curious to see how long before they politely ask Sean Strickland to stop calling people the hard got 50 times a presser. kind of amazed Disney hasn't said anything about it. I'm generally all for saying whatever. but I can't believe they are just letting that happen constantly lol. cannot imagine that happening with the n-word or any racial slur.

guessing that’s “f-ggot”

yeah this one. just kinda strange to hear in a press conference. i mean of course just saying the word pales in comparison to any number of people and places the UFC is either tacitly or openly supporting. but. to repeat: it's just strange to hear at a press conference for a major sport

Fwiw the UFC does brief their fighters on stuff not to say and not to curse etc but Strickland is mad as a cut snake and he's going to do it anyway.

Dana undoubtedly doesn't care but he's motivated by money as much as anything so it would take the big wigs stepping in to stop it and realistically if they're making money the big wigs probably don't give a poo poo either.

Who knows maybe Strickland will have some kind of awakening or get his head punched in by Duplasse and he'll go away for a while.

ya. kinda curious how many days/months/years we are from someone doing the Strickland routine with the n-word or any other racial slur. gotta figure a second Trump term does it. still at this very moment I would like someone very much to ask Dana what his response would be if that was a racial slur instead of a homophobic one.
