OT - Pacquiao vs Bradley

[cowboyronnie]

Everytime I score this, I have it wider and wider for Bradley

Watching it live, I scored it a draw

2nd time 6-5-1 Bradley

3rd time 7-5 Bradley


Bradley's defense was terrific. Took the straight left away, and Manny had no answer.

How do I know you're black?

I don't see why people don't get called on being homers for their own race. Black-Americans for Floyd, Flip-Americans for Manny, Mexican-Americans for Ortiz/JMM/whomever.

I think he deleted it, but someone on the Bucks board said that after the fight Brandon Jennings was on twitter ranting for Bradley...then randomly admitted he was only saying it because Bradley was black.

What does me being black have to do with my post?

[cowboyronnie]

I knew because it had _everything_ to do with your post.

Nothing wrong with it. It's human nature. All things equal, we side with whoever is most like us. It's always been this way and it'll continue being this way. We're fans of ourselves before we're fans of anything else.

1) I didn't say there was anything wrong with it.

2) Were not talking about rooting for people in this situation, are we (that's what I take it you meant when you said "siding with")? We are talking about scoring a fight. If I scored every fight I watch for the guy who looks most like me, my opinion is worthless. If I root for the guy who looks most like me in fights, well I think its silly, but its still just my business.

There is something wrong with it if you expect your opinion to matter in a dialogue with other people. Sure go ahead and see everything how you want to see it, perceive things so that they most benefit you or your race or your "side", but don't try to convince me that your perceptions hold for anyone but yourself. The guy above you only saw it as a Bradley win because he identifies with him according to race.

Right. Much less pretentiously put.

You assumed because I was black that I'd score for Tim? That's pretty dumb.
