it might, mcgregor will still be a racist little bollocks though

 

[Unknown Convict]

so it's alright to be a racist little bollocks as long as you're only doing it to upset a black lad, is that what we're going with?

no, i think it's alright if you're doing it to put your opponent off his press conference.

He's Conor McGregor not Muhummad Ali, people have forgotten you don't need to be a decent person to be good at what he does. He's not a living legend, he's just famous right now.

anyway, minor complaint: they're playing Hard-Fi is this pub.

arguably, decent people are incapable of doing what he does and being good at what he does is like being good at rape. my problem is as much/more with the media who give exposure to this goon. racists gonna racist but hearing e.g. today with sean o'rourke giving coverage to this on their monday sports briefing is part of a slow, insidious creep of validation.

Huh?

 

[Unknown Convict]

Huh?

being good at pummeling someone to a bloody pulp is not praiseworthy, not something to be proud of, not deserving of media plaudits, not 'a bit of light-hearted fun'. it lowers the sum of human achievement and debases us as a species.

don't mind me. i've been up since 5.30, from the wrong side of the bed.

Muhammad Ali was a renown racist btw

um yeah sure he was Piers Morgan, him and Malcolm X

mmm maybe but if the people who do take it pretty seriously want to call it a sport i'm not gonna argue, there's loads of stupid sports out there.

I think that comment was in relation to the things he had to say about Joe Louis, whether you believe that a black man's comments about another black man can be racist is another matter though.

In fairness its pummeling a consenting person who also might pummel you, it happens within a controlled environment and is monitored and can be stopped by a third party.
I think it suits 2017. Its very like the kind of thing i'd imagine happens in the Colosseum. I've convinced myself that doing things like giving the middle class tax breaks while ignoring people on minimum wage does way more damage than this ever will.

I'm hungover, good morning.

sport


NOUN

• An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
  

Looks convincing enough to me.

If so I'd say it's more or less the specific matter here.

but anyway, i guess my point is that Muhammad Ali was an inspiration in many, many parts of his life and yeah, granted, comes with complications. Conor McGregor is pretty one note.

I think we can all agree that McGregor (and Mayweather for that matter) is a horrible prick.

So we get to watch two people we don't like beat each other up.

Why is this in the complaints thread?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

My Facebook and twitter feeds being 95 % Doctor Who.

I would imagine that's significantly better than most of what I hear is on facebook etc.


(Mind you,its probably arguments about the new Dr being female)

I saw an article that was looking at the stats on twitter. on the doctor being female:

20% is people complaining the doctor is a woman
80% is people complaining about people complaining about the doctor being a woman.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Haha,can't be there's plenty of people defending a female Dr out there.

 

[ernesto]

Can't multi-quote on d'app but yeah I was just getting at the fact that Muhammad Ali was a hateful prick to fellow humans as well.
I don't think McGregors memory will live on as strongly as Ali's but time will tell. I hope he gets knocked the fuck out TBH

I saw an article that was looking at the stats on twitter. on the doctor being female:

20% is people complaining the doctor is a woman
80% is people complaining about people complaining about the doctor being a woman.

My feeds fell into the 80 %, I didn't see anyone giving out about her being a she (aside from screengrabs used by people complaining about complainers). Now I'm complaining about people complaining about people complaining.

There was a really evil looking red spider in the kitchen, it's dead now. Did the fucker think it was in Australia?
