Manny Pacquiao Banned from Mall Over Homophobic Remarks

If you didn't hear about it by now, Manny Pacquiao made it pretty clear recently that he doesn't exactly approve of homosexuality, at one point going so far as to say that homophobic men deserve to be put to death for their crimes.

Well now...not that it's a surprise, the first of what's sure to be many companies has fled as far from the boxer as possible, barring him entirely from the premesis...

Pacquiao is one of the biggest sports stars on the planet with all kinds of endorsements and deals...and even if he doesn't think his statement was tasteless, utterly disgusting and 100% inappropriate (which it was), he should at least be smart enough to realize that it was an extremely dumb PR move.

  1. Pacquiao and Obama shared the same
    feelings two weeks ago. He is now
    homophopic because Obama
    flip-floped?

    1. No. He's homophobic because he said gay men should die for their "sins against god." Flip-flopping or what Obama said has nothing to do with it.
