I'd expect no less from soccer fans to be honest.

Sure soccer is more fixed then WWE

Unwise to argue against a sweepingly idiotic statement by making one yourself.

I didn't make a sweeping statement.

Soccer is a thug's game played by gentlemen
Rugby is a gentleman's game played by thugs

I could care less what was said in a soccer forum

sweeping statement : a statement presented as a general truth but based on limited or incomplete evidence.

You made a sweeping statement when you said
'I'd expect no less from soccer fans to be honest'

No I didn't. :rolleyes:
I said: "I'd expect no less...", which I wouldn't. The statement is not sweeping nor is it based on incomplete evidence. My opinion on the other hand may well be, but that's not the same thing. Jeez guys...

OK Tim your very intelligent, well done, but your opinion is as ignorant as the soccer fans.

At least they didn't call it "human cockfighting".:D

You have to remember though that these people are coming from position of ignorance which is why two fighters grappling on the ground is profoundly homoerotic for them. You'd think they would be more secure in their own sexuality but obviously not.

If this thread descends an english lesson, I will lock it.

Some people just don't like UFC. It's nothing to get upset about. If you announced that you didn't like soccer, nobody on that forum would care.

You got this the wrong way round. In soccer the players show little or no respect to the referee and the other players, whilst this is not true of rugby, where there is respect all-round. e.g. Premiership and Heineken Cup.

MMA- It's only gay if you administer a reach-around.

To the some viewers, it will probably look a bit homoerotic, but only if you find yourself popping one while you watch. I think people who try to sexualise everything they see need to go lie down on a shrink's couch for a while, or maybe just grow out of puberty.

There's also the fact that it's a tongue in cheek comment, by the looks of it.

I don't listen to lectures from people that invest blood, sweat, money and tears in the English Premier League.

Anybody that thinks MMA is homoerotic needs there head examined.My cousin says that he thinks the fighters are gay and I always flip at him for saying it.I would like to see the people who say this about MMA fighters say it to there faces.

It's amazing how worked up people can get over tongue in cheek comments. :rolleyes::D

Would agree 100% couple fo my mates thing its homeerotic because of the clinching.. I mean your clinching so you can beat the crap out of someone, ain't nothing gay about that... I mean when you consider some football players spend most of the game trying to rip the shirt off another players back

There could be more homoerotic moments in sports like football.When a player scores most of the time a different player will kiss him.I can't recall that happening in UFC

.Anyways I can't wait for UFC 99 on Saturday.

Watching 2 guys wrap themselves around each other on the floor isn't gay, it's just boring.

Well ok, it's a little gay.

Fighters also tend to box the head clean off each other or knees in the face or maybe a kick to two. Not all fights are fought on the ground but if there is 2 good fighters fighting who are great on the ground it can become a great fight.
