In my experience as a male several years out of college, facebook just assures potential mates that I’m not 1) a serial killer 2) friendless 3) a frat douche (I unfortunately look the part). That being said I haven’t been on my facebook in weeks. Birthday reminders are helpful I guess.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk...Do you watch much fighting? Opponents are generally disrespectful of each other...shenanigans almost always happen at weigh ins...names are almost always called. Muhammad Ali made up songs to disrespect Joe Frazier. Mike Tyson...well, he is next level.

So many types of racism and Slavery, I figured I would start with what I see and where it came from.

Fuck that whole “must be humble to be a great champion” bullshit.
Ali was an asshole.
Bruce Lee was an asshole.
And when they got hurt or knocked out, they came back strong as ever.
All you social media nerds want a perfect fucking athlete; one that can win and save the fucking world at the same time.
Why can’t you…

Similarly, no mention of the child migrant schemes shipping war orphans to Australia from England. They were used and abused as cheap labor while completely cut off from any existing family, in the name of whitening Australia.

99.999% of people think Nate Diaz is the biggest douche in the universe. Having met both of them at various BJJ tournaments, reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Fighting is scary shit. It’s not intended to be a “job”. Being in a fight and being a human are complete different arenas. Unfortunately most people…

I plan to write a post dedicated solely to those horrific policies but you’re absolutely right that I should have at least mentioned it in this piece. That’s my mistake.

I didn’t see any mention in your piece of Australia’s most despicable policy of the “Stolen Generation,” where Aboriginal children were removed from their parents’ homes and forced to live with white families in an effort to breed out the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. This shameful act of eugenics lasted…

Not about to count her out. Her judo and ground game are still excellent. She needs move to a camp like Tristar where they will actually teach her how to box. Seems like Edmond, who considers himself some kind of boxing expert, only ever taught her how to throw punches (and not all that well) and completely neglected…

My takeaway here is that since smiling screws up facial recognition I should always smile really big when committing crimes.

I’ve always wondered about this! What if you smile while you’re committing the crime, though?

Actually, it constantly gets mentioned by slavery apologists like you who do not understand that “Africans” were not a unified group who identified with each other on racial or geographical terms during the slave trade. The fact that some black people sold other black people to white people does not in any way shape…

They’re really ruining all of my heist aspirations with this.

Despite all that, I’m actually glad Rousey lost. As I said in a previous article, the way she recovers from a loss will be infinitely more interesting than another dozen wins.

See that’s the lie. There were several slave owners in the south. Also, no one is blaming white people of today. When people forget about the brutality of slavery, they forget the systemic racism that still plagues this country today. When politicians try to change school textbooks to say slaves were “relocated…

There has to be someone affiliated with Deadspin that can pull off the mannerisms and affectations of an adolescent attendee.

That’s ridiculous, but why would you want to go listen to Greg Hardy speak anyway?

This is Deadspin’s “Apple blackballs Gizmodo from iPhone coverage” moment.

“Anyone with a cursory knowledge of Australian history” would pretty well let out most of Gizmodo/io9’s primary readership: Americans. And frankly, I’m from a Commonwealth country and this is the first I’ve ever heard of blackbirding, or the widespread use of indentured servants, or the explicit framing of Australia…
