Bill O’Reilly Bashing MMA Again
Damn this guy is a douche bag. I thought Dana White and Rich Franklin did a good job of putting this chump in place back in 2007, but the EliteXC show on CBS has brought new life to his ranting. Leave it to Fox news to incorporate terrorism into a mixed martial arts story.

Are this Idiots for real? They have no clue about the sport so they want to judge it. They should stick to killing little kids in africa or another third world country because according to these morons thats ok . These people are Idiots there just pissed off because fox did not think about it. Bill O’racist should just shut the hell up his a Idiot and racist as far as I’m concern he could go to hell with those to other losers.

The Roman Empire? Really? Lets get the facts straight, the Romans banned the gladitorial games after their conversion to Christianity, and then began their downfall.
In the old days they would never have shown a ‘bloodbath’? Didn’t ABC broadcast boxing matches in primetime in ‘the old days’? And what about football? Should we stop playing that as well because of all the injuries that can and do occur?
And if you want to make an argument you should probably do some research before you run your mouth off.
“…its boxing with more opportunities to inflict brain damage” Check with the MMA study from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA: As opposed to professional boxing, MMA competitions have a mechanism that enables the participant to stop the competition at any time. The “tap out” is the second most common means ofending a MMA competition. This unique characteristic, combined with more options of attack when competing, is thought to help explain a knockout proportion in MMA competitions that is almost half of the reported 11.3% of professional boxing matches in Nevada (Bledsoe et al., 2005).
“One of these days someone is going to get killed in this sport” It already happened!!! I’m not trying to back up this guys argument…but he doesn’t even have one to begin with because he obviously has not taken the time to research this sport and then make a decision.
And to round this one out; Thompson should not have been medically cleared to fight Slice with the severe and obviously fresh cauliflower ear that he had going. Anyone with combatives experience could have predicted the outcome of this one, one blow to that ear and the fight would be over because it won’t stop bleeding…and look what happened. CBS wanted to make some money.
At least these jackasses got something right.
