Nah man, that video is already in the top 3 things I've enjoyed from my few years reading these threads (one of them being that time a goon handed Jon Fitch a photoshop I did of him). It was really well made too like Save Russian Jews said. You know how The Fight Nerd tries to be the "funny" mma journalist? Well he stinks and I wish you could actually be in that position. Please move out to the states and get a job interviewing fighters and making poo poo up as you go.

This is one one weirdly unfocused article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1093917-strikeforce-why-american-society-needs-ronda-rousey quote:American society needs Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. More specifically, millions of young girls need her as a role model, someone to look up to and emulate. Okay, I see where you're going with this but what a really weird way of going about it... not to mention terrible ways of structuring your articles. quote:Another point to make about Rousey is that she has the intelligence to understand how to promote herself, yet she never completed high school or went to college. This seems like another fact that puts her out of the role model category but, again, that's a myopic viewpoint. What quote:The American education system is undergoing a paradigm shift. No longer is a college degree going to get you a good or even decent job; degrees are swift becoming not worth the paper they're printed on yet the prices of obtaining them are constantly skyrocketing (some call this the education bubble). How the gently caress did this article go from Ronda Rousey as a role model to a critique of the American educational system? quote:Ronda Rousey is a role model that reflects this change in the world. Her success can teach children that they can find their own path outside of the decaying American education system. What the hell quote:Furthermore, Rousey's not-so-inconsiderable looks play a part in why she's a potential role model. She didn't obtain those looks through plastic surgery or some form of eating disorder. She is natural and her figure was obtained by simply working hard. Are you loving serious quote:America needs her more then people know; Rousey is the hero that American girls need right now, just not the one they're bombarded with.

Yeah, why should fighters who actually graduated from college then went on to be successful fighters be role models? I hate that article so much and whoever wrote it. I may need to quit reading this thread because it only upsets me.

It's super quiet, so I turned my volume up to 3 times normal volume, and then loud things happened. Also yeah, have one fixed camera and one roving camera, and make your cue cards, the overt phallus of the broadcaster, more firm and rigid.

The educational bubble is a real (if contentious) thing, but it doesn't belong in an article about Ronda Rousey. I think that article infected me, this post is written in the same stilted style.

OG KUSH BLUNTS posted:This is one one weirdly unfocused article: Seriously, what the hell is going on in this mess. He starts off with a perfectly valid point and then just kind of completely drops the ball. He specifically points out people like Kim Kardashian and Snooki that are famous for nothing and are shameless self promoters, but then goes on to point to Ronda's self promoting as an asset. I think this isn't really the greatest angle to go with right off the bat. Then out of no where he's talking about the educational system. He doesn't even mention that rousey didn't graduate high school, I only figured it out from a commenter. I would have gone with something along the lines of what Grifter said. Shes a rising female star in a very male dominated sport. She's hard working, tough, and knows how to promote herself as such, which is why she should be considered a role model. also, this was posted on bloody elbow and made me chuckle.

FrontRowBrian posted:bullshit. I had several rock solid sources who are right 99% of the time.. including within UFC. Even Dave Meltzer, on his site, said I was absolutely right when I reported it. Sometimes things don't go exactly the way they're supposed to. I'm not the first human being to be wrong about something. But you forgot ALL the times I've been right. Emphasis is his. Felt like this thread needed a bump for the most electrifying man in all of MMA news reporting.

And Vermont makes 46 (also DC regulates MMA, so I guess we're at 47/51?). So, to update, States that do not regulate MMA: -Alaska (no athletic commission, but MMA is legal and events are run regularly) -Montana (athletic commission does not regulate MMA, but MMA is legal and fighters must be licensed; licensing is mostly just a signed physician's evaluation) -Connecticut (MMA explicitly illegal) -New York (MMA explicitly illegal) Btw, the active Connecticut bill just passed what is probably the final committee vote by a 13-1 vote before it is brought to the Senate floor. If it passes the Senate it goes directly to the House and then the Governor. In like 4 months or so, New York might become the last state in the country where MMA is explicitly illegal.
