I'm quite glad somebody has done.

If a news reporter using a rude name on TV isn't safe for work, it probably isn't, otherwise it is.

Does he? He's saying that's what other people r calling him. Just reporting...

He's a boxer. He's a major player in one of the most barbaric sports that our legal system allows. He's also a member of an ethnic group with views which, like those of Islam, could best be described as medieval.
So why the surprise that he airs an opinion that's a bit controversial and a few years past its sell by date?

I'm not sure that I'd call Christians an ethnic group but your assessment seems pretty spot on, otherwise.

On the basis of his views on women and his fondness for speaking in the third person he's outed himself as our very own Birdie Num Num!

I thought he was talking about him being a gypsy?

I think people surprised by what he's said know little about gypsies or gypsy culture.

I think he's actually quite a complex character.

I heard some boxing correspondent say there is a similarity to Ali.

Are you suggesting that all of those hours that I've spent watching my big fat gypsy wedding have been wasted?

I wouldn't dare to suggest such a thing...
