Well defending them all the time might not be right, that may make your arguments seem invalid and very biased. I.e with Anderson we had one group calling him a cheater, because why would he then had lied, so obviously he cheated. and another group saying he didn´t lie and just got caught unfortunately but he was kind of innocent.
The most logical answer here would be that Anderson took them because yes he needed them for his legs. Totally understandable. Many people said they would ahd respected him if he had only been honest and said this. This is very true, and would had been the best thing to do. However, he may not have decided himself, or at least been influenced, to give the "lie" a shot. If he was honest, he´d still had been banned. Thats a fact. So why not go for it and see if you can get through. A loyal fan here, knows yes that lie was BS, and won´t defend that. But they will also be smart ernough to think he probably did it due to his recovery. It´s very easy to talk crap about fighters, but if you get your leg snapped and have been caleld the goat. Many people that called him a cheater would probasbly do ti themselves.
We have to look at things objectively and logically, even if we support our fighters. We can never know for sure whos right or wrong. BJ may be lying i nthis case or being honest. Do people shit on him way too much right now? Yes definitely. Did he cheat and know about this? Maybe. It´s way too early to say.
A shame people either jump left or right so fast. The fanatically loyal fans are often idiots, and so are the haters, they kind of cancel each other out. So none of their opinions are really worth listening to as they are so biased.
Just my two cents.
