Pu**y and fa**ot are some of the most used words in a sport where people put each other in the hospital sometimes.
These are words I expect in this type of sport.

Why the fuck would anyone go racists out of no where?

Do you go around getting offended by everyone bad word you hear on radio songs?

Being a racist or an homophobe is the same thing. People shouldn't use those terms. No matter the circumstance.

Making excuses for him is awful.

Do some research.

It's funny that you're insinuating that we're outraged, but really we were just having a discussion and you're now restoring to nonsensical 5 word replies and clearly getting upset.

Relax yo, we ain't selling wolf tickets~
 
The joke was made at seniors' expense. All part of the marginalization.

But he's not a senior. He's only 46. That's old in sports terms, but for a regular person that's pretty much prime of life. Nobody discriminates against 46 year olds because of their age.

Of course a bunch of these guys are homophobes, racists and misogenists but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call them out for it.

But is Bisping a homophobe???

It was still inappropriate even if he isn't but you can't necessarily link the usage of the word to such an awful title.

I think what he's suggesting is that Luke Rockhold isn't a homosexual either, but using it as a pejorative is insulting to those who actually are homosexuals.

And Rockhold isn't a homosexual.

Using age as an insult is the same as... Well.. You follow my ridiculous train of though I'm sure.
 
I didn't intend for it to sound that way. Calling somebody gay as an insult is offensive to actual gay persons. Calling somebody a senior citizen as an insult would therefore be insulting to senior citizens.

I get that, but it's also the same thing with the N-word. Like if he had called Rockhold a "nigger", would people be saying "Oh it doesn't mean anything, Luke Rockhold isn't even black"?

What was the age-specific term that was used to describe Hendo anyway? I must have missed that. Is there a slur for old people? Gramps?

Well, it's only a slur because its usage disparages a group. You could use "gramps" as a pejorative too. A word having a history as a slur definitely elevates an infraction, though.

Just watched.

Oh boy, it's a fine balancing act between confidence and arrogance.


MICHAEL FUCKING BISPING

This is such a good story. Either you die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become the hero.


Really great card, overall.
