[brooks85]

good, now i dont have to feel so bad about not buying UFC ppvs since they don't support free speech.

Are you people retarded? Free speech? Go into your place of work and publicly call someone a f-g in front of your customers.

[Vaughany]

lol

That depends on the work place

i've had jobs where i've heard the word f\*g used in public and no one has cared then there are more prestigious jobs like working in an office for a corporation as an accountant then maybe it wouldn't be as accepted due to the fact they must follow certain laws within the work place which can be used to deem the word as a form of harassment.

Now this is the blood sport of mma where guys are getting head kicked into comas and ufc fans are half retarded former wwe fans and comparing them is apples to oranges. This is simply public relations being enforced by FOX and it's subsidiaries and by punishing the fighters for using certain terms like "f\*g got" and "tranny" they are protecting their own image from being labeled homophobic by LGBT community.

interesting point, but diaz is not an employee of the ufc.

he is simply a sub contractor. I doubt it's even legal for dana to do this. Nate was not working for the ufc when this happened.

[Vaughany]

probably small print in their contract. They work for twitter bonuses and stuff so when agreeing to that they are probably also agreeing to Zuffa's controls

[sideloaded]

yep but im convinced many things in the ufc contract are not legal. but if they are never challenged in court we will never know.

[Vaughany]

yes this is true. We need to get Pun to investigate it...he could be like Chris Evans in "Puncture" when he exposed the United Medical Group for using contaminated needles!

[Kermit]

When you can refer to an inanimate object has a "phaggot", that word doesn't have the same meaning anymore. Example, you are driving down the road and your check engine light comes on and smoke starts billowing up from under you hood and your say "You Fukking phaggot"

I have a groundhog that keeps messing up my backyard that I have repeatedly called a phaggot at least 300 times over the years.

I think the Gay community is just pissed because they are slowly losing that word.

[Kermit]

I agree that Diaz shouldn't have done what he did. I just think that word is used so much anymore that it has lost all meaning. How many times have the Diaz brothers called people bitches and nothing happened? That is another word that you wouldn't say in front of your customers, but somehow it is acceptable to call another man.

Virtual $. 1000, 10000 it doesn't matter what the amount is. We both use 5 dimes for odds. If you prefer another website then will we use that one instead. Bets will be place the day of the weigh in's after the weigh ins and using the odds as is at the time of the weigh ins.
Loser leaves town for 30 days. Step up or shut up.

So you're proposing a challenge in which there is no beating the closing line, line shopping, or basically any gambling ability whatsoever, just "picking winnerz"? I think Gabe is more suited to that sort of challenge though bro.

If you want to have a contest though, I'll be happy to.

$5000. We both send the money to an intermediary, we each then post our bets for the next five UFC cards using a fictional 100 unit bankroll, whoever has grown their bankroll by the most money at the end of the period is the winner and claims the other's $5000. You in?

that doesn't change anything that has been said. Keeping reaching.

[PaperTrail07]

remember...freedom of speech.....unless you have a job...then you are judged and sentenced

[MD]

Uh, yes it does. It's often part of their job to Tweet. It's how they interact with their customers.

[hobbesITD]

Fighters shall conduct themselves in accordance with commonly accepted standards of decency, social convention, and morals, and fighters will not commit any act or become involved in any situation or occurrence or make any statement which will reflect negatively upon or bring disrepute, contempt, scandal, ridicule or disdain to the fighter or the UFC

UFC Code of Conduct. They signed it so they follow it or get fined.

[Kaladarus]

The problem is that this is a very sensitive business. Dana White censors himself and only drop 2-3 f bombs every sentence. Nate Diaz and all the other fighters need to learn by Dana's example and conduct themselves more professionally.

[bubblebuttluv]

Remember when GLAAD used to be viewed as a bunch of annoying pussies who no one took seriously. Those were the damn days. Now all this LBGT shit has become mainstream.

A day and a half later, the event is midway through and you still haven't responded to my challenge. You little bitch. If you weren't going to accept an actual challenge, don't propose one, pussy.
