This article was just posted on Yahoo a day or two ago and is talking about legalizing MMA in NY. They don't really say much other than how it's always stalled in years past, mention the culinary union beef, and say how O'Reilly (NY's biggest MMA hater) is no longer in office. So generally, the article is there to inform those who are less informed (non-hardcore MMA fans).
And that's where my problem is... does anybody else read the opening paragraphs and get a sense that the author is making it out to seem overly brutal and animalistic? He puts in the quotes "Smash his face!" and "Knock him out!" but who the fuck is he quoting there?! Some drunk idiot? Then he's talking about how bloody the fight was and the "bloodthirsty" nature of the crowd and how the referee "mercifully" stopped the fight. I totes don't dig the vibe that this guy is laying on MMA...
And if anybody didn't see the link on the first word and wants to complain, here it is in normal Shertard-proof form http://news.yahoo.com/york-legislators-end-ban-mma-2013-195000703.html
