Evander Holyfield: Proof that homophobia plagues idiots

Former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield must be brain damaged from all that fighting because everything that comes out of his mouth sounds as mentally challenged as he apparently thinks gay people are.

As if Holyfield telling fellow housemates Liz Jones and Luisa Zissman on Celebrity Big Brother UK that he had punched a pregnant horse wasn’t bad enough, he also said that being gay is a “handicap” and “a choice.”The genius then added that homosexuality can be cured by a doctor. “What would be good about it?” he asked. “That ain’t normal.”

Upon his eviction from the Big Brother house, Holyfield was asked about his homophobic statements. Here’s his eloquent apology:

“I was telling one person my view. I do owe an apology for what I said because I really wasn’t talking and really wasn’t trying to talk about somebody, because I don’t talk about nobody. She asked me something and I thought I was sharing with her my view personally, and I forgot about everything. So I am going to make a public apology about that because I am sorry for anybody I offended in that situation.”

I would call Holyfield a heathen, but Liz Jones does it so much better:
