You all loved Cyborg when Ronda was champion.

[Trifick]

Now that Ronda's gone and Cyborg is becoming a superstar, you hate her now? Lmao. I love how Sherdog works.

or, you don't understand how sherdog works.

when Rousey was champ, her vocal minority of haters were more vocal. because it was timely then.

today, Cyborg's vocal minority of haters are more vocal. because it's timely now.

i hypothesize that you're not grokking how haters, timeliness or vocal minorities work on sherdog.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

They both got plenty of hate when Ronda was on top. Stop looking for reasons to be upset.

Rousey had a "minority" of haters?

 

[SherdogFan23]

I have never been a fan of either one. Cyborg got caught cheating before Ronda became belt holder, so people probably just forgot about it when she was on the outside looking in.

Rousey had a "minority" of haters?

i used the term 'vocal minority', actually.

let's say there's 100 people on sherdog, and the 10 haters make 60% of the posts. that model could be true in 2012 and today. except in 2012 those 10 haters didn't like Rousey, and today a totally different 10 haters dislike Cyborg.

i made no judgment on % of sherdoggers like or dislike either but rest assured, Rousey haters aren't posting as often or as loudly today (because of timeliness, another factor in all this) as they did when she was champ. therefore, those 10 posters aren't the 'vocal minority' anymore.

cyborg gets nothing but hate. people here were saying ronda had better wins and has a better resume. blinded by the "ufc" brand name.

no one liked her when ronda was champ.

I quoted the word that was relevant to my reply.

What percentage of Sherdog posters do you believe actually liked Ronda Rousey?

 

[Karelinator]

I honestly can't say I've seen much of people 'loving' Cyborg, ever.

They were just talking about her mauling Ronda, because they had hated Rousey more, lol.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

i don't care. it had nothing to do with MY point, and i also don't care anyway.

and isn't quoting one word out of a meaningful phrase the very definition of taking something out of context? i mean, you can at least admit to quoting me out of context, right? not that it matters, this thread is just that unimportant. but still.

Or, you're just making a lot of shit up.

TS is right, sherdog tends to have this crab in a barrel mentality. When a fighter's climbing to the top they get a ton of cheerleaders, when they reach the top a lot of people just want to see them fall.

It's not just limited to sherdog either. That's the way it goes.

No, your point contained what's called a "premise." Such as "Bill won a lot of games after he stopped beating his wife." To ask that person how or why they believe Bill was a wife beater is not taking a point "out of context." It's questioning one of the underlying premises in someone's statement.

well, maybe you're unfamiliar with the term. so be it.

but you quoting "minority" from my "vocal minority" is akin to me calling someone "passive aggressive", and then you quoted me as calling someone "aggressive".

well, maybe not that bad but the same ballpark.

i'm out. i'm sure you'll still disagree, and i doubt i'll respond when you do. cheers.

 

[DWAYNEAMERICA]

I don't like unrepentant drug cheats.

 

[marvinparsons]

I don't hate her, she's a great fighter, but her obvious PED use over the years turns me off a bit. In the men's division it is bad enough, but for a woman the edge you receive is enhanced even more so. It's like watching a man beating up a woman. If I thought she was natural and just a beast then I'd have no problem, but that's not the case.

 

[MEAN357]

i still love Cybrog. Her, Rose, and Nunes the only WMMA worth watching.

 

[koquerelle]

Way to rewrite history. She always had a ton of haters. TS is a fucking moron.

 

[Azderiel]

You do realise that sherdog is a website with many people of different opinions right? It's not just one entity with one opinion. It's not like people suddenly changed their mind about her. You're just seeing the opinions of different people. Stupid thread.

 

[xx madskillz xx]

Never loved Cyborg and never will.

 

[EGarrett]

well, maybe you're unfamiliar with the term. so be it.

I'm not unfamiliar with any term in this case. You used the concept of a vocal minority exactly the way I interpreted it. Particularly when you hypothetically proposed that 10% of Ronda's fans were haters.

but you quoting "minority" from my "vocal minority" is akin to me calling someone "passive aggressive", and then you quoted me as calling someone "aggressive".

That would actually be perfectly reasonable, since there must be some element of aggression for someone to be passive-aggressive.

well, maybe not that bad but the same ballpark.

i'm out. i'm sure you'll still disagree, and i doubt i'll respond when you do. cheers.

Ronda's whole career was based on lies, some of us have a very raw nerve for any false claims about her.
