Stop posting the vid of fat kid slamming the skinny kid

[Matt]

The rules state no streetfight/beatdown vids, plus I've already delete like 8 of these things just this morning.

You will get dubs if you post it and the thread will just get deleted anyway.

Thanks,
Matt

Who do we got to email to change this rule. It's kind of weird considering all the fight discussion and titties going on.

That's like a forum dedicated to Basketball saying they aren't allowed to post pick up games.

Yeah, plus Matt you are the mod of the P&Ms, you could just leave them up and have the rule changed that way. If they're posted enough it'll just naturally become par for the course.

Just go to 4chan, you'll see the vid on every page on every board for the next week.

I don't see that happening. The site is dedicated to a professional sport, not dedicated to posting vids of some dude getting curb stomped by 5 guys in front of a McDonalds. That's actually something we want to avoid being associated with if we're trying to develop the legitimacy and credibility of the sport. We're trying to distance ourselves from the human cockfighting and untrained street brawler stigma type stuff.

I think I remember that video.

The skinny kid was some MMA fighter wannabe with SPRAWL shorts and tried to pull guard on the fat kid. The fat kid just fell on top of him and the skinny kid got KTFO.

I dont think it was recent, Im not sure if its the same video

edit: Nevermind wrong video

This is just a sub-forum of Sherdog, nothing posted here will either bring us closer to legitimizing MMA or have any effect on the credibility of the sport. You're taking it a little too far here and putting too much importance on this forum.

It's fine though, vorpal is right. That's just my 2 cents.

Well I've never seen this fat guy slam you are talking about, and I can understand not wanting to post some American History X curb stomp, but-Cheeseburger Josh and "Say Goodnight" and Epic Beard Man were a bit of a different story.

Especially "say goodnight" since it was a mutually agreed upon thing.

You can try to spice it up but MMA is just two guys getting in a ring and fighting each other. Diego's face was a lot more graphic than Cheeseburger Josh.

This kind of attitude plays right into the hands of the anti-mma press/lobby/whatever. In general, not necessarily regarding this topic.
Allthough it seems kind of ridiculous to me in this particular case, seeing all the other threads about pornstars, fat asses, tits and all the insulting going on everywhere on this forum.
