Understanding

Understanding: (Noun) Sympathetic awareness or tolerance.

It's been over two months since the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident happened, and since then everyone and their brohter has weighed in on the situation. But... Oh, wait! We still haven't heard what famous boxer, domestic abuser and rapist, Mike Tyson thinks!

When asked about Brown by MTV News this week, Tyson said, "It's none of my business, but you know what I say about that? I understand the situation. I understand passion with young kids.

"My personal opinion about that is, he's just a baby," he continued, with a tone of empathy toward the 19-year-old Brown. "He's just a little baby that don't know how to handle his emotions when it comes to a woman. And he probably hears this and thinks, 'I know how to handle my emotions'; we all think we do. But the fact [is], you look at this person and you might be crazy in love, but we don't know how to handle those feelings." (Source)

Well I'll be darned. Who knew, Mike Tyson of all people, was capable of complex, higher-brain-functioning emotions like empathy -- albeit misguided empathy. I mean, it's not like the guy was saying that he "gets O.J." or anything. Because, it'd take just a real lowlife piece of to say something like that.

More of the guy Hulk Hogan makes look good in comparison... And a baby!
