Good list, missing that Bushmills Single Malt 10yr thou. Tasty beverage right there, and well-priced for what it is. Best in the Irish category, IMO.

Self-identification and use among those described is certainly different than the manner in which some of these commenters are using it, that’s clear. Much like some other slurs I can think of.

Dealing with their communities is not the topic at hand. The issue is the use of a racial slur to refer to the Romani people, which is not acceptable for any group of people, whatever their beliefs or actions.

I pretty much assume that anytime I read an article involving something like this I will also end up reading some ignorant comment posted by some half baked dip shit. Comes with the territory.

lol. actually started as a joke about Rogers that somehow morphed into this.

Nah, I’ll just continue to not be an ignorant bigot. That’s working for me.

Because all Romani people are thieves, right? You keep going with those bigoted views, they’re clearly working for you.

You mean the term that isn’t a racial slur? ‘LOLOL’

Gypsies? Not the preferred nomenclature, dude.

It’s called a cup. Think playing with one makes you less of a man? This should show you that the alternative means you’ll be even less of a man, literally.

Yeah, I know. It also states this in the article.

Nope, but that was the “...and”

...and this isn’t in their jurisdiction

Not sure how the same pressure that applies to Zuffa wouldn’t apply to Bellator. But yeah, there isn’t a strong business case for testing, it’s a grudge purchase.

Rogers should have to pay for the costs of this visit and all the admin around it, the same way you pay if you pull the fire alarm. How is a 24 year old, or anyone else for that matter, going to throw a fucking statue?

RCMP only handles Federal crimes in Ontario - organized crime, gangs, terrorism etc.

I guess so. Bellator’s parent company is a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate. Maybe this will be in a kick in the ass to implement a more stringent testing policy.

Sure. I’m saying would it not make sense to take the tests in time to process results? Just gives cheaters more time to cycle off.

I never quite understood why labs didn’t process pre-fight samples before the fight. I know the promoter wouldn’t be happy, but if a guy in each of the main event fights pisses hot, then they shouldn’t be fighting. Slice gets his win converted to an N.C. and I guess if Shamrock had won it would be the same result. But…

Better hope those money fingers hold Canadian dollars as well.
