After losing the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year Award last weekend, heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury tried to take back all the awful antigay comments he made in recent weeks.
“I’ve said a lot of stuff in the past, you know, and none of it with intentions to hurt anybody,” 27-year-old Fury said. “It’s all very tongue-in-cheek. It’s all fun and games to me.”

The “fun and games” comments Fury was referring to included him saying that homosexuality should be illegal and that gay people are perverts and pedophiles. He also said he was a “real man” and a good “role model” because he’s heterosexual.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
After making the remarks, a Change.org petition calling for Fury to be removed from the BBC’S Sports Personality of the Year shortlist garnered nearly 140,000 signatures, prompting the heavyweight boxer to reply “Suck my balls!” to those who opposed him.

Now that he’s lost out on his chance at being Sports Personality of the Year, Fury would like everyone to believe that those homophobic comments he made just a couple of weeks ago shouldn’t be taken seriously. He was just joking. No, really. He was. He swears.
“I’m not a very serious kind of person,” Fury said. “Everything’s very happy-go-lucky with Tyson Fury.”
But this isn’t the first time Fury has tried to un-do the damage he caused to his own career with his verbal diarrhea. Last week, he kissed another guy (in an ironic way, of course!) on camera in an attempt to show he’s totally fine with gay people.

Okay. Why not? If he’s sorry and he probably really is, why not?

Tyson Fury is very sexy and I wouldn’t hesitate to give him a full body massage.

Go fuck yourself you self loathing asshole. Nobody cares about your stupid boxing career or your stupid ugly life.

He smooched on that gay fan and now he realizes he’s just banging around with the hangers till he’s brave enough to come out of that closet.
Girl, no thanks. Get help. Then come looking for redemption!

I think he literally might be the stupidest person on the planet

I don’t care if Tyson Fury is stupid. Stupid is sexy. The last thing you want on a massage table is a coffee-sipping queen with tastes in fine leather who stretches his vowels whenever he speaks. I want a slab of manhood on whom I can do the stretching, sweetheart.

Meh, everyone should ignore him.

Here today,gone tomorrow, Tyson.
…and even when I was reading about Yusuf Mack’s account for being in that gay porn shoot, I thought “Surely that’s the stupidest load of stuff a boxer could ever say”. Turns out Mr Fury made even Mr Mack seem college educated.
Congrats, mate. When you fade into obscurity, your legacy wont be about winning the heavyweight championship, but for offending whole communities as he could.

Sighs so tired of this predictable cop out of it being a JOKE.
These people are either naive about their own words or just plain stupid period.
Another insensitive heterosexual male trying to backtrack on their original bigoted comments whilst AGAIN coming off as bigoted .
