SB Nation puts out a little finger slap to Ariel

MMAFighting.com is appreciative of the fact that the UFC was willing to rethink its stance, however, we respectfully disagree with the UFC's claim that "recurring tactics used by [Ariel Helwani] extended beyond the purpose of journalism." SB Nation and MMA Fighting will continue to stand behind Helwani's work and the contributions of the rest of the employees on the staff.
 
Is it just me, or there is no finger slap whatsoever in that statement?
 
Not entirely sure how you got "finger slap" from all that. Seems that they are backing Ariel 100%, and refuting UFC's criticism.
 
TS made a mistake and read UFC's statement, not SB Nation / MMA Fighting.
 
What the fuck is a finger slap? Is that like, less than a slap on the wrist?
 
SB nation are more likely to finger bang him than finger slap him

Where you got that from?

It says "However, in our opinion, we believe the recurring tactics used by its lead reporter extended beyond the purpose of journalism. "

Therefore they acknowledge Ariel did too much of a job?

The full UFC statement is below:

Following a conversation with the editorial team at SB Nation, UFC will not prevent MMAFighting.com from receiving media credentials to cover live UFC events. We respect the role the media plays in our sport and beyond, including MMAFighting’s ability to report news. However, in our opinion, we believe the recurring tactics used by its lead reporter extended beyond the purpose of journalism. We feel confident our position has now been adequately communicated to the SB Nation editorial team.

UFC’s goal as the world’s leading mixed martial arts promotion is to cultivate interest in its world-class athletes and events, and deliver for the fans. We will continue to introduce this sport and its athletes to new fans across the world, and we will do so by working alongside media across all platforms.

Get it?
 
TS, that's the UFC statement. You have confused SB Nation with UFC, for Christ's sake.
