Mine wasn't. He was celebrated for being an amateur boxing champion now he's a professional and pops up in the news where he's talked up as being great.

That's the American Dream in action. Claw, kill, and rape life till you "succeed" and get celebrated for it because you helped the plantation owner during your journey. That's the agreement. Favors for favors. There's nothing here for good honest genuine people.

Not American though. I'm from Northern Ireland and my bully was all Ireland champion at 15 and was even considered for the commonwealth games. Because we're a small place with a population of something like 8-9 million any time someone becomes successful at anything they're made a big deal of.
