And like 90% of the rest of the world, Joey probably had no idea about Hogan's racist statements, probably hasn't even thought of the guy for a couple decades. Ridiculous to expect everyone to always be 100% aware of which celebrities they should or shouldn't celebrate.

Joey is a good guy who has been through a lot and be a pretty serious addiction and is just trying to help people. Sure Joey loves Joey but he gives back a ton, is extremely approachable in real life and donates a ton of time and energy into helping those less fortunate.

I freaking love that he calls out all the gym attention victims BS.

Especially the bitches that want attention cause they were looked at



The best ones are when they want attention because they "are being looked at" when clearly in the background, nobody is looking at them.

yea this was me...i never watched the hogan show so how would i know about that crap? i mean I respect Hogan not wanting his daughter dating a black guy, but you cant use that kind of language, especially on tv either.

but I didnt know anything about any of it until he died and everyone was saying good etc.

It wasn't from the show, this was a pretty big "internet story" about a decade ago where he made a sex tape with Bubba the Love Sponge's wife (at the suggestion of Bubba himself....yeah I know), and dropped the line about his daughter dating fricking n|ggers during that sex tape. The old website Gawker got a hold of this sex tape and for whatever reason thought it'd behoove them to release it to the public. It obviously did not as Hogan won a lawsuit against them for $140M (settled for $31M) and they had to shut down.

Because Hogan was an unapologetic racist. He didn't "need" to apologize at all, but felt it was right after learning about Hogan's transgressions. He's capable of humility, and this upsets people who aren't.

Oh no, the Hulkster was a racist. Who gives a shite? Does racism work in a transitive way? Apologizing because another person said something is weak sauce. It's not like the easily offended were ever going to welcome him back. "Yay! We love you again." Never appease the mob out for blood.

One man's "weak sauce" is another man's opportunity to learn and grow.

Letting the MSM damage your psyche to the point of seeing your fellow American citizen as a "subhuman" is weak sauce

What is there to “learn and grow” about? Hogan said some bad shite. His brain was also probably completely mush and now he’s dead. What are we accomplishing (or trying to accomplish) here?

Seems the goal was to bump a thread about Joey Swoll so people could pile on and call him a pussy for apologizing rather than participating in the divisive culture war bs rhetoric that so many of the people on this board live and die for

I'm calling him a pussy bc he's acting like it's his first day on the internet. You can't live your life calling out other people on social media then act like such a bleeding vagina the first time it happens to you.

He's a roided up bodybuilder crying about how terrified he is of a bunch of purple haired they/thems coming to beat him up.

Do better.

Is that why numerous black wrestlers he worked with have said that isn't true, even after hearing the quote that losers try to gotcha with?

agreed.

this is an example of one of the most ugly parts of modern American culture. The guy did a lot of good for bringing positivity to the workout scene and probably encourage a ton of people to get into a gym. All great things.

However you got people on all side waiting to jump on you for some bullshite that doesn't matter at the end of the day. Worthless losers with nothing better than to tear people down.

i dont blame em for saying frick off to social media.
