Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Dude, Its a made for TV boxing match and his opinion came from it so I made a joke. Sorry if I dont study each individual's backstory. This is the internet and you guys really love making an anonymous forum personal.
Sometimes a joke is just a joke. But you guys want to wave your moral superiority over me, that's fine. Let me tell you declaring war on every little thing someone says gets tiring. Next time you watch a movie with a fat joke in it are you going to turn it off and write the director a letter?
I think that's exactly what they'll do. No sense of humor, lauds their false moral superiority over people because they feed on outrage. They need it to survive.
Nah that neckbeard wanted to "I can't even" boxing. They can take that somewhere else.
Oh, I'm not an admin. I'm not removing his ability to say what he said. Likewise to the whole "people are entitled to their opinions" tripe; nobody is deleting opinions.
But I think you're confused. I'm "attacking" someone being negative and shitting on boxing. They're doing the "I don't even get rap, country suckkksss" thing. You know, where you don't like something other people like so you pretend it's utterly bizarre and alien. Like what you're describing. The behavior you think should be taken elsewhere.
This comment thread is like a boxing match, I like it
I agree with you. It's like saying "sportsball" in a condescending way. He was being dismissive when he said I don't get how it is entertaining in the first place.
I don't know dude, people have been fighting other people, for sport, for fucking thousands of years, but you don't understand the "idea of it being entertaining."
That is straight up, deliberate obtuseness. I am not really a boxing fan, but I thought your response was warranted.
