Real Life Heel Turns: Manny Pacquiao

Remember growing up as a kid and seeing Shawn Michaels throw Marty Jannetty through the barbershop window? Remember when Hulk Hogan went to the dark side and teamed up with the Outsiders to form the NWO? Remember when Rico killed Mitch? When you thought the good guy was a stand up dude, only to find out that he was a bad guy all along. Well that's called a "heel turn" in professional wrestling. The other day we witnessed a real life version of a heel turn.

As most of you know, recently President Obama said that he supported the movement for the rights of homosexuals to get married. Very risky move for the president in my opinion. For the most part a lot of famous people agreed with Obama and happy he said it, superstars such as Lady Gaga and Jay-Z have all agreed with Mr. Obama's stance. However, professional boxer aka Filipino Jesus himself Manny Pacquiao had a completely different stance. After first quoting verses from the Book of Leviticus, he then said this gem of a statement:

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

 Now I realize that the man is a firm believer of the Christian faith. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Good for him. But my nigga...this is up there in one of the stupidest things I've ever heard a celebrity say. You went to one of the most loved boxers in the world to go out a say this just doesn't make any sense to me. I wouldn't be shocked if he lost all his American endorsement deals that he had. And you guarantee you lost any gay boxing fans you had at all.

Now if that fight with Mayweather ever happens (which I doubt), Manny might just get booed out the MGM. And I wouldn't blame the crowd at all. It's one thing to say you don't agree, that's your opinion that's fine. But put to death my nigga? That's a little extreme. But I guess if you're gonna go heel, you gotta go all out. This was the verbal version of Shawn Michaels throwing Jannetty out of the window. Manny threw his fan support right out the window.
