Jewish wrestler attacked media group while promoting upcoming Ring of Honor fight.
Professional wrestler David Starr said he was forced to delete a promo video for his upcoming fight in Israel after he was highly critical of the “far-right wing extremist corporate propaganda machine” Sinclair Broadcast Group company.
“Ring of Honor Wrestling is a stalwart of pure, professional wrestling in an industry that is monopolized by [air quotes] sports entertainment,” Starr said in the video which is still hosted by Pro Wrestling Sheet. “And their standard bearer Jay Lethal is the man that I’m wrestling. But no, I’m not wrestling you, am I Jay? I’m not wrestling you — I’m wrestling [Lethal persona] Black Machismo.
Starr then goes on to further attack Sinclair, which owns ROH along with a total of 193 stations across the U.S., dismissing suggestions that the conglomerate is doing him a favor by getting him to wrestle in Israel. “You’ll have to wake up to the fact that your championship is now represented by a progressive Jew named David Starr.”
It is unclear who asked Starr to take down the video, or it was a pre-planned move to help promote the fight.Sinclair Broadcasting, the largest television station operator in the U.S., has been criticized for using its vast network of local news outlets to push right-wing agendas, including making its news anchors read near identical scripts.
