Why are Boxers called Tyson tossers?

[BrilloPad]

Doesn't sound much different than the kind of stuff we see on CUK every day, just look at the Nigella thread for one example.

Just because he's good at hitting people doesn't imply he doesn't hold views people might find offensive.

CUK is a tiny forum no-one cares about.

Tyson is supposed to be a role model.

The man's a cretin. Jess doesn't need to put on a dress to look f* awesome.

Maybe he doesn't want to be a role model. Why is supposed to be one?

He doesn't get a choice while he is famous.

Exactly. Not everybody actually cares about how other people feel about them. He has his opinions and he's happy to give them. If you don't like them you know exactly what you can do.

Load of crap. Being famous and being a role model do not go hand in hand. Ian Brady is famous, not sure many people look up to him.

yep deselect him from competing in sports personality contests as he is offensive.

I think it's stupid that anyone who gets in the public eye is supposed to suddenly become a role model. If he's offensive, stop reporting everything he says.

I'm guessing him, his management and sponsors aren't half enjoying all the publicity and the extra cash it will be generating.

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