This makes him sound very weak and insecure.

Yes i did, he's butt-hurt because Messi stepped on a shirt that looked like the Mexican flag... big deal. Someone steps on a rag and he's ready to go beat him up? Alvarez needs to grow up, there are bigger things for him to cry about.

Maybe, but i think have a little more sense than to get mad and make threats at some imagined national slight. Like good old Bill Hicks said, "I hate patriotism, I can’t stand it man, it makes me fucking sick! It’s a round world the last time I checked, okay? Y’know what I mean? In fact, that’s how we can stop patriotism, I think. Instead of putting stars and stripes on our flags we should put pictures of our parents fucking! Gather people around that flag and see your dad hunched over your mom’s big 4x4 butt, see if any boot ‘n rally mentality can circle around that little fuckin’ image."

Insecure and overly sensitive. I would expect a boxer to jave thicker skin.

It might seem that way if you don't belong to a cultural group yourself. A lot of redditors are zombie level consumerists with zero sense of culture, so they're not equipped with a frame of reference to understand things like family, community, blood, culture, etc.

You don't have to be a thin skinned nationalist to understand family, community, and culture. By blood I assume you mean some intangible shared national destiny since you already said family.

I don't think I agree with you. He's one man he obviously can't fix all of Mexico's internal problems, but he can defend his country's honour in a way he sees fit. I also love quails though, they're everywhere on my property and they're delightful animals.

You shouldn't lol. I know a lot of fighting talk is playing up for cameras but most of those guys are not thick skinned at all. Many remind me of high-school kids who would make drama at the drop of a hat.

Is he really asking for God’s punishment? I mean ‘he better pray to God that I don’t find him’ it’s like, ‘ hooh hooh hoorgh me monkey primate and sensitive and dangerous, God protect you against me. Hooh hooh God please stop me hoohooh hah hah hahm ! ‘

I'm on this platform mainly to expose myself to people like you, I'm not a typical part of the reddit demographic but I sincerely appreciate being challenged on my preconceived notions. So thanks for engaging with me, even though we don't see eye to eye.

He doesn't have to respect your country. It's part of his moral character whether or not he does. Just like it's part of Canelo's moral character to go around threatening people.

Find him ? Just go round his house if you're that bothered . He will probably invite you in for a coffee.

If that means that your country/culture thinks violence is a way of dealing with someone disrespecting their flag, then I feel there are much bigger underlying problems that need to be addressed.

It’s just selective outrage. That’s the problem. It’s like Americans that will complain more about an athlete kneeling during the anthem than the fact that 20 veterans committ suicide on a daily basis.

QUAILS! I’m in Southern Nevada so we see them all over too. I want to get a tattoo of a few of them.

So he’s looking for trouble just because Argentina beat Mexico?
