Mark Schultz having a change of heart on Foxcatcher

Yeah honestly this

which surprised me because in interviews Mark seems normal

in the movie he seems borderline retarded

Yeah , a thought crossed my mind when watching the movie , this retard won a gold medal. Tatum was good throughout but some of his mannerisms made mark look like an extreme simpleton
 
I guess he saw the movie and was okay with it and then people started coming up to him and assuming bad things about him and then he got mad.
 
So did he edit out these comments people are mentioning or am I just that bad at twitter? I clicked the link but didn't see him saying anything too crazy

That's a sad situation, overall. I kind of find it dickish that he'd build himself up like that compared to his brother. It may very well be true, but it just seems a little tasteless. I can't judge him though, that is an absolutely insane situation to be in.

This.

He comes off pretty small minded for a "corporate life coach".

Tbf, during the movie I thought to myself "huh, I thought Mark was the better wrestler?" They definitely made Dave seem superior in every way. He should be over it by now but sometimes those rivalries persist, even after death. I guess?
 
The whole movie had a creepy vibe to it because of Du Pont. Steve did a great job and so did the director in order to maximize the creepiness. It was a pretty good movie. A lot of the moves they used were real wrestling stuff and it looked really good on camera. Don't know how it'd look like from outside a perspective of someone who wrestled, but it looked pretty legit to me. A bit too many dramatic tosses, but the pummeling and armdrags and stuff looked good
 
Here's another Facebook post he made:

I was already an Olympic and WORLD Champion before I met du Pont. The director took my 1985 World Title away in the film. I was not emotionally fragile as critics suggest. I didn't move to Pennsylvania to wrestle for Foxcatcher. I took an assistant coaching job at Villanova. I never looked up to duPont as a mentor, leader, father figure. He was a lot dirtier the first time I met him and he was drunk. He told me he would have nothing to do with Villanova which was the only reason I went there. du Pont was a repulsive sickening freak. I could barely stand looking at him. I never touched him except for a photo at the hall of fame and when I threw him in a headlock for a documentary. I never showed him any moves or taught him anything about wrestling. I never coached him in a wrestling match. I never read any speech he gave me. I never dyed my hair. Dave was my older brother, not a father-figure. After I won the NCAA's and Dave took 2nd, Dave started asking me about technique and calling himself Mark Schultz's brother. I was a 3x NCAA Champion. Dave won once. After 1986 I started beating Dave in practice consistently. I never worked out in the new wrestling complex duPont built in the film. If du Pont ever slapped me I'd have knocked his head off. I never wrestled after Dave moved onto Foxcatcher Farms. I was doing Jiu-Jitsu at BYU. Dave was never a head coach anywhere. I was a Division I University Head Coach for 6 years. Dave was intelligent but no more than me. Just coz I wasn't filling the silence with superfluous noise all the time doesn't mean I was inarticulate. I earned a masters degree with a 3.6 gpa. I'm a corporate speaker and life coach. The movie doesn't show hardly any of my victories. It focuses on only my losses. The personalities and relationships between the characters in the film are primarily fiction and somewhat insulting. Leaving the audience with a feeling that somehow there could have been a sexual relationship between duPont and I is a sickening and insulting lie. I told Bennett Miller to cut that scene out and he said it was to give the audience the feeling that duPont was encroaching on your privacy and personal space. I wasn't explicit so I didn't have a problem with it. Then after reading 3 or 4 reviews interpreting it sexually, and jeopardizing my legacy, they need to have a press conference to clear the air, or I will.

This guy is so mad that his brother is way more loved and highly regarded than him.
 
the fuck is a corporate life coach anyway? i've never worked in a company that had a coach in it

I am a bit late to the party, but I think Mark Schultz has a right to be as pissed off as he wants to be.

And I hope Dave Schultz's family owns everything DuPont, but we know that isn't likely.

I'm pretty sure they won a wrongful death lawsuit but didn't get everything.

Interestingly Du Pont left most of what was left of his fortune to another wrestler Valentine Jordanov from Bulgaria.

I used to go to a clinic he taught and Hs and wish we had stayed in contact...

Also I beleive Nancy Schultz was Miller's guest at the GOlden GLobes last night....
 
I can understand why he was fucking pissed

Off topic, but I thought it was a catch - and I can't stand the Cowboys.
 
Something to consider here is Schultz is a devout Mormon. Him being portrayed as possibly homosexual wouldn't sit well there.

Another lie from Mark's interview:

First of all, you didn't "win UFC" you won a fight in the UFC. When you say you won UFC you're implying that you were one of the early tournament winners. Then you go on to say you never competed after that fight, which according to sherdog's fightfinder, you lost to Leopoldo Montenegro in 2003. So I guess your wins count but not your losses?

Wow, get out your slide rule and nitpick a little more.
