Apparently Rocky Was Not A Real Person And He Never Fought Larry Holmes!!!

well, yeah. i think that was his point - that because Joe was black, he has no statue. the guy's a civil rights activist. what else is he supposed to do? what else does he know how to do?

he's like a guy who owns a tape-deck repair business.

 

Ah...the true Scottish side comes out. First he calls me Jamaican on account of me being black and now this gem.

 

Jackson is an idiot.

U.S. has a Black President now and so he knows that he's no longer relevant. He has to now invent all manner of stupid controversy to keep his name alive.

All statues are useless, but Rocky has inspired much more people than Frazier

 

Also, they needed a prop for a movie.

 

Which they should. But he couldn't resist going off on some "Dass they one" routine. He should have celebrated Joe's life. I mean Joe inspired the film and worked, if I recall, as a technical assistant and got paid for it too. It's not like Frazier was ever all broke up over it. They should have a statue of both guys because Joe made Philly famous and so did the film. I guess Rev Jackson thinks bi-partisan is some sort of gay disease.

When you start a thread, I let it run to around 3 pages, then I click the "page 3" link, safe in the knowledge that your thread will be well off topic by that stage and that I can safely participate.:scared:

 

Statues of people who are good at sport, statues of people who are film celebrities. Yep, that's just about right.

:blackcloud:

 

They don't need no fucking statue of Joe Frazier. If they do that a statute would have to be erected for every great fighter in their hometowns after their deaths.

Where's the Joe Louis statue at?

 

Where you been, slut?:truce:

 

If there's not a Dan Marino statue in the middle of Florida's Turnpike then no one deserves a statue.

 

Oh so Dan Marino gets a statue in Florida but not Wesley Snipes huh?

Racist.

 

Joe Louis has an entire Arena named after him, and statues fucking everywhere. ::

Google is your friend.

I mean, he's not as good as Rocky, but he has been properly observed in many areas of the country.

 

When Mercury Morris gets a wing dedicated to him in a Federal prison, Marino will get his statue.

 

Mercury Morris already got a mention in that movie "Cocaine Cowboys"....

 

In his hometown, I believe. His son was there when it was unveiled.

Sly can't be expected to check up on these things all the time. God-Damned statue-erecters can be so under-the-radar at times. ::

 

I live just outa Philly and Rocky is definitely real and his footprints are on top of the steps of the art museum..I always hear him shout out YO ADRIEN! gs

 

:laughing:

 

While people have been occupying wall street, I've been vandalising statues. :crafty:

Do your bit.

 

I agree

 

Philadelphia is a shithole and it's people are the excrement filling it up

Philly really has 0 redeeming qualities whatsoever. "Shithole" describes it perfectly.

 

You guys seem to be a little harsh on Philadelphia. Philly cheesesteaks look nice.

 

WHat's your scene? Minneapolis? :crafty:
