Kudos to the guy who mentioned Gabe Kaplan vs Robert Conrad. That was an indelible moment to anyone who saw it.

How could this possibly go to page 6 without any mention of the Reynaldo Nehemiah-Greg Foster rivalry?

What nonsense - of course American’s haven’t got the right of ‘free speech’.
Censorship and political correctness rules in the US.
Especially in those areas which should be promoting free speech, such as universities, publishing and the like.
Authors in my country, which is bad enough - if they wish to get published in the US, their work is carefully scrutinised for any politically incorrect reference to race, feminism and the like - before it can be distributed in ‘free speech’ America.
As far as race, female ‘equality’ issues and others I could mention, but daren't, are concerned - you have to tread on eggshells.

el g vs. gabe jennings
Hahaha. A picture of Gabe Jennings encircling his eyes with his hands, describing the fear he saw in the eyes of El G, was my desktop for quite a while after that happened.
The best part was that Gabe finished last in his heat.
