POLL: What's Your Red Line For Trash Talk?

[Deleted member 585708]

Try not to send this to the War Room, but it might end up there anyway...

When is trash talk too far in your opinion?

This isn't about giving the right or wrong answer, don't say "but Dana allowed...", I want to know what you are comfortable with.

Choose as many items as you like.

Family. Talking about people's kids etc.

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

I am good with everything except talking shit about someone's dog. Dogs should be off-limits.

Added.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Racism.

And keep family out of it. That’s fucked, imo.

 

[Prick_Flair]

Family. After yesterday's presser its also pretty low to go after an opponent because of what they suffered as a child.

I think all of that is unacceptable personally. But to clarify, anybody can say whatever they like. But they should understand and accept what comes along with it. They should accept others can voice their opinion and ostracize or criticize them in return. And not play victim when it happens. Take responsibility for your words. And no, building up a fight doesn’t suddenly make it acceptable.

I'm with you, dude.

I find all of those things unacceptable and am surprised to see professional athletes using that type of subject matter to hype a fight.

Ageism

Everything is fine and let them fight it out in the cage

Lets get some fookin wars going

I'm fine with 99% of the things that are ever said, and fine with anyone saying whatever they wanna say. They wanna play that game, play it. That said, the fallout from what is said is part of the game, don't cry later.

I've kinda added this one, too - "All fine unless you later say it's just for funsies" lol

Probably any trash talk is too much for me. There are more than enough actual mma fights to watch nowadays to waste time paying attention to wwe make believe “beefs” etc. STFU and fight already!

Not acceptable to talk about someone's lacking skills.
For example, don't say "You jab looks like a hook, your grappling is bad, your chin is gone, your endurance is that of an obese man"
They never talk about that... so I assume it is a taboo

 

[Gilday]

I don't have one, the only rule is that if you're willing to go low you can't then cry when someone goes lower.

 

[jitzmonkey]

Realistically when people make personal attacks, they should expect consequences.

I can’t specifically remember what Bisping said to Hendo, just a lot of sh-t talking; so the extra absolutely inconsequential (to the match) elbow that I remember thinking “that’s what happens.”

Jorge’s super necessary 3 shots on Askren

Renzo on Ben Spijkers way back in the day, etc…

Not fair!
Everyone else is supposed to respect my specific personal boundaries regarding what I deem is acceptable.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

All are acceptable except family

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Is fat phobia too far?
