Marcus Davis, Dan Hardy, Homophobia and MMA

I guess he’s right that homophobia exists in all other sports and is kind of the status quo. It’s still fucked up.

Homophobia and sports still go together like a fist in a glove. It’s pathetic, and unsurprising. But all I take away from Marcus’ comments is that I don’t like the guy. I’m pretty understanding, and while I have some friends who are gay, I don’t immediately leap for the throat of people who are homophobic. I really dislike him for it, but it’s an unfortunate reality that needs air to be cured, rather than just screaming it back into silence with public outrage. The brilliance of Dan Hardy’s mental dismantling of Marcus is that he simply revealed a part of who Marcus is, and turned it against him, then let Marcus do the rest. But unlike in the real world, I can root for someone to fuck Marcus up. The most effective cure for homophobia is just time. Old fashioned attitudes take a generation or two to die…

It’s incredibly easy to take a moral high ground here. As if the writer has never wished death by some form on someone. Please.

Who really cares if Davis wishes another fighter AIDS. Its not like he can make it happen OR can he. Someone find out if he hates Magic Johnson.

The horror, the horror!!

I hope Dan Hardy dies of natural causes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tito ortiz also tweeted about finding out that his friend, (also an MMA fighter) is gay… it’s on the tweet tweet post, i’d copy paste it, but Im not on a PC.

Did Hardy really do anything that bad? He said “Photoshop?” and posted a real picture of Davis. Why hate Hardy? Hate the internet, they are the ones who ran with it.

But the fact that Davis said he wanted Hardy to die of Aides and not just die is also homophobic. It just goes back to the no longer accurate idea that HIV is solely a gay disease. It promotes the concept that gays and homosexuality is inherently dirty and diseased.

Maybe its a mid ninties thing but my friends and I joked around and complained about people and each other in the same horrible manor. I mean he doesnt like Hardy and thought about the worst thing he could say to him.

If Dana has a problem with the way his employees are behaving, then perhaps he should take a look in the mirror.

Marcus Davis cannot somehow make it so that Hardy gets Aids, unless of course he somehow can obtain the virus, and inject it (no homo) into Hardy… Btw, I hope my use of No Homo doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. lol.

Saying something isn’t the same as doing something… I think people need to take things with a grain of salt, and realize that not everything is literal.

And to think I used to like Marcus Davis.

And by that I mean, the cliched and stereotypical comments and opinions on opponents and games and strategies, etc…

As far as I’m concerned, the NHL is devoid of personality, and that’s the last thing I want to happen to MMA.

This is getting really stupid. Who cares. First goddamn Amendment. People are too friggin PC. They should all die in an earthquake, hurricane, car crash, tornado, or be struck by lightning. Or get herpes.

Because I sure as fuck don’t.

Frankly, I think Mir is very intelligent and he does an excellent job of drawing attention to himself and interest to his fights.

I personally don’t really see too much of a difference between wishing someone died of aids, or wishing someone died by drowning. The comment is essentially about wishing someone would die, the means of that death are secondary, IMO. I assume the reason why Davis chose Aids is due to the homesexual context of those pictures, which is totally crass I admit, but then, this whole thing is crass and obscene. In the end, Hardy is immature in his tactics and Davis doesn’t understand that reacting like this just makes things worse. It makes him look thin skinned and insecure with his manhood. It’s about time he got over Hardy, cause right now it is clear Hardy got into his head, so much so that Davis still feels threatened by it. Hardy beat him mentally and physically. Davis needs to move on, or else we might have to log his Hardy obsession in with the likes of BJ’s jealousy of GSP and Mir’s mancrush on Brock. Obsession, like insecurity, is not an attractive thing.

and if it does, I apologize. I kind of am afraid of bringing this up because people might get really heated about this but the whole issue with homosexuals within our society comes off to me as really similar to the same issues that other minorities have had historically. I hear the same arguments against gay marriage that we used against interracial marriage in the mid 70’s. Same too with allowing homosexuals within the military…its the same arguments that were used to keep segregation in the forces during the 50’s.

I was in the navy from 2000-06. We had an unofficial policy in our berthing. If word got around that you didn’t like blacks…you got to live in a six pack with five black dudes. Same if you didn’t like whites, Hispanics, or Filipinos. You learned to either grow the hell up and focus on the important shit or your life was going to be a living hell. If you were homophobic…well you got to express your views to the one open gay dude in the division. All 260 lbs of pure, pissed off anger by the name of Big Ben. Once saw him lawn dart (honestly that is the only proper way to describe it) a dude into a metal bulkhead for calling him a fag. And the division fully supported him in the same way we would support any other of us being slurred.

How would we view this if Hardy had Davis in black face and Davis responded with a lynching comment? Or maybe I am just crazy. Its a pet peeve of mine; the sacrifice of so many people in the military that have to hide what they are to protect their military careers. Again, sorry about getting off on a tangent and getting all over the top with this.

the davis photoshops were hilarious. the only problem i have with his aids comments is that he should have gotten some hilarious photoshops of hardy instead.
