Want to know what caused all the uproar?  Well, in a recent television interview, boxing great, Manny Pacquiao called gay people ‘worse than animals.’  To support his statement, he later quoted a bible verse condemning us to death.  

Surely his God loves the fact that he makes millions of dollars playing the most dangerous, bloody, and violent sport in the world.  But who’s judging?  Shout out to Magic Johnson for standing up for the LGBT community.

I won’t be watching another one of Manny Pacquiao’s fights. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 18, 2016

DAMN PACQUIAO?! Why you gotta come at us like that?

Pacquiao is a conservative Christian, and is now running for political office in the Philippines.
