Jewish Glass Joe Loses Fast
You know, Glass Joe? If not, you need to brush up on your classic Nintendo games.
If you don’t see the resemblance, you should after he got crushed by Amir Khan.
I only refer to Salita’s religious background because this fight was being talked about as the Muslim vs. the Jew in some circles. Yawn. It’s more about money than anything else. And that is one thing Muslims and Jews definitely have in common. They love the money (well, so does everyone else I guess).
It’s really not been a big issue between the fighters, but it has come up.
His cornerman was hyping him up in racial terms: Salita “looks Russian, prays Jewish and fights black,” according to Jimmy O’Pharrow. Most bothersome to me, Salita wore the Maccabi Haifa Israeli basketball team logo in his world championship bout.
I know Khan likely cares less, but I can’t get over Israel conquest and colonization of Haifa. I was not rooting for Khan, but I am glad Salita didn’t win, because he’d become a spokesman for Israel to improve its public image, for sure.
