New York Times Features Yuri Foreman
April 3, 2008
Jarry Park resident, boxer Yuri Foreman, is the subject of a pretty interesting article in today’s edition of the New York Times. Here’s a snippet of what life is like as a practicing Jew and boxer:
“Foreman attempts to restrict his fights to weekdays.
If a bout lands on a Saturday, as was the case in June, he observes the Sabbath by remaining within walking distance of the arena. Wilson, his manager, said the sun had yet to set when HBO officials called for Foreman to make his way to the ring. He refused to do so.
“He pulled me into the corner,” Wilson recalled, “and said, ‘Please, let’s pray for five minutes.’ ”
I understand that some people might not care about this sort of thing but it’s a subject that is near and dear to my heart and I think that regardless of your faith it’s a pretty fascinating read.

Nobody gives a shit about this bum the only reason he is getting any press if because he is a Jew. Those of Jewish faith are the original “race card users” and this is just another example. I am just glad that the jews are going nazi on the muslims and not blacks because if they were I sure you and the guys on T.V would b e advocating killing all blacks.
