Haha how did Costa get involved.
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.
Ok.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.
Uh when that one outrageous statement is that Hitler was cool and did the right thing yes, yes it is.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.
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.
These are mma fighters, man. Who GAF what they say as long as it s not illegal?Uh when that one outrageous statement is that Hitler was cool and did the right thing yes, yes it is.
In many countries, saying that IS illegal. There are anti nazi laws in the EU and Australia and NZ. No, you gotta draw a line somewhere. Nazis are the line.These are mma fighters, man. Who GAF what they say as long as it s not illegal?
Yeah some people should have their mouths sewn shut.This site is proof that not everyone in the world should be allowed to voice their opinions and should shut the fuck up forever.
At least those guys aren't stupid enough to say outright that they'd go fishing with Hitler "before the meth." And what the fuck is he talking about with meth?Just another dumb fighter trying to talk about politics, he's the same as 99% of Brazilians fighters who are all friends and propagandists for a bunch of Nazi symsympathizers
