This. I would give my left nut for all the shit this kid got out of being questioned by the police for a few hours. He’s been rewarded enough already.

Physical and mental anguish? It thought he had offers from magnet schools across the country and that they were even moving to Qatar or somewhere to go to a special engineering school free of charge?

I feel like this is the best answer to his detractors, though.

Fuck that. This was the best thing that ever happened to this kid, and he was in no way ‘damaged’ to the point of 15 million dollars.

he won’t, and now the kid looks like a money-grubbing asshat.

Honestly, fifteen million is an exorbitant amount, and despite the seriously racist assumption of a teacher, (s)he was probably trying to look out for the safety of all the other students. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve something, he does, just not a giant check to the tune of 15 mil.

I am starting to feel this way, too. It’s looking more and more like a circus/money grab by his father.

I mean, I get why... But come on.

I for one wish this fellow many happy returns.

Holm has barely an inch on Rousey and they weigh in the same pound for pound. How hard is it to just say Holm won on the merits?

Yeah this was just not a good matchup for her. She’s beaten up a lot of tomato cans (and a couple strong fighters) and I agree she started to believe her own hype. Trying to kick box with Holm was nuts.

Long story short: Rousey is a phenomenal athlete with unbelievable grappling skills and a REALLY mediocre striker. She fought someone tonight who could take advantage of that.

Rousey believed her hype. I think she wanted to beat her as a puncher to show how she could beat Holm at her own game. Unfortunately Holm is a fantastic striker. Great fight. Glad I saw it.

The most feverish dream could not concoct this image.

Lol this is the woman they said could beat up Mayweather? May weather’s propensity for hitting women aside, Ronda just took a hard nap from Holly Holm, a BOXER. She would get her ass beat by May or any other real STRIKER.

MMA has its Buster Douglas moment.

I agree with you she is tiring and overrated. The UFC was never about the fighters but themselves and with that they promote cheap fighters they force their audience to love and think are great. Women’s MMA was huge in Brasil and Japan, its prime was around 2004. I agree, Rousey has not proven herself against any of…

People are going to jump on you because you dare speak ill of Ronda but you’re spot on. It’s easy to look like a perfect top notch amazaballs fighter when everyone else is genuinely mediocre. Yes she is probably the best female fighter without a doubt and she definetly has top quality fighting skills, but people need…

Rousey is without question the most overrated fighter in the history of the world. The UFC got into womens fighting a few years after they should have. They strapped her up put her in make up and have rolled out the job squad ever since. While having her be the face of the league. She is the epitomy of a TV champion…
