War Room Lounge V26: Neoliberal Clicks

I don't see how anyone can root for Jones anymore. The guy had so much and pissed it all away (pun intended). I've never rooted for Gus before but you have to at this point. This is such bs and I can't believe they can do this with a straight face.

And War Hunto btw

The crazy thing is that the guy barely trains. My buddy trained with him in Thailand and the guy barely works out.


Also @Ripskater I've been seeing this passage on facebook a lot

Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV) “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.

Would you say this applies to trump?

im rooting for him. i hope he never loses in the ring.


if he gets knocked out, justice is served, the people are mollified, the story line fades, and everyone else responsible for letting it get this far gets largely off the hook.


oh no, i want him to win and keep winning. i want it on full display that no one has the sack or the integrity to ban an undefeated fighter. (yes, yes, the DQ, lets call it un-humbled in the ring fighter if you like.)

Well that ought to keep Senri busy for a while

I haven't been able to take the UFC seriously for a while now. This puts the nail in that particular coffin. What a complete and utter joke.

Like what? Anabolics?

To think fighters found out via social media and sometimes have a dozen team members / family flown in ...

So unprofessional. I guess Dana needed to save this year's bonus / profit share.

Hope they are compensating ticket holders and fighters appropriately. I just thought about that. If you'd give 10,000 people 500 dollars each to cover for hotel/travel rearrangement, you are looking at 5 million dollars. I think that is a small sum against the expected revenues (and profits).

 

[JDragon]

Guy is just fucking nuts really. Just does not give a shit.

Pisses me off though that I have to root for gus now. I dislike Gus

Don't see why you would need to root against Jones now if previous instances were insufficient to turn you.

Dunno, this time it pissed me off. I did not care about his coke fueled antics, but I think this just broke the proverbial camel's back.

*Edit* shit, I will still probably root for Jones by the time fight night rolls around. He is the one who got me hooked on MMA.

Now I'm waiting for Gus do dominate him for five rounds, and then lose on the cards.

You can't stop Johnny Bones!

 

[Trotsky]

Yeah, no idea how anyone can root for Jones.

He's by far the greatest fighter of all-time imo and that I've ever seen, but he's an uber-turd. Just a piece of shit person.

Can't be the greatest if you cheat imo

The thing is....I'm pretty comfortable believing that he would be dominant without cheating. He was so, so far above everyone else for so long.

And that also makes it reflect even more poorly on his character.

Nah bruh
Can't do it
Cheating invalidates greatness, full stop.
"He was a beast at Monopoly. Took $1000 extra out of the bank, but would have won anyway so ehhhh."
Saying somebody that got a head start would have won even without a head start... does not hold water with me at all.

The eye-test agrees with you, but there's no way to know the effect cheating had on outcomes, no matter how skilled he is technically. He could push harder than the next guy all through training, recover more quickly from nagging injuries, was stronger and faster than he should've been, would not fatigue as quickly, etc, etc. He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Also, Gus should have won the first fight.
