The George Zimmerman "celebrity" boxing match is off.
It was going to be a matchup for the ages, but the promoter behind George Zimmerman’s fight with DMX has K.O.’ed the bout.
Zimmerman’s promoter Damon Feldman has decided to forego “a lot of money” and cancel the controversial fight, according to his Twitter feed, because he’s concerned with hurting people’s feelings.
Feldman is taking the blame for the decision to back out I think the real reason might be because the opponent they decided on, DMX, threatened to "beat the living f--k out of him." And urinate on his face once he had done so.
After all Zimmerman won't get to bring a gun into the ring which is the only way he feels manly enough to face off against a black guy.
I actually decided I wasn't going to write about this if it took place, but now that it has been cancelled there are a couple of things I think are worth pointing out.
One is that, despite our supposed progress toward increasingly civilized behaviors, we still live in a culture that is willing to pay to watch one man beat the crap out of another. And let's face it, not many eyes would be averted if DMX had whipped it out and urinated on Zimmerman. In fact for some that would have been the best part.
Second there was no way this was a good idea for Zimmerman no matter what the outcome.
If he, by some miracle, won, it would prove that the skinny 17 year old Trayvon Martin could not have beaten him down and made him feel helpless enough to justify killing him with a gun.
And if he lost, well he would simply be some idiot who got his ass handed to him on national television and even his racist supporters would be disappointed with his performance.
Not only that but earning money off of the "fame" that he apparently has for murdering an unarmed teenager would anger even those who may as of yet not despised his fat ass and he would need to hire even more protection.
Like I said I am glad the fight got cancelled. However just between you and me, there is still a primitive part of me that would like to see Zimmerman get his ass kicked all over the ring.
I am not saying I am proud of that, but it exists.
