Anyone see this article by this guy? http://nypost.com/2016/04/07/watch-this-savage-mma-fight-and-say-it-should-be-legal/

I think he has written negatively about MMA before.. I can't stand people like this!

Edit: Found some more anti-MMA articles from this guy.

I think "Uneducated" and "Journalist" kind of go hand in hand.

Couldn't make it through the whole thing, felt like I was reading something from The Onion.

He just mad

 

[CodCommando]

putting savage in the article title, attracting kids to his views.

That kid that fought Ben Rothwell probably moved to NY and became a journalist.

Of all the fights to pick to call 'savage'!!!! What a tool...

 

[Primitivo]

He's trying to piss off the one true God.

 

[Magx951]

Just don't give these people attention.

You guys know he's just a "shock" journalist?

"“As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots— what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new ‘urban’ home— why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment? Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York Ni..."

"Uneducated"? Not at all. MMA is a violent sport that can be very traumatic on the brain. And it is conceivable that the vote to legalize MMA in NY was affected by perceptions of the economics. His is a perfectly valid opinion, I disagree with him.

lucky that dumbfuck's opinion doesn't really matter because the vote is already passed.

 

[Arrrrgh]

I think calling him uneducated is a bit of a stretch because it sounds like a blanket statement. And moreso he may not even be ignorant of the issues surrounding MMA legalization, as he brings up old but common arguments against it.

That said, he is most certainly extremely biased and anti-mma. If his goal was to change minds of people that are already familiar with the arguments for and against MMA he's not making a good case. All he is accomplishing is framing the discussion in a negative light with rhetorical tactics like calling it cage fighting instead of MMA. Nobody calls it cage fighting anymore.

If you can't make your argument while unbiasedly presenting the facts of both sides then you are most likely on the losing side--something I think that is evident in the fact that there is nobody even arguing the counter point anymore.

Would you want your state to be the only state in the country to have this sport be banned?
