Haha, yeah, it's certainly an odd way to be a spectator, but tbqh since the early-10s I've pulled away from live-watching content across all sports. Having a crack-ping "oh, these industries are exploitative as hell, and sexual/physical/emotional abuse are baked into the adolescent elite leagues" realization started the process.

One of the reasons I started watching mma instead of hockey is the somewhat less toxic masculinity and presumably lower rates of CTE making me feel slightly less guilty.

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:

It would be extremely easy for him to say "I want to be the first champion training in Africa" if that's all he meant. He didn't.

Yes of course his comments were problematic, and he did walk them back although probably he should have more explicitly apologized. My point is just that we should assume generally that all mma fighters are problematic.

Yeah I didn't wanna click but was he saying the judge scored against him because they were trans, or they were trans because they scored against him?
