Sports: Roy Jones Doesn’t ‘Know What’s Next’ After Loss; Serena Challenges Reporter: ‘Live the Dream!’; Texas Lineman Makes Racist Post Against Prez-Elect
November 10th, 2008
Roy Jones doesn’t “know what’s next” after loss. Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe can go through with his plan to retire undefeated, if he chooses, after whipping the formerly acknowledged best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing. Roy Jones Jr. suffered his bloody fifth loss this past weekend after Calzaghe beat him in a lopsided decision. Judges scored only the first round, in which Calzaghe was knocked down, for Jones. The fighter agreed with the judges’ decision, saying that Calzaghe hit harder than he’d expected. Some have urged the once-unbeatable Jones to spare himself anymore embarrassment, now with four losses out of his seven latest fights. “I don’t know what’s next,” says Jones. “I don’t know.”
Serena challenges reporter: “Live the dream!” Think it’s easy being Serena Williams? Well, let her tell you a thing or two – like she told a reporter who suggested that she play through an injury rather than pull out of the Sony Ericcson tennis championships, as she did this past weekend. “I think what I should do is make you work out, have a severe stomach strain and play for the sponsors,” Williams responded. The British journalist said he’d be up for the task, to which Serena laughed sarcastically and answered: “You really should. You should go for it and live the dream!… You know, the dream of working out and sweating and being questioned on your commitment to the game versus your love for fashion and Hollywood and really obnoxious jewelry and all that.” Williams says she once played through a similar injury for several weeks, but was more concerned that she fully recover this time around so she can start the new year healthy.
Texas lineman makes racist post against prez-elect. A University of Texas lineman has lost his spot on the team after suggesting that “all hunters gather up” because “we have a n**ger in the White House.” Buck Burnette says he’s sorry for the Facebook.com post, that he’s not racist and didn’t mean to be hurtful. “Clearly, I have made a mistake and apologized for it and will pay for it. I received it as a text message from an acquaintance and immaturely put it up on Facebook in light of the election…I have to be more mature than to put the reputation of my team at stake and to spread that kind of hate which I don’t even believe in.” Nice words. But isn’t there something kinda illegal about making threats against elected officials?
Yes, that is illegal!!!!! Or let’s say, It has been in the past.
Hopefully, this guy, along with other hate-filled rascists will have a CHANGE of heart and realize that we are all God’s children.
Get out of the past and come into the light!!!!

FATBELLY..WARTHOG…EXTRA LARGE..REDNECK.

yes it is illegal!! He should be ejected from the team and all applicable laws should be applied! They should not take stupidity like this lightly! And they say we’ve made such great progress as a nation…..when is it okay to say things like this about the president (threatening)…? Wooow!
As we have been taught by our parents we do not always repeat what we have heard nor read. This person should be removed permanently from this university. He is not a newborn nor a minor ,nor a child who does not know right from wrong. His actions speaks loud and clear and I for one DO NOT BELIEVE that he is sorry for the comment or forward texts that was posted But BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF HIS POSITION, NOT HIS SINCERITIES. Americans, if we continue to allow apologies instead of punishments this world would NEVER unite as ONE. I do not know this person nor his state of mind but if you can say or write these words in your mind U R just that type of person EVIL!!! If you are a RACIST in time your TRUE colors will eventually show. To all who know this person PLEASE think twice before being alone with this person. Monkey see but monkey DO NOT ALWAYS DO. Texas please pray for your state because there is TWO much HATE is your state. Where do you all worship? Who do you worship??? University of Texas hold this youngman accountable for his actions as I do. He has NOT learned from his ACTION. I would say this is a HATE THREAT on a ELECTED OFFICIAL. BUCK BURNETTE SHOULD SPEND TIME IN PRISON!!!! HE SHOULD BE A FELON!!! You think this is harsh, have a HATE THREAT put on your LIFE and see how you feel JUSTICE SHOULD BE HANDLED. I am a Person of Color and I feel that this COUNTRY has NOT put down their feet on these RACIST situation. You blind yourself to TRUTH and JUSTICE. We as Americans has not seen what next to come from a powerful Nation. A Nation that will put ALL COLOR aside for good. PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA has open ALL doors for OUR COUNTRY TO GROW IN WAYS YOU COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINE AND LIVED IN A LIFE TIME. GOD WILL PROTECT OUR 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and his family.
What an ??@*@*?. Serves him right that he lost his spot on the team. Now his ass should lose his freedom because yes, you moron it is illegal.
