Official Apology to Pat Miletich and WAMMA

Last night I made a post that I considered to be a satirical news story and meant to be comedy and not taken as fact. Unfortunately maybe I didn't make it clear enough that the post was meant as satire. So I am providing a link to that post in question and am posting this disclaimer about that story to clarify and hopefully clear up any confusion over my post.

Here is the link to my previous post:

At the request of WAMMA I the writer mattman73 would like to apologize for any confusion this post may have caused. I made an attempt to write a satirical piece of comedy and it is my understanding that even though I stated in the last sentence it was satire that some people may not have realized it was comedy. The statement I attributed to Pat Miletich about suggesting the rule change to WAMMA's rankings policy was totally made up on my part as an attempt at satire. WAMMA in no way changed their policy on their rankings in any way I tried to represent. Those were my statements in an attempt at satire. I did no valid research on this comedy piece and to take anything in this piece as fact would be a mistake. I do hold Pat Miletich in high regards as an upstanding member of the MMA community and am sorry if I offended him. I am truly sorry for writing lame satire and for any confusion my post may have caused. If my attempts at comedy offended anyone at all I am sorry. Thank you to Bloody Elbow and I'm sorry for any trouble I may have caused for you.

I hope this clears up any problems that had been caused.
