Yes, this is real. You would think that after being acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin, thus getting away with murder he would lay low. Unfortunately Zimmerman has proven to be somewhat of an attention whore and now he has signed a contract with celebrity boxing match promotor Damon Feldman. Feldman has delivered on his reputation for head-spinning matchups such as, Tonya Harding vs. a waitress by selecting DMX as Zimmerman's opponent. George Zimmerman will fight DMX, who happens to have enough demon's of his own to battle.
Details of the fight, which takes place on March 1st, will be announced during a news conference next Wednesday.
Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't watch this nonsense.
1. Watching this spectacle financially supports a man who gained notoriety by killing a black boy. Let me phrase that another way: the man who got away with killing a 17-year-old will get your money if you watch him on TV. You will be financially supporting George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
2. Watching this spectacle will ensure we continue to see Zimmerman's face until the end of time. Do you think the media will rest at one match? No. As long as there is green in the udder of the cash cow, they will milk it. One boxing match becomes another boxing match becomes more television exposure becomes a reality show. You know how it is. Do you want to see George Zimmerman on TV for the rest of your life? No? Then do not watch this match.
3. You will be financially supporting George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin.
4. The match is being promoted by Damon Feldman a guy who was charged with fixing celebrity boxing matches and promoting without a license. Do you really want to watch George Zimmerman win with a loaded deck? Again?
5. You will be financially supporting George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin. This point cannot be stated enough.
6. This is the most important point. By watching this boxing match, by giving in to the notion that George Zimmerman is indeed a celebrity, you are accepting the subtle message that what Zimmerman does deserve to be celebrated. By resting your eyes on the program for one moment, you are accepting that black boys who are killed before their 18th birthdays don't deserve justice at all, that their killers should be allowed to profit from their crimes. By allowing George Zimmerman onto your television screen, you are contributing to a world in which the death of a child is one soulless scene in a shiny reality show. One meaningless event on a path to fame and fortune.
