In every sport there seems to be people who defend their favorite team no matter what. We got rivalries like the Lakers vs Celtics; Vikings vs Packers; Yankees vs Red Sox, etc. With fans involved in these rivalries it's hard to take they opinion as truth, because of the obvious bias, and it's understandable. They stayin loyal to they teams, and they ain't backin down.
BUT...? MMMA!!! MMA has brought to the table a whole different type of wagon jumper. A person who has no loyalty to a fighter that isn't winning. This person will defend the front runner until the AM hours of the morning on chat boards, posting the same pictures, and launchin the same insults until they fall asleep with they face on the keyboard and their Brock Lesnar (or GSP, or Fedor, or Shogun, or Bisping) action figure in hand! This person is the nutwaxin, scrotum adherent FANBOY!
Why do people hug so hard, the nuts of MMA fighters??? I really couldn't tell you fo sure, but recent studies show that a FanBoy usually fits into a majority of the following qualifications.
-Ignorant to any type of combat
-Former or current WWE fan
-Severely in love with a fighters tattoo oh six pack
-Needs somethin to keep 'em busy til next football season
-Took Karate fo 3months to 5 years
-Feels bound by they race to support a fighter
-Really likes a fighters tattoo oh six pack
The biggest motivation fo nuthuggin, from my experiences with fanboys, is the need to associate. A fanboy usually nuthugs on the fighter he most wants to be like. When you break it down it's pretty petty, but when you see the pure paper tiger ferocity of these nutchewin, asshagglers all sympathy falls to the curb.
My final verdict? Let these little sunday suzies be the little bitches they is, and let the hardcores rise to the top. Stompin out all the irrational, one-sided arguments of the fanboys with MMA expertise, and bipartisanship! ... with the occasional insults of course! HEHEH!!!

I completly agree.I personally hold on to a fighter probally too long sometimes,such as Chuck,I'm still a die hard fan of his and I don't think i'll ever miss one of his fights.
ReplyDeleteI also hate it when people just nuthug on fighters cause the way they look,all ripped and the six packs.Take Paul Buentello vs Chieck kongo,after Paul knock's kongo out,I hope the UFC cuts kongo.Cuase that's all he has is a big ripped body.
Yeap, it's all true. Though you do have to look at the root cause of the problem, over-sensationalizing shit. Through media & advertising fanboys have been bought off by the spectacle rather than the sport.
ReplyDeletemy bad guys. didn't know i could comment on the blog.
ReplyDeletei didn't take into account the media aspect. that probably plays a big roll. but hey should come a point when a nuthugger realizes they've abandoned reason.
oh yeah, man i think paul gonna get the KO too. hopefully that fight ends up happening because it's gonna be a brawl.
