I read the one in the OP. It only apologizes for the language.

It apologizes for the language and how its completely inconsistent with his beliefs.

I don't know what else you want, it seems like that statement isn't doing it for you. Which is fine, to each their own, but nothing about that statement came off as poorly done to me.
 
gaf, tell me Goldberg is a good person. I need to know it wasn't all horrible.
Goldberg is an animal welfare advocate and an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) spokesman, and has addressed the United States Congress in order to raise awareness of illegal animal fighting.[63] Every year, Goldberg also plays golf in the Jimmy V Golf Classic and visits with children in local hospitals who are undergoing cancer treatment.

make you feel better?
 
Americans, could you please translate this whole thing into European?

Is this like David the Hoff Hasselhoff turning out to be a Nazi?*

No, we in Germany don't love Hasselhoff more than you do but I tried to make it relatable

I do not like racist apologies that try to act like what they said was some freak anomaly that in no way represents what they think. It simply isn't true. You don't get to go on a huge racist rant and then try to apologize for the words you used without acknowledging where those words came from. I have no reason to believe that somebody who wished to use that kind of language doesn't hold racist views to some degree that is harmful. If somebody took that moment as an eye opener as "Oh wow, I never realized just how hateful and harmful my views are. I need to change." I could accept that. If that person was honest about it and sincere and wanted to change, I could forgive them for saying that and feeling that way because they want to change. If they just want to try and apologize for the words they said and pretend they just popped out of there mouth from nowhere, then they are just trying to duck the persecution in my eyes.

If he had some kind of massive change since 8 years ago, he hasn't really given any reason to think that there was a change. If somebody found out I gave a huge racist rant 8 years ago and I had changed since then, I would feel compelled to state that my views were racist in the past and inexcusable and how I had worked to change those views and will continue to change what still needs to be changed and show the progress that I've made and whatnot.

Most people have known for awhile that Hulkamania isn't exactly a model citizen and have had years to come to terms with it.

Now we know he was (is?) a racist to boot.

I'd be like finding out that the people behind all those Simulator games are puppy kickers.
 
Stuff like this makes me realize, when I have kids, I won't be able to tell them "Your actions speak louder than your words." Because in the social media fake outrage age, your actions mean nothing if you say something that people can tweet and act outraged about.

As an American living in Germany, I can say you guys love Hasselhoff way, way, way more than we ever did. I've stumbled across at least 2 different Hoff memorials and the guy isn't even dead yet!

But this is like if...uh..Klose turned out to really hate Jews or something? I don't think Germany has a direct comparison to Hogan.

Some people don't make big splashes when they make huge shifts in their personal beliefs. Should have he done something huge solely because he's a celebrity and that's some sort of expectation you have of celebrities?

I know I've come around on a lot of things over my lifetime, I don't go around speaking to these changes because why would i?

Again, it doesn't seem he could've done anything in the last near decade that would've swayed you. It seems like if he did, you would've just moved the goalpost to justify your viewpoint.
 
Calling it right now, Trump will show up 'unexpectedly' at the end of a future WrestleMania, and call Vince out for a billionaires challenge. He tells Vince to choose his best man to defend the WWE , and the winner gains control of the company. Hogan then shows up with an nTo shirt, and basically becomes Trump Jr. In his stance against latinos and blacks, and just plain doesn't give a fuck.

Yeah the WWE the is acting outraged now, but tell me Vince doesn't have this scenario running through his head as we speak.
 
He ended Bret Hart's career. Also believed his own hype backstage and was a jackass because of it.

The best one ever from Golberg:

He had a spot where he had to punch out the window on a limo but refused to use a pipe hidden in his sleeve to do it. So he punches the window, cuts himself about a half inch from cutting the nerves in his arm and is out for 6 months. lol
 
Booker T. Huffman

@BookerT5x

20 years ago I made a huge mistake by saying something I shouldn't have on National TV.


It's 2015 and the n-word should be eradicated from the English language in my opinion.


I am shocked by the statements made by Hulk Hogan. It's unfortunate, but that's something that he's going to have to deal with.
 
A quick search on Youtube shows the WWF/E has had a ton of rape, incest and racist storylines. Even fucking corpses, wtf?

Kurt Angle in an Angle with Booker T wanted to have bestiality sex with his wife, Sharmell. Try to guess the color of her skin. No, nobody will ever know if that was atrociously deliberate or just the writers being very ignorant about the word.
 
Business-savvy, clumsy in the ring, apparently a douchebag towards Chris Jericho (though they apparently made up at some point), but supposedly a nice guy in real life. Apparently he got pissed at Scott Hall for not signing a card for a kid with terminal cancer.

lmao, I got two words for you.; Happy birthday! awesome of Goldberg. the beginning was really sad. you don't see a big guy like him break down too often :(
 
lmao. People are actually shocked that a man is pissed off his daughter is dating a black guy? What country are you guys from? This is hardly surprising.
