Making racial slurs is illegal in Australia

If he gets countersued, it will be hilarious because every move he makes turns to shit.

Calls Brazilians animals - gets police escort and stays up all night in his hotel on watch duty because he realizes his life is in enough danger that he literally cannot trust the police outside his hotel door enough to go to sleep because they might be overpowered

Calls Werdum an animal - gets a boomerang in the face, walks backwards while taunting and hiding AND THEN RUNS TO POLICE!

Runs to police to press charges - only to find out he's in a country where he may have committed just as bad a crime and might be countersued.

Disses Jon Jones for publicity - Jon says "your mama liked me good enough - tell her hi" - talk about SONNING.

Agitates for a title fight - nobody cares and now nobody even takes the guy seriously enough to really get him into position for a title shot. He's more entertainment than sport - overnight.

This guy Colby just keeps taking Ls and he can't find the way to make this work for him. Probably the p4p worst heel/trashtalker in the history of the sport. Everything he says makes his circumstances worse!

Great post

Great post

This guy's got the reverse of the midas touch. It's a mudslide or shitshow touch. He literally just keeps digging his hole larger and larger.

Advocating for a title fight? Now??? In the midst of this shit?? He's absolutely nuts this guy. I'm starting to like this shit.....

Would Colby be charged with racism for calling these people "dirty animals"?

Cliff Notes for Those Still Unable to Understand: Brazilians are not a race.

If they aren’t american they aren’t white. Only american and european caucasians are real white people. Latin americans with green or blue eyes are just lightskineed mexicans!!! Even if they aren’t even from Mexico. Every body knows that!!!

No, you don't need a video tape, but you do need evidence of some kind. You don't have any at the moment. 'Werdum said it!' doesn't qualify.

'wait for it' That's what you should do before acting like Werdum's version is the gospel truth.

yes you do need some kind of evidence.and current there's no direct evidence.but do really need it to know that Colby callled werdum a filthy animal?the tape even showed Colby is saying "something" to werdum(before he throw boomerange).colby already called Brazilians filthy animal.

Colvington is as if the worst attention seeking Shertards and Angela Magnana manifested itself into an MMA fighter... If it was 100% Shertard then Colby would be 6'10 285 lbs

 

[Roljo]

LOL @ making words illegal. Pussies.

Lol at making what werdum did an assault

 

[AndroidRage]

its not racist technically, but as australian i know that saying anything that doesn't conform to leftist ideology is going to be called hate speech. We don't have a bill of rights or a constitutional right to freedom of speech. Technically hate speech is illegal but the law is so ambiguous. I dont condone what colby did, him and werdum should both just have to clean up some rubbish in the city or some shit and promote the fight while doing so.

This is actually surprising to hear. A friend of mine stayed in Austrailia years ago for half a year. He said theu let the N word fly pretty often.

 

[Hostile1]

Would love to see these beside-the-point technicalities tried in court.

"Well since it's not RACIST and only attacking the whole country and all the people in it, it's not hate speech....."

I'm sure the judge will throw out the case because Brazilians are not a race. it literally wouldn't matter if the charge is hate speech.

You could say Hitler wasn't racist too because Jewish is a religion not a race.

But this is splitting hairs and missing the point. The court won't go more lightly (or heavily) because it's not technically a "race".

C'mon Sherdog.....

....sigh.....

I'm so thankful to live in America. We have so many faults and failures you could write a 10 book novel and it wouldn't cover them all. Even so, I'm free to say what I want without persecution by the neo fascist left and people like you who want to have people jailed for saying things that hurt the feelings of racial minorities. We can never let people like you win. You will literally see us to our doom.

Did I say I want to see him jailed because he hurt ppl's feelings???

I said I'd LOL if he ended up in jail because it's funny! Huge difference. All I said in what you quoted was the technicality of "Brazilian is not a race" is no more relevant than "Jewish is not a race" when you're being charged with a hate crime. Did I say I agree with ppl criticizing Israel being extradited for trial in foreign lands? No.

Did I say saying the f bomb or calling Werdum a filthy animal hurt my feelings and I want him punished? No.

I said he's FUCKING HILARIOUS and if he goes to jail I'll lmfao!

I hope you do too!

There is nothing funny about someone being jailed over what should be protected speech. You have the intellect of a cucumber. We need a dislike button on this forum.

Cliff Notes for Those Still Unable to Understand: Brazilians are not a race.

There's whites in almost every latin american country, including Mexico. You don't think people talking about "dirty Mexicans" and such are being derogatory, or that they're not exactly considering that Mexicans are more than one race?

TBH, being racist doesn't have to mean you have a broad definition of race, you just need to consider THEM not part of your OWN race. Whether that's Anglo-Saxons vs Irish and Latins, or Germans vs Poles, or Serbians vs literally everyone around them.

Racism can take many forms, including claiming a certain race to be a completely different race or impure through race-mixing, even if there was no race-mixing. Like i said, you just need to consider them not of your own race.

I had a filthy Brazilian GF for a while. She was awesome. Brazilian people are awesome. I have had the good fortune to know many.

Australia is a very racist country white supremists go around attacking minorities over there all the time

Not sure if serious but if so you're a fucking idiot.

You're so wrong. And you have the sense of humour of a funeral.

Just type your dislike and fuck off and let me have my FUCKING LAUGHS, asshole!

I don't know about white supremacists, but racial attacks against Asians is very common in Australia.

 

[12ga.]

Kolby "Klan" Kovington Already got his. Maybe he'll chill. Running to cops about hate speech is bitchmode as if you get popped by a boomarang.

Cliff notes for Americans who think the American Constitution applies in the civilized world: national (and ethnic, religious, racial etc.) groups are protected groups under most countries' hate speech laws.

I posted a link in another thread that highlights the in accuracies within our media. The writer highlights how many of these assaults come from non white identifying(what a ridiculous term) people. Of course this article was never reported on as it may upset the people with their heads up there own arses.

Given the language they have used in the past to discribe homosexuals, I think it would be only fair for them both to try to be better men, kissed, and made up.

Pretty sure "pressing charges" isn't thing here. If I smack you in the chops even if I don't want anything to "press charges" you still get charged for breaking the law.
