Why Must Mayweather Jr. Verbally Disrespect Pacquiao Online

Floyd Mayweather Jr. best pound for pound boxer in the world, however far from best pound for pound outside the ring. Earlier this week footage surfaced online with Mayweather Jr. verbally disrespecting Manny Pacquiao with talks about steroids, his heritage, his defeats within the ring and using profanity towards him, for who for what ? For months the two have been going back and fourth verbally, but not to this level of disrespect. Mayweather Jr. says he's on vacation and will kick Manny's butt, however not in those words when he comes back. Obviously we have all yet to see, as the mega fight everyone wants to see, has failed to take place. Boxing fans would rather see the two men, express their dislike for one another inside the ring, not via the media and/or Internet.

How In The World Does Roethlisberger Get His Suspension Reduced

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been a strict enforcer in terms of making players pay for their actions off the field. Two time Super Bowl Champion and former Super Bowl MVP QB Ben Roethlisberger is a repeat offender, in terms of getting in trouble with women. He's had several accusers on various occasions come fourth saying the quarterback had taken advantage of them, especially when they've consumed alcohol. The Commissioner intially informed the Steelers Big Ben would miss the first six games, this week it's been reduced to four games, rhetorical question : why ? Examplss have been made to the likes of Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson who missed multiple games in the past, including league bans and suspensions. I truly hate to make it an black / white issue, however why is that the black players such as Michael Vick, not saying fighting dogs were correct, he was wrong, get maximum punishment, however a repeat offender like Big Ben gets off easily with a reduced suspension. What does this say about the credibility of the commissioner. Ben wasn't slated to return until Halloween vs. Saints, now he'll return vs. Browns on October 17th.
