Is it more than the three quotes mentioned in this article? http://thegrapevine.theroot.com/yes-conor-mcgregor-is-a-racist-1796876545

“http://thegrapevine.theroot.com/yes-conor-mcgregor-is-a-racist-1796876545" is the one i’m specifically referring to, but my impression of the Root’s coverage so far has been they’re entirely too willing to brush aside anything in Mayweather’s past. They stop short of going full Steven A Smith and defending him, but…

Here’s the article:

That argument is reasonable, but it’s absolutely not where that article was going.

Noone’s saying you shouldn’t be offended, or that McGregor’s comments weren’t racist. They were. But Mayweather (from what we know) has done a lot worse. He has his own history of racist comments (which the Root has yet to mention). And on top of saying bad things, he actually does bad things - like serially…

You’re almost too dumb for words. I’ll try one more time. She literally says she hopes Mayweather knocks his head off. That is both Mayweather winning and McGregor losing. It is almost impossible to interpret this any other way.

In a response where you’re splitting hairs about someone not explicitly saying something, you’re going to assign political comments to me that I’ve never made?

The Root’s “coverage” has been objectively terrible. They give some of Mayweather’s transgressions a few sentences of lip service, then lay into McGregor for the rest of the articles. And is there any mention of the racist shit Mayweather has said in the past? Oh god no, that would ruin the whole narrative.

Wow. Just wow.

Show me anywhere on The Root where they have said to root for Mayweather. I’ll wait.

Where did the Root say that? The woman who wrote that article never endorsed FM, she pretty much said it was a choice between turd 1 and turd 2.

I don’t know shit about boxing. Will this really go 12 rounds? I kind of figured Floyd so far outclasses him (at boxing) that it would be over quickly.

I’m reluctant to get on board with this. People in NBA circles are way, way too enamored with “young talent”. The Kings traded away their best player and are going to be fucking terrible this year. Rookies are, with almost no exceptions, abysmal. Second year players are almost universally bad. If your historically…

That might work for NY or Chicago, but Portland is probably the least diverse large city in the US. It’s white as fuck.

Armageddon when Chick goes to his ex’s house and gives his kid the toy space shuttle.... GODDAMN YOU VIOLINS I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING

Unfortunately (for Floyd), on top of “late payment penalties” he also has to pay interest. That was at 3% for a long time but is now up over 4%.

I almost lost it just now reading Burneko talking about dogs. I’m going to hug my dogs tonight.

It’s actually worse than that. His investment income is taxed, while the IRS penalties and interest aren’t deductible. Depending on what the investments are and what state they’re taxed in, that could mean he has to clear 20% just to break even.

“should try doing their fucking jobs and protecting people”

It just keeps getting funnier!!!
