Must Be Addressed
Kelly supported: Revoke Claressa Shields' boxing licenseI am submitting this petition out of concern regarding the public behavior and conduct of Claressa Shields. While her accomplishments in boxing are undeniable and deserving of recognition, I believe her repeated involvement in public altercations, hostile exchanges, and aggressive behavior outside of sanctioned competition reflects poorly on the sport and the image of professional athletes.
Boxing naturally involves promotion, competition, and trash talk. However, there should be a clear line between entertainment and inappropriate conduct. Public incidents involving physical aggression, disrespect toward others, and ongoing social media hostility create a negative example for young athletes and fans who look up to professional fighters as role models.
My concerns are not based on race, complexion, or personal dislike. As a dark-skinned African American woman myself, I want to make it clear that this is not a colorism issue. This is about accountability, professionalism, and the standards that should be upheld by individuals representing the sport on a global platform.
Claressa Shields frequently presents herself as an advocate and representative for African American women and women in sports. Because of that, her public behavior carries influence. Unfortunately, the constant negativity, public disputes, and apparent lack of accountability overshadow her athletic talent and damage the positive image many women athletes work hard to build.
This petition is not intended to erase her accomplishments or attack her personally. Rather, it is a call for disciplinary action and accountability to reinforce that repeated hostile or aggressive conduct outside the ring should not be normalized or rewarded within professional sports.
Athletes, especially champions, should be held to standards that reflect leadership, discipline, and respect for others. Without accountability, this behavior risks becoming accepted as the example for future generations of fighters.
I respectfully ask that the appropriate organizations review this pattern of conduct seriously and take the necessary disciplinary action to protect the integrity and reputation of the sport.
Shaun supported: Revoke Claressa Shields' boxing licenseClaressa needs help and I feel this would be one of the many steps to lead her in the direction that would be better for not only her personal identity but her self image.
Preston supported: Revoke Claressa Shields' boxing licenseAs a black woman I find it upsetting to see how far from grace another black woman can fall under the watch of a so called man that"loves" her. I would rather her stop boxing for a while to work on her mental health and the loss she about to experience. To attack another over a relationship that is as see through as glass is diabolical. Bag behavior should not be rewarded
Tarynn supported: Revoke Claressa Shields' boxing licenseI strongly believe that Claressa Shields should face serious review regarding her boxing license due to repeated behavior that reflects recklessness, aggression, and a disregard for personal accountability outside of the ring. Professional athletes, especially trained fighters, carry a heightened responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner that does not endanger others or promote intimidation and violence.
When someone with professional combat training allegedly uses their physical abilities to intimidate, bully, or place their hands on others outside of sanctioned competition, it raises legitimate public safety concerns. No innocent person should have to fear being harmed by an individual who possesses that level of training and influence.
This is not about attacking someone personally — it is about accountability and protecting the public. Athletes are role models, and their actions matter. I believe appropriate disciplinary action should be taken before another individual is potentially harmed. Professional fighting skills should never be used as a tool for bullying, aggression, or reckless behavior outside the sport itself.
N supported: Revoke Claressa Shields' boxing licenseI have been a fan of Michael Jackson since I was a child. My mom loved him deeply, and because of her, I grew up watching his music videos, listening to his songs, and admiring the impact he made on the world.
What hurts me is how the media constantly ignores the good he did. They rarely talk about his charity work, the lives he changed, the messages in his music, or the love he gave to millions of people around the world. Instead, they keep focusing on allegations that he was found not guilty of in court.
People forget what this man went through. He was humiliated publicly, raided, treated like a criminal before he was ever convicted of anything, and subjected to invasive investigations that no human being should have to endure. Yet after everything, he was acquitted.
You do not have to agree with me, but I believe Michael Jackson was innocent, and I am tired of seeing his name dragged through controversy over and over again after his death.
At this point, I believe Netflix should be boycotted for continuing to profit from reopening wounds and keeping these accusations alive. If you truly support Michael and believe his legacy deserves peace, cancel your Netflix subscription and speak up.
Let this man rest in peace.
Maureen supported: Stop Netflix from releasing damaging docu-series about Michael JacksonI love Michael just as he loved this world.
I never had the chance to meet him in person because he lived in the U.S. while I was in Venezuela, but he changed my life with his dancing and songs. He made my childhood wonderful. His voice was always there at family gatherings, on road trips, and on TV. Although I didn't speak his language back then, his message resonated with me and inspired me to stand up for others. I know that one day I’ll see a world just like the one Michael dreamed of.
"If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change."
— Michael Jackson.
