Since when have kids become ok with breaking your word and contract?

Is that a virtue that society doesnt value about anymore? How is defending Conor here at all justified?

Professional sport league teams, and in this case Zuffa always break contracts. Ie.) cutting Fighters before their contract is up. So it's only okay for one side of the spectrum to do it?

 

[CernRed]

Fighters have almost zero bargaining power with the UFC.

This is not the case for every other major sport out there.

We should absolutely support fighters for standing up.

Conor has every right to back out. Thats perfectly fine, but many are acting like he was wronged. He wasnt.

He's backing the wrong fight. Conor being treated even more special will only harm fighters like Rory.

The UFC brass isn't exactly the grandfather of integrity

Yeah damn kids

I hate when they walk on my lawn too.

I think they mean they were wronged. A fighter was pulled from a card because they wouldn't do unnecessary press; even though fans, media and fighters sympathize with McGregor's position.

The UFC denied them a fight because they wouldn't make concessions.

Since when have people decided the rich and famous shouldn't be genuinely accountable for their actions, especially repeat offences which are dangerous to others? Have you seen how many people are gagging for Jones' return?



Since always, is the answer. People's reasoning is rarely consistent and celebrity only muddies that further. I'm the same, I wont pretend I transcend this phenomena.

this is perfectly legit and valid BUT the other side is that when the other party is as guilty or even worse than the breacher, its hard to care for them

Damn straight.

UFC requiring complete subservience from all fighters is bad for all fighters. Surely you can think in the abstract.

UFC shill.

He pulled himself from the fight when he breached his contract. If thats what he want to do thats fine. Whats to sympathize with? It was Conors decision.

How? It shows agents/managers they will give leeway. Fighters can point to Conor as an example to get X in their contract, so long as they have leverage.

It should be expected for everyone to fulfill the contract the signed.

Have they broken any contracts?

 

[SocraticMethod]

Goddamn kids today, man.

I confess not to understand it but I was raised to fulfill the obligations I'd promised to, not decide the job is too hard and quit halfway through.

 

[CernRed]

It should be expected for everyone to fulfill the contract the signed.

Regardless of whether the contracts are completely unfair?

"It was his free will!"
