Is the Sherdog hate towards Joe Rogan based off of jealousy?

[John Wick]

At the core below all surface things i.e. his hyping, flip flopping, etc.

I mean he's living the life. He gets paid for being himself on his podcast. He gets cage seats to fights. He's rich and can do whatever he wants---that's why he typically says really stupid shit. Or is the pseudo-intellectual aspect of Joe? I don't understand the hate sometimes, it's very nitpicky. Women typically do this when their jealous.

I've said some bad things myself about Joe in the past as well, but hats off to the guy for how he makes a living.

Nope. Criticizing or disliking someone isn't always just "hating" or "jealousy." Sometimes there are legitimate things to critique.

I don't really get the hate I think Joe just likes to drink, smoke dope and he's not afraid to have a discussion about any topic at all really, so I think that just naturally pisses off a few people here and there all the time.

 

[Hardkore]

Nah, he's being called out for some of the silly things he says. Otherwise most people like Joe, I know I do, but I'll still roast him when talks nonsense

I think it's more based on how much he hypes everything up. Example: "Ronda is the greatest ever" "Ronda is once in a lifetime" "Ronda is like a mythical creature" That sort of stuff.

 

[UL]

No

Based on him being a fool and acting like overrated ronda was something special

 

[Touch of Death]

They hate him because they want to be him.

 

[Luger]

I hate him because he is bald

 

[Reign009]

A lot of people actually used to like Joe but I think it changed with the whole Ronda thing.

 

[Bearknuckle]

He's being called out because he added to the ronda hype when all the hardcores (sherdog) knew whats up.

Then when he gets defended by some, people start digging up more stuff to prove their validity that he says dumb shit sometimes.

To be fair though it is his job to hype the fighters.

I don't hate Joe and I don't imagine most do. But you have to admit that it's not like he's never done anything goofy before.

Added??? Id Damn well say he was the conductor of the Ronda Hype train. He needs to own up to it. It's ok, we all get things wrong and drink the kool-aid at times.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Rogan is the man. I am jealous of him though. He's balling out of control.

 

[NotSoSure]

Jealousy is not a necessary condition for hate. Also....hate is a strong word.

Given he's the loudest most continuous voice in MMA, it's healthy to disagree or not blindly follow his words.

Note that most fans only know MMA terminology through his words....and that's a shame.

Yep, fair point. He speaks the truth majority of the time, every once in a while the hype get out of hand. "Houston Alexander is for real!" lol

 

[BloodyPoptart]

TS is gay

 

[DorianGray]

Of course you're correct ts. Criticism cannot be given in the absence of jealousy.

/sarcasm

I think to claim the one doing the criticizing is simply jealous of who they criticize is a reflex of the simple.

 

[Oy]

His "brand" is about keeping it real. He SAYS he's all about owning up to being wrong. And then he doesn't keep it real or own up to BS. That's the disconnect.
