That's a bit harsh.

I think the fact that he has now taken to talking about himself in the third person makes this entirely fair! |

I think it's bad that even a sports website can't write an article about him without mentioning comments he has made.
He's world champion and all everyone seems to be doing is getting on his back.
I don't agree with his comments, but he's a gypsy, they're brought up completely different to the rest of us and that's what they believe in. They're very religious and think women should be at home with the kids cooking and cleaning. That doesn't mean it's right, but that's how it is in his community.
Also, he's getting stick for saying Jessica Ennis slaps up well in a dress? I'm sure most blokes have said ten times worse down the pub.

The other Tyson is somewhat of a beloved figure figure these days despite being a convicted rapist.
Fury is a bit of bellend but at least he has a bit about him unlike so many of our leading sportsmen. Usual storm in a teacup about his comments/opinions

To me, sexism and homophobia are a bit more serious than being "a bit of a bellend"
I'm glad he's been stripped of his title.

He hasn't been stripped of a title because of the comments though, it's because he is fighting Klitscho again before fighting the mandatory challenger. |

Yeah, I know that. I'm just glad. His views are dangerous. No one would be making excuses for him had he been racist.

Hmmm. A racist, sexist, homophobe. Now who does that remind me of on this forum..? |

He's been stripped of ONE of them. I think he won 3(?) belts from different Boxing organisations when he won. |

complete and utter bell end.
but also a complete and utter waste of police time and money investigating his remarks. though I guess they are duty bound to do so.

Apathy at his comments are bizarre - he's clearly a bigoted arsehole and a complete waste of oxygen. Unfortunately he has the right to say what he wants, and we all do. Easiest thing is for the media companies to not give him the inches/air time but he's a good story.
Should he be on the SPOTY list? Yes. Should he be allowed to think and say what he likes (unless a criminal offence)? Yes. Is he a complete and utter cockwomble who should be widely ignored and derided, and will be the second Klitschko destroys him in the rematch? Yes.
One thing - I don't like the title of the thread as he's clearly both and they're not mutually exclusive.
