The world has become too sensitive.
Na normal talk from a hard guy especially in a combat sport.
Mike Tyson used to be worse back in the day with words like "I will f**k you till you love me"

Dropping him over that comment was stupid.
It shows the brand is being run by Simps.

Do they expect him to change just because of their endorsement? Nah.
Even if they don't lose sales, they can't control him with their money.

Don't worry, he will surely get endorsements from global brands who are comfortable with such comment afterall they are not all run by Simps.

He should have said "I will fucking murder you" instead and he would have kept the sponsorship.

No emotional intelligence.The greatest battle one must win is the battle against self.James said the tongue,small as it is,has the power of life and death.He flippantly made that statement.With hindsight- which is a miserable judge- he would be beating himself.Just as Basketmouth infamously too made a flippant joke about rape, Adesanya didn't learn from this.Rape is a very serious issue of this age.

Why still fighting if he's contented with his achieverments?

Mind you there are millionaires and billionaires on this forum .
well said there are many millionaire's and billionaires here but I'm 100% sure you're not thousandnaire. I can see u are a secondary school student, for asking why will still be working if he's a millionaire, u can also ask Bill Gate and Elon why they are working when they billionaires.

In Yoruba term, not Nigeria!

It seems they are one of the groups of male who take rape as their right.

Some ethnic groups in Nigeria need to work on their perception when it comes to rape.

You're just another victim of the subtle mechanism used to silence people especially celebrities.

The powers that be clearly want to always control everyone especially celebrities.

Israel's popularity is not only because of his fighting skills but also his freedom to say whatever he wants as long as it's not overboard.
Yes, the rape comment was a sensitive one, it doesn't make him a rapist. It's just the same as saying "fck you!"

He however after all the backlash has apologised cos we live in a generation where it's almost impossible to say anything cos everyone is emotional these days.

You can't even call some gay without being labelled homophobic.
Even transgenders have more rights now than straight people in the US.

BMW is being stupid as a brand for dropping him for that comment. They think other brands will follow suit.
But it only shows they never knew him from the get-go. So theirs was a mismatch.

Israel will continue to have his freedom to talk trash and bash his opponents.
Imagine saying a rapper is not allowed to curse on wax.
Rap itself is mostly cursing.

I support BMW on this and I applaud them for making sure they protect the millions of men and women that have been raped. It is not a joke. It is a sad reality that sometimes money doesn’t buy class.

The guy did some sexual stuff in his last match he won as well ...do you but allow others to do them

Israel is yet to realise that he is now a star and everything he says is taken very seriously..

Hopefully he has learnt his lesson and would no longer be flippant in his remarks again .

Ghostrye:
He was taken out of context

Are you that he taken out of context? The fight he had with another fighter last time where he won, he actually demonstrated fvcking the guy and it generated debates online.
