I was talking about the Stevenson monkey drama that the boxing media and fans used against Kovalev to make him out into a racist.
But whatever, feel free to spin it completely off topic...

And especially considering the death and violence has been dramatically decreasing, almost to the point of non-existence.

Originally posted by Vlad_ View PostKovalev was never racist. Russians call people that they consider ****** monkeys. You guys love watching dash cam crahes, there are plenty of times when someone does something ****** he is called a monkey. That’s what it is. Kovalev called Stevenson a monkey because he considers him ******. In american mentalitly, comparing blacks to primates is a racist move. In russia, whether you’re white, black, or anything in between, you do something dumb you might get called a monkey. But because he american boxing journalists don’t know that shlt, they cry racism even though they’re uninformed.
There was controversy before the pair even met in the ring, with Nielsen using the term "abekat" to describe his rival at a press conference.
Per ESPN.com's account of the fight, Tyson was not impressed when he was told the term meant "monkey man" when translated. He said in a statement, "This will make me punish him even more than I had planned."
It was later revealed that the word was actually used in Danish to describe someone who acted foolishly, but the furore had helped raise the profile of the bout.

Though... Imagine the amount of money he’d generate/make if he was an open member of the Klan and was american? They’d come out in droves.
I’d watch. :|...

A racist who wants to prove he's not racist.
Look, I don't know nor care if the man is a racist but c'mon now, everybody knows a racist can still have friends/partners...etc of other races and still be a racist.
The classic line..." I'm not a racist, I have black friends"
