      >TheĀ [Commonwealth Games](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/commonwealth-games)Ā debut of Idi Aminā€™s grandson ended in ignominy and disgrace as the boxer was disqualified in the third round for head-butting his English opponent ā€“ and then launched a bitter verbal assault on the referee.

      >Things then took an even more bizarre turn as Aziz Abdul, a 25-year-old from Uganda, refused to speak to a journalist afterwards because of what he had writtenĀ [about the tyrannical dictator](https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2012/jul/26/1976-archive-idi-amin-uganda)

      >ā€œNo, not you,ā€ Abdul told the man from the Press Association. ā€œI donā€™t like you.ā€ A Ugandan team official quickly clarified: ā€œIt is because of the things you said about his grandad.ā€

      >Amin is estimated to have killed half a million people in Uganda after coming to power in a coup dā€™Ć©tat in 1971, and also forced the expulsion of 80,000 people of Asian descent.

      >However, Abdul insisted before his super-heavyweight fight with the 21-year-old Damar Thomas from Kilburn that his grandfatherā€™s achievements ā€œhad inspired meā€ and ā€œI am so proud of himā€.

      Dude came up with like *one* sociological theory his whole life and now he’s coming up with nonsensical examples to justify it. This is the intellectual side of the alt-right guys

      What he’s saying here is “Libs refuse to bully kids whose parents give them stupid names, and that is bad for some reason”, and now he gets to be profiled in the Washington Post

      I’ve never heard of any lib praising a parent for naming their child Tragedeigh
