Firing over the phone for personal safety? from who…Fertitta? (Mafia) Sakakibara? (Yakuza) or those extremely violent Japanese…(around 40 murders annually for the whole country my hometown of Vallejo, Ca. pop-120k had 44 in ‘94) If I was Dana White I prolly woulda done the same, maybe he actually tried to revive Pride but I am sure he wasn’t sweating to much over it…

Hispanics only coming to see hispanics etc? – So f***ing what? Irish Americans come out to support Irish fighters, Croats come out for Cop, I don’t think there are a ton of “Brown” people who come out for any “Brown” fighter and all of these people generally will watch someone they like regardless of race, religion, etc…

one race does it i’ts ok / another is racist? White people must be the subject, well I have a little advantage here being half Irish half Filipino and being able to sit at the dinner tables of both sides of the family? White people hold a lot of resources, land, corp positions, etc from years of Manifest Destiny, Slavery, Forceful Colonization, etc.. (A black lady in the south has recently proved some company whose owner is an heir to her ancestors slavemasters fortune did so by way of Slavery, cheap labor keep all the profits in a nutshell)…My dad holds a high position in a local city dept. he can hire, fire etc. Being born in 50 he was raised to think that Blacks were less valuable in society (whites only restaurant, back of the bus, separate drinking fountains, etc) although he may not see it, he says he likes Black People but hates N*****s, I explain to him that as being seen as a Mexican (even tho I am half filipino / irish) most of the racism I encounter is from punk ass white people, anyways he doesn’t think he is racist or see how his remarks like blak hate N***ers can subconsciously affect decisions such as hiring (which can really f**k with someones life)…I love both sides of the family and don’t like it when people generalize about White people either but I here way more racist s**t when at the Dinner table of the White side of my family as compared to the Brown side…

cont. because of this minorities feel a little more of a need for someone to put on a pedestal, idolize, whatever…

I remember the stereotype of Mexicans being lazy when growing up (prolly comes from that nap people in Spain and Mexico take in the afternnoon, can’t remeber the name of it) but now as a 30 year old man I see all these amigos busting their ass at 2 or 3 jobs or an all day job like Grape picking, send some $ back to their families (who are prolly suffering because some American company came into their area for cheap labor, lax environmental restrictions, milked the area for its natural and personell resources and then up and left the place to shit) and you want to sweat them because they come out in mass for Lame Tito Ortiz? You really think they don’t watch and admire guys like Randy too? then you are f***ing stupid…..

The blame is all on Dana White for turning his back on the Japanese and not caring about getting the UFC over to Japan. I think he needs to rethink this with is appointed advisors and bring it back so that the UFC and Pride Oraganizaiton can rule side by side and make MMA a legendary sport. The fans would have love to seen a super bowl of mixed martial arts and could have easily out showed the NFL superbowl. but its aint going to happen unless they quit being morons.

P.S.

Dana white doesnt know anything about mixed martial arts.
and his head looks like a boiled egg.

“I don’t think anything that Bernie Ecclestone or Max Mosley has done is remotely comparable to Dana White’s occasional unprofessional behavior.

Sure, Ecclestone has said some mildly inappropriate things, but hardly to the extent that White has. You certainly never heard Ecclestone go on a public tirade about Michael Schumacher the way White has with Tito. And Mosley might be Bernie’s crony, but I’ve only ever seen him give intelligent, well-thought counterpoints to prevailing opinion. Mosley has certainly always been professional to a tee.”

Mosley recently referred to Jackie Stewart as a “certified half wit”. Compare and contrast to Dana White’s “Tito is a complete and total moron”….

Well, that question is still out there, actually. Particularly in Boston, it’s a topic of occasional discussion. Celtics attendance declined significantly when there were no white stars on the team. Whether that was the sole cause, or whether it was that the team just sucked ass is up for discussion.

I do know that now, 15 years later, there’s plenty of evidence that the team is able to sell a lot of tickets even based on the suspicion that they might play well this year. Kevin Garnett is the biggest thing to happen to that team in a decade, and season tickets were being gobbled up at an insane rate.

I’m still not watching, but that’s because I don’t like to watch basketball. To many play stoppages. There’s no reason that a 48 minute game should take two to three hours to show on television. I feel the same way about gridiron football. I just have better things to do with my time. Like watching paint dry.

I was actually complementing you on a) foreseeing the death of Pride (twice), b) being right about UFC’s failure to grasp the way of doing things in Japan, and c) foreseeing the failure of UFC to be able to run Pride as a working entity. All at the same time as being bashed for being anti-Pride and anti-UFC.

I promise to spell out everything in blindly obvious language at all times in the future.

I still think it was a funny thing to do firing those Japanese twats over the phone – anyone associated with Hustle deserves nothing less.

It’s always a circus in F1.

And when McLaren Honda was dominating at least it was exciting. Oh and they had Senna.
