Do Sherbros Hate Bryce Mitchell Now? I’m Conflicted.

[Luffy]

While it's a criticism fuel for valid reflection, the situations are still different because one is using a word that carries prejudice, the other is praising someone responsible for the mass persecution and torture of Jews, black people, gays... If Connor were praising some well known figure for the persecution of black people, then the backlash should be as reprehensible as this one.

It's curious though because I wonder how it'd be treated... McGregor had other despicable comments as well about Brazil in his Jose Aldo fight, saying if it were in other centuries, he'd be invading the favelas and killing them, and putting them to work... Which is a total lack of any thought to the suffering of Africans and Natives, the massacre that was the colonialism... Or Connor calling Khabib a Muslim rat, which is a word that carries heavy lack of consideration for how discriminated Muslims are around the world, and the connection the muslims feel to being a Muslim, which to them, is beyond a religion, but a connection and sense of community, of a meaningful bond between Muslims around the world...

Still, it can be argued, whether it's fair or not, idk, that it is still different from praising a figure that is a prolific one in the extermination of ethnicities... But I wonder how it'd be treated if there was a known ruthless past person who was responsible for the lowest bar on treatment of black people... I think the backlash, or at least I hope so, would be as strong and totally unacceptable as this one is... I think it would be, at least I like to believe it would be...

No matter the ethnicity, advocating for the thought of the genocide of human lives is worth of being fired from the UFC imo... Anyone that claims the Holocaust wasn't a problem or that it was fabricated, or taking away the historical suffering of Jewish, is worth to be fired from the job in serious places... As well as any ethnicity.

That sort of stuff will be normal and accepted going forward. The UFC during the 2nd Trump Reich is going to be something else...

He's a dumb guy who has some reprehensible views about certain groups of people. He's a xenophobic, racist, homophobic dullard.

 

[BoomStronk]

He's a dumb guy with a good heart. He is definitely NOT my boy. He needs to STFU and isn't smart enough to realize it.

Wrong. He's a dumb guy with a dark heart.

Donate all the money you want. Coming out and mixing a defense of genocide with extreme homophobia, while displaying a 3 year old level of petulance is definitively not "good hearted."

He's a hateful, ignorant contrarian. Not my boy, not a good heart.

 

[hogwash]

If you still think those little moments of charity outweigh the retardation that is EVERYTHING ELSE involved with that individual.. then I think you're probably as dense as said individual

 

[TITS]

Holy shit, I had no idea someone else already posted this. This song was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that podcast video he did. I posted this and some other AC songs in a similar thread.

 

[randomg1t]

The correct answer is he's a dumbass.

Not got a good heart, not an outright bad person either.

Just a dumbass.

the poll options are silly, but i struggle to describe him as anything other than an outright bad person.

donating money to a charity doesn't really offset believing gay people and jews aren't really people, or praising white supremacy and admiring hitler.

i don't get why people think abhorrent personal views are just different opinions. we can disagree on flavors of icecream, not basic human decency. if you are a nazi or a nazi sympathiser, you are a bad person period. i don't give a fuck how much money you donate to a hospital, your underlying belief is that the very hospital you donated to shouldn't help jewish kids or anyone who isn't a straight christian... which makes you a piece of shit.

pieces of shit can do good deeds, they're still pieces of shit. being a nazi kind of overshadows everything else you might do.

With all the controversy surrounding Bryce Mitchell right now, I have to ask—do Sherbros hate him now?

I’ll be honest, I’m really conflicted on this one. There’s no question that his recent comments about Hitler and the Jewish people were incredibly stupid, ignorant, and deeply antisemitic. There’s no sugarcoating that. He either doesn’t know history, or he’s willfully hateful, and either way, it’s a bad look.

But at the same time, I cannot ignore the good he has done, and I refuse to act like it never happened. This is the same man who donated his entire fight purse of $45,000 to help sick children after his fight against Edson Barboza. Not a fraction of it—all of it. That wasn’t enough for him either. After his fight with Dan Ige, he added another $5,000 donation to help families in need. This wasn’t some PR stunt. This was money he earned with his own blood and sweat, and he chose to give it away to help kids. That says something about his character that I just can’t dismiss. It’s easy to call yourself a good person, but it’s another thing to give away a huge portion of your income to help sick children. That takes real heart.

So, where does that leave me? I don’t excuse or defend what he said—it was unacceptable. But I also can’t just erase the good he’s done either. People are complex, and I think Bryce is a dumbass who has both good and bad in him.

I know some of you will say, “That doesn’t matter, what he said was too far.” And I get that. But personally, I refuse to forget about his good deeds, just like I won’t ignore his terrible statements.

What do you guys think? Do Bryce’s acts of generosity mean anything in the bigger picture, or do his comments completely erase all of that? Let’s hear it.

Shitty people can still do good things. I bet Hitler was nice to some people too. Doesn't mean he wasn't a scumbag or a piece of shit.

Bryce is still a piece of shit. Fuck him. Hope he gets KO'ed again the same as the Emmett fight.

When some reporter asked Dana about fighters like Sean saying homophobic and transphobic stuff, to points bordering hate speech against the group...




"Free speech. I can't give a shit what anyone thinks or believes. They're free to believe whatever they want. I don't give a leash over it..."

But then there's a barrier on free speech? That's when free speech is conveniently used. I mean, are there levels to hate speech? If anyone if free to believe whatever they want and Dana is fine with it... It gets into circles, as he either believes in free speech or he doesn't...

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Dude, he literally said Hitler was a good guy, and that the jews were turning all the Germans queer. Fuck Bryce Mitchell. This shouldn't be a discussion. He's a dangerous idiot.

Still I don t think that one outrageous statement should be enough to cancel a cage fighter. He s also not the spokesperson of some corporation. MMA is a cesspool and the issue is people giving a shit about what fighters say.

Where I draw a line though is the shit khabib said with defacing infidels after the terrorist attack in France. That s someone with clout calling for violence.

 

[WokeWarrior]

bryce is gonna be ok this is the right community and sport for guys like him.
anybody who says otherwise is lying. im willing to wager my life on the line right now that
woodley aljo izzy etc etc are way more hated overall than bryce could ever be.
everybody including dana is just doing this for theatrics. Bryce just said the quiet part outloud..
same with Connor.. just people please stop pretending and acting like you dont know where all this comes
from. have some dignity..

 

[Handsome Goku]

 

[DrRodentia]

Because Izzy is clearly doing dumb edgelord humor, whereas Bryce was not

 

[MigitAs]

Use your real account coward

 

[honzo]

He wasn't cancelled

 

[RockyLockridge]

Nah world isn't black and white like that he may be a misinformed bumbkin but he is a good person.

No. In America one bad sentence an you are burried for life.

 

[Karate Kid]

i cannot see why anyone would hate him.

more so see him for what he is. a peon provincial clodhopping yokel. its always these conspiracy types who think they have it all figured out and ironically are averse to gaining ACTUAL knowledge of things that aren't just watching you tube videos at 2AM down the rabbit hole.

one thing is for sure though, the sympathy he incurred against that brutal KO via Emmet, is most definitely gone.

Many people on earth tend to hate bigots. Bryce is a bigot.

Fuck him. Hope he gets KO'ed into retirement

 

[JPOMMA]

The issue with hating Bryce is that it makes us hateful, the very thing we are criticizing. There is already so much hate-inspiring and race-baiting stuff online all the f-in time (for clicks obviously). It’s all so tiresome.

Piling onto Bryce actually makes people like him stronger and it encourages others with similar belief to rally around him. His X followers went up by 16k. Does a tree really fall in the forest if no one is there to see it? Why not just ignore him?

I think let people be and just have understanding and forgiveness when offended. That should be enough. 99% of people on this earth just want to go about their lives peacefully and with minimal hardship, not jump into race wars.
