banned but Broner get banned for saying he beat up a mexican? wtf is going on in boxing that shi- like this happens? why not deal with corruption like judges awarding gifts or trying to rob fighters like with the 114-114 Canelo Mayweather score or the Maidana - Mayweather 114-114 score. This is ridiculous.

You know if it was Molina saying he beat up a black boxer he wouldn't be getting banned. But The Problem gotta apologize? if he backs down and apologizes he'll lose me as a fan.

Any form racism is detestable, more so in absence of an apology. to be suspended by for 1 year for post fight comments.

what do yall think? should AB apologize? was the punishment fair? polls up

I think its a joke. why because it's not the first, second or third time he has done his can man spiel in a post fight interview and nothing was made of it. if folks are put off by him saying he beat a f'ning Mexican, just request an apology. there is no need for a suspension especially when he won't be fighting for a title within the next year. it's like somebody is pressing the wbc & wbo to do this vs them just pushing back on those pushing them.
if he does not apologize, are the going to extend the suspension until he does? if not, it's a waste of time and press.

A slap on the wrist if anything, for disrespecting Mexican warriors.

[Cuban Linx]

I don't think it's fair at all.

[Mr. Philadel]

I am a Mexican , born and living in México and i was not offended by Broner's comment at all , i think he was just trying to freestyle rhyming African with Mexican?

This suspension is over the top. A fine would of been just fine.

green k!!

Broner was running off the slogan he usually drops and his freestyle remix version came across lame....Broner is in a particular lane where the punishment seems excessive but then again you gotta send a message to the kid showing him which borders not to cross....even if they wanna refer to themselves as tough "Mexicans", "Mexican" warriors with "Mexican" pride....you're not allowed to refer to them as "Mexican" or say you just beat the ish outta one for some strange reason

like I said, the way it came across mixed with the censor police officer snatching the mic back and trying to tell the kid how to behave...you know, put the kid on blast...it made it way more worse than any it really was....still was lame though!!

[youth]

Its ridiculous, Im getting tired of all this race stuff all ready. Its almost feels like they want us to know we are of differnt races instead of americans.

[-Kev-]

Well for the WBC it was because "Oh they Mexican, so of course they'd ban him"...now the WBO did it too, so what is the excuse there?

Broner should not have said what he said and leaving that unpunished would start an open season on subtle racism/blatant disrespect to another ethnicity in a sport that is worldwide.

Well me personally. . . I think Fuck Him. It's Adrien Broner not Shawn Porter or Tim Bradley, people who actually mean something to this sport.
