+1.at least he's honest.
too many parents these pump up their kids heads by saying they can be and do whatever they want. saying their special when they aren't. kids getting trophys for just participating and ****, not winning.
While I agree with your first point; I think your second point is an ignorant generalization. The older generation is always putting down the youth and though we are living in different times, there are parents out there raising their children correctly.
He pretty much summed you 90s kids up
How am I reaching? I was responding to what he said about "kids today", hence the generation comment. I swear some members on here have zero reading and comprehension skills.You reaching
This has nothing to do with generations. It's about the parents. People in the 1800's living in a cottage in Idaho probably was telling their kids they could be anything, but they really couldn't. Some people truely could be anything but that's few and in between. As a parent you need to steer your kid in the right direction for success.
was i referring to u or anybody specific? no. in the past, mike has been known to be a knucklehead in the media and thats why i wanted to help clear things up a bit kid.go ahead and point out a single person who alluded to anything like that? who said anything negative about tyson in here?some of u noobs may think mike is some dumb meathead, but he is actually very intelligent and wise. furthermore, i think hes spot on.
What do you even know about starting from nothing kid?
Because it's true?
If a kid is passionate enough to prove everyone wrong, perfect - it all worked out and he's where he wanted to be. But no need to gas up someone for no reason. When Paul Pierce was a kid back in LA there was some NBA legend (I forget who) who used to talk all kinds of trash to him and break him down mentally, look where he is now.

Mike's kids pretty much can be anything they want, though. They have every opportunity afforded to them.at least he's honest.

He pretty much summed you 90s kids up
Dumbest post i've seen on NT in awhile.
You're free to go.
Privileged boxer kids =/= all of us. Check your privilege.
Wait are there no poor 90s kids struggling for a better life?He pretty much summed you 90s kids up
yea **** was dopeMike Tyson has gotten so much better over the years of articulating his points. You all need to go back and listen to his interview with Bill Simmons on the BS Report.
I was kidding.Reaching.
If I said "He pretty much summed you (insert 60-80)s kids up" I would have rustled their jimmies as well.
Why wouldn't you tell your kids they can be anything they want though?
Of course they don't. I've always figured that in. The hardest rappers kid couldn't make anywhere near the impacting powerful music their parents have especially since a lot of that deals with where they grew up and how they grew up. It's pretty impossible unless the parents make a twisted effort to raise their kids in similar or worse conditions which doesn't make sense since most of them strive to make sure their children have a better life than them.
None of Mike's kids could step in the ring with the ferocity he did no matter what you think of the man as a person or what you assume the type of father he is.
