    I think lots of comedians are racist. There's lesser degrees of racism than stringing up black people from trees.

    That said, Dana's comments (in context) don't rise to the level of the HMC one.

    referring to Hong Man Choi as "Long Duk Dong."

    How is that not hilarious?

    Hilarity and racism aren't mutually exclusive. Lots of racist stuff is hilarious - Chappelle's Show, Chris Rock, Blazing Saddles, etc.

    People thought Chael Sonnen's comments were hilarious too. And Muhammad Ali's against various opponents.

    I disagree only for my opinion that you can make a funny comment about race or make a humorous observation about race (the Long Duk Dong example since all of those could be legit names of someone who is Mr. Choi's race like you could call someone Dick Harry Cox) and not be an actual racist (ie someone who feels that other races are inferior/bad/whatever based upon their racial background)

    If we could combine Dana White and Chael Sonnen trolling would reach an apotheosis

    Dana White is such a complete tool. As much as Fedor drew me to the sport due to his sportsmanship, demeanor, and humility, Dana White has the exact opposite effect. I hate that guy because he makes me NOT want to keep up with the sport.

    Someone just tweeted Dana that Cain is his overrated gardner.

    See, now that's racist.

    I can't hate Dana at all. He's right about the piss poor management and hey it's 2AM on a saturday night and he basically just made an enormous payday.

    May as well put on the troll face and strut through the internet.

    Exactly. See this:

    dana5.jpg

    That's a multi-millionare who runs a huge global company who says whatever the fuck he wants. That's fucking MAMMOTH balls right there. Huge giant massive sack on that guy. He has said more tonight than any president of any big company has ever said and I respect the hell out of it.

    It's totally cool if anyone finds what he says offensive or whatever. Everyone is entitled to decide what they think is proper and not proper, but to me, good for him for being who he wants to be. Dana White is Dana White. I know where that guy stands at all times and I know how he feels. The only thing he gives a fuck about is his company being number 1 and fuck everyone who disagrees.

    Can we all agree that we respect that he sticks up for his point of view and his company?

    hm

    so just about every dominant force in MMA from when I first started digging the stuff has lost their luster. If Kid can't pick it up I think i'll be down to. . .

    Shogun?

    He doesn't even use correct punctuation when he tweets.

    I'm completely with Metal Jared on this one.

    Now-a-days a lot of less informed people use the word UFC when they mean MMA. That's saying a whole hell of a lot.

    Seeing how the thread will soon reach a hundred pages, I propose that I make the next thread... MMA XIII DUN DUN DUUUUN

    Mostly because I want to give Fedor a nice front page tribute and I'm planning to stay up a long while tonight. For Fyodor ;_;
