VIDEO : George Foreman Says Quit Grilling Hulk Hogan

Boxing legend George Foreman isn't jumping on the bandwagon against his "friend" Hulk Hogan -- and swears he's not a racist.
Foreman told TMZ Sports, ?I have known Hulk Hogan for well over 20 years. I do not condone the language he used, but he is no racist, he is a good guy."
Instead of distancing himself from Hogan -- on the heels of controversial remarks from years ago-- the ex champ went out of his way to verbally embrace him.
Foreman said, "He is a friend of mine.?
He added, "we have hung out together and we have even been in the ring together."
