Video: Tyron Woodley just claimed racism on ESPN

[MMABrooklyn]

Your putting words in my mouth and turning this into a strawman argument. You complain about white people not liking black fighters, then I give you example of a black fighter that has a huge white fan base and that's not good enough, because white people gave him opportunities?

Rampage found success, because he was a world champion and could sell tickets. He also has a charismatic personality. Tyron has the personality of a white teenage Mormon kid. That shit doesn't put buts in seats, but for some reason he still feel entitled to special treatment.

I'm done with this conversation, because you're clearly an angry racist Black Supremacist. I hope some day you can get the chip off your shoulder and enjoy life, because your current thought process has to be creating a toxic environment for yourself.

Now move along please...

Yet Rampage talked about all the racist hate he got when he KO'd Chuck.

I'm not putting words in your mouth. Just realize what you were saying and how stupid it was. My Jack Johnson point highlight that.

Now you're calling me a racist Black supremacist with zero reason to do so. Prove it.

 

[MMABrooklyn]

Just look at Anderson and how hyped he was to see the impact of style.

Anderson received hate as well. I remember GSP chants during his fights, hell I remember people saying the UFC would of been better off if Rich Franklin stayed MW champ.

As I thought. Don't let the door hit ya.

I call Bullshit on it.
You have very rich and respected athletes outside of the usual golf and tennis.In boxing,track/field and even in
Motoring.

The true is simple as this:

Stop looking for a excuse to cover your own bias and make the extra effort to become one of then or keep blaming everybody else for the shortcomings you created yourself.

Im talking about popularity.... dont care about rich, being rich doesnt mean minorities are respected lol. If you looked at the numbers i would suspect they would say they woulf be lower when looking at white fans of those minorities. Same way Hollywood narrows black performers oppurtunity, or the nfl does the same for coaching and executive spots even though qualified minorities are obviously in those sectors.

 

[I.Broke.The.Bat!]

This itw makes me cringe.

WD listens when Tyron speaks.
Tyron always interrupts WD.

And the guy speaks about respect.. He's a moron.

 

[lefthighkick01]

I went for Woodley the first time they fought, but my god you can bet your ass I will be rooting hard for Wonderboy this time.. Woodley's racism cry is getting old and his bitching too!

Most people don't notice deez tings but but if you listen carefully,when he blatantly lies about racism, he stumbles his words.
It's called Instant Karma.

 

[TGArthur]

He is right.



Until a non white fighters start selling as much as white fighters in PPV sells and become the face of the UFC......The UFC will be bias towards white people.

Until the NBA hires 5'7" jews as basketball stars, I'm claiming the NBA is anti-semitic

 

[Takamine86]

I don't know what the hell Tyron is talking about. Racism doesn't exist in America anymore. The whole world knows that, which is why they all love us and our cops.

 

[Hotora86]

This is how I feel about Woodley playing the race card, calling wonderboy entitled, ducking lombard, saying wonderboy's fans are clan members,etc.

sorry for being a casual fan but please remind me what fight that is?
Marquartd vs Woodley?

 

[Threetrees]

No it wasn't.

You idiot.

lmfao
etymology how does it work

 

[Lemmy]

They only gave the guy 263829134 second chances

 

[Takamine86]

I can't speak for the rest of the world but there is data that does suggest there is a correlation between the demographics of MMA/Boxing and race in the U.S.

This study was done on Americans in 2013 but in general, Boxing has been dominated mostly by Blacks/Hispanics for the last couple decades. The demographics of the sport reflects that, not a lot of white American boxing fans but many black/hispanic Boxing fans. In MMA, you have a lot of diversity amongst the top fighters including many white American fighters, and surprise surprise, the demographics of the sport reflects that as well. Most of MMA's fanbase in the U.S. is white americans. There are also a lot of other interesting statistics from the age of fans, sex, income, even how educated they are.

We try to pretend race is not a factor but it is, it always has been and it always will. But realizing and admitting that race is a factor is not to say we are all a bunch of racists. Sure, some of it is racism, but overall, it has more to do with the fact that at our core, humans are tribal. Our subconscious is constantly bombarded with cues that identify who is “us” and “them." If an "Insert race" guy is about to watch a fight, but he knows nothing about the two fighters involved other than he sees one is of the same race and the other is not, he is more likely to root for the guy who has something in common with him. That is the casual fanbase in a nutshell.

Lol
So this dude is not respected
Or this dude

Or that this dude was not one of the most beloved Americans until he got caught fucking prostitutes and porn actress instead of his wife

Or this dude a brazillian who became by his own efforts the CEO Renault,Nissan and Mitsubishi

Or this dude who became CEO of Macdonalds


GTFO
If they REALLY want they can do.
Fame
Money
Respect
The problem is that lately there is this idea that someone SHOULD be entitled to something because this or that or that put REAL EFFORT into something you want is waist of time.
Because..
"I deserve this!!"
"It should be me!!"
"I shouldn't be obligated to do that!"
"BECAUSE I AM SPECIAL!!!"

 

[Hotora86]

Tyron has a good message he is just delivering it in the wrong manner. Bringing up Jon Jones was pointless because Jones mistakes have been all on him and the UFC has given him several chances.

In a way, Woodley is smart for saying this. Now, people will be paying extra attention to their fight. There's no real animosity between him and Thompson.

They dressed them up in black and while to make a point too.

 

[Literally Bricked]

I'm sure all the guys spewing n bombs in YouTube video comment section against Woodley and black people had nothing against his ethnicity.

Also it does rile up people to pay to see him lose a al Ali and Mayweather.

I hope you morons still waste your money.

It really helps the cause to paint people like me in with those that you, me and Woodley have an issue with.

Ive always heard this bs spouted by people and its annoying.... well a few people who are minorities are doing well, weve made it things are equal.... BUT lets compare apples to apples, smart/educated black people with seemingly the same resume.
From same article.....“Black coaches are less likely to be promoted than white ones, independent of their first position, their current position, their employer, their prior experience, their education and their age,” the authors wrote in the paper , “Racial Disparity in Leadership: Performance-Reward Bias in Promotions of National Football League Coaches.” article.....

At work more stats to come on this so called "equality"
