Former NHL Fan turned to MMA

[CB83]

Okay, so first off I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I have long been a hockey fan and player myself, playing at high levels but it seems as the years have gone by, my interest fades and fades.

Hockey has became pussified to extreme levels. There's all this talk about concussions, they want to take fighting out of it, they want to take big hits out. Basically everything. You can't watch a game or read a magazine without reading it and it pisses me off.

MMA hasn't really had that yet unless you consider the creation of modern rules years ago as that. MMA does have a lot of annoying cliche topics, Dana White and a few other things but for the most part, It's much more exciting. To me, it represents everything that modern liberal pussified society is against. It's one of the last masculine things that still exist and it's real.

Anyone else feel this way? I still play hockey but it doesn't interest me like MMA does now. I do catch the odd leafs game but it just doesn't excite me anymore.

Lol. Going from C-Level athletes to D-Level barroom brawlers and construction workers. Step backwards imo.

Also, LMAO at sweaty guys rolling around in their underwear being 'one of the last masculine things that still exist'

 

[sangreporsangre]

Leafs fan? That explains it. It's hard to stay excited about a sport when the team you support is so shit. I'm a lifelong Leafs fan btw, unfortunately.

edit: I was also gonna say I don't really post in the Sports Bar but I think all this thread will really be is the whole "A level athlete" meme that these guys have a hard on for......and it didn't take very long^^^^^

If the big hits and fights are the best part of hockey to you, you were never really a fan imo.

Also, mma is a pseudo sport. Full of D level athletes.

UFC is full of the best mixed martial artists in the world, which means they are A level athletes. Every sport also has its D level athletes

 

[EvilDDS]

Talk about concussions is supposed to be a good thing, have too many of them and you won't be able to come on here and type coherent paragraphs like all the other sherdoggers......oh wait


And the Leafs have pissed me off these last few weeks, and if they somehow squeak into the playoffs, it most likely will be against Boston.

Ninja pls. WWE (A-level pseudosport) has better athletes than UFC (C-level pseudosport).

That tall and arms that long and you cant dunk. He shouldnt be called an athlete.

Only because no one cares about MMA....

We've seen what happens when high level athletes enter MMA. They dominate.

 

[Lifer]

Lebern took out an A-level 7'4 guy eleven feet in the air last night via flying elbow and tried to put the ball through the hoop just to make it more challenging. Anderpson Silva can only imagine pulling off a move like that.


MMA = where average joe's pretend they're world-class athletes.

 

[Revolver]

Why would anyone in the sports bar care about discussing D level athletes. Take this shit to the HW's.

so you weren't even a fan of the game to begin with, cool.

if precautions taken to protect the players "pisses you off" you're a fucking idiot. terrible thread.

 

[Corona]

Lol at taking a step back from c level athleticism to an f level pseudo sport. Have fun getting paid in table scraps to fight baristas.

 

[DangDaGawd]

Man, this guy has "just bleed" written all over him.

 

[Partlow]

lmfao

A Level athlete right here.

Pretty pathetic stuff. Heres Manziel who is probably half a foot shorter

And people still try to argue about A level athletes. Please. Ninjas need to brush up on their science.
