    Fair. They're right to suspend him. He should apologize.
    Nah dog...If A white man would've put emphasis on the race of the fighter he just beat ? would be like "Why he gotta get specific and put emphasis on the race of the man he just beat?" "why would that be relevant if he wasn't A racist?"..I swear it would be different..and people wouldn't make that same case for him..

    He deserves it. Wasn't even a harsh punishment. Just asking him to apologize for saying something that was just dumb and lame.

    Tries so hard to be like Mayweather and just comes off as slow. smh

    Who knows, I just want to see the poll results.
    Like somebody said its not the first time he said something like this ..and since the sterling scandal every thing somebody says about race will be under the microscope

    Foul. He shouldn't have to apologize. Like he said, he beat the ? out of a "Mexi-CAN".
    Proof of this hypocrisy ?

    MFs keep saying "if he was another race...."

    If a Mexican said,

    "I beat the ? out of MexiCANS, AfriCANS, anybody CAN get it.",

    I wouldn't think he should get suspended either.

    You goalpost movin ass ngga....thats not what he said. He actually didnt keep it consistent across the board

    At no point did he say '? ' UNTIL specifically mentioning the Mexican he just beat.

    See in your mind, everyone else is being overly sensitive and PC. No. We're being logical

    B/c i 'll go 1 step further: if he would have said i'll beat tha ? out of a mexican, ill beat the ? outta african, etc...THEN u can say its equal

    But it wasnt. I gave u the benefit of the doubt at first but maybe u literally dont see a difference, which is sad b/c thats what white people do-comparin the use of ? to us usin 'ngga', they act dumb and ignore context

    Even if a Mexican said it exactly as Broner said it, I wouldn't give a ? .

    "I'm the CAN-man. Anybody CAN get it. MexiCANs, (I just beat the ? out of an) AfriCAN...."

    If you want to talk about context, the context is right there. He said it as part of his CAN-MAN ? . What did he specifically say to target Mexicans ? Not a damn thing. He would've said the same ? about any race if that's who he just fought.

    I don't even see the comparison between that and Blacks using the word ? ....

    "? " is a derogatory term. Broner didn't use a derogatory term. He simply said the race of somebody he beat. (the ? out of).

    Again, since you brought up context, how you gonna ignore the context in which he said it. Race 1, Race 2 (who I just beat the ? out of), etc...

    If he would've just fought a Black dude and said "I just beat the ? out of an AfriCAN AmeriCAN", would've been a non-issue.

    Broner wanted an immediate rematch in April but maidana said he couldn't do it Because he was having his daughter and mayweather set up the match with maidana in may and the rest is history.

    Buddy has no chill.. You cant disrespect Mexicans on a Cinco De Mayo weekend especially when their the #1 consumer of the sport.. It wasnt technically racist but it was racially insensitive, which is the best way to put it.. The few Mexican fans that he did have he just lost that night

    I can see how it was corny and wack, but racist? so he's racist against Africans?
    if i say i'm in a Japanese car, am I racist?

    if you were to single out or make an issue of race in a situation where its not a focal point then yes that is racist.
    like if someone were to say u know blacks jump higher than anyone else at a dunk contest per se. its not negative but its racist
