Mike Tyson is no stranger to getting punched in the face. The youngest ever heavyweight boxing champion has been scrapping his whole life, and he also possesses one of the most devastating right hooks in the world. Now 54 years old, he STILL possesses it.
Well Iron Mike hasn’t changed much over that time, the world certainly has. Back when Tyson was champ, social media didn’t exist. Now it’s at the forefront of how people communicate.
Anyone that’s dealt with a troll may agree with his summarization of social media… people just aren’t quite as accountable as they are face-to-face.
While we would never condone violence outside of sport, it is pretty frustrating when keyboard warriors come after you with free reign to say anything they want.
If you need further proof, just take a look at this interaction between a Twitter user and Paul Felder, that comically encapsulates exactly what Tyson is talking about.
Can’t argue with that. Well, you could online I suppose.
