First ever televised Oscars
1980 Oscar opening. Johnny Carson hosts.
uh....pretty sure that a Punch is done with a FIST....a Slap is an OPEN HAND!
It was a slap with most of Smith’s four fingers. You could hear it. Maybe not a lot of physical pain for Rock in it.
No
Anyone who has watched even 15 minutes of professional wrestling knows that this was 100% staged. These are “actors”, not real people.
No, you’re wrong. And I know more than you can possibly imagine.
Too many of them have this belief that it’s perfectly acceptable to put their hands on and harm another person simply because they feel “disrespected.” If that’s what they dish out to grown people imagine how they treat their own children when they act up. Ugh.
I just can’t damn believe this. Okay, he gave him a sucker slap. The emphasis is on “sucker” not the method of delivery.
from Wikipedia:
A sucker punch (American English), also known as a dog shot, coward punch, king hit or one-punch attack (Australian and New Zealand English) or cold-cock (American English), is a punch made without warning or while the recipient is distracted, allowing no time for preparation or defense on the part of the recipient. The term is generally used in situations where the way in which the punch has been delivered is considered unfair or unethical, and is done using deception or distraction, hence the term ‘sucker’ used to refer to the victim.
Notice the reason the term “sucker” is used.
why post this crap!?? who in their right mind gives af!??
It’s not even worth giving a second’s attention to unless the wonderful Will Smith slapped someone like Lightfoot for not cleaning up their own people...
