The marrying your cat/tree isn’t exactly out of the rea of possibilities these days lol Ok lol, but you get the overall point. Generally a slippery slope argument is a terrible one that you can make against anything because you can always take something and go to an extreme.

The UFC will never make rules regarding how far a player can go with his trash talk. They understand why, even if ya'll don't. I'm asking you what the comment was. Context very obviously matters. For example, "Canelo Alvarez is from Mexico" is obviously not an insult. When you allow trash talk to go beyond where it should, you end up with what happened tonight, or worse.

I'm not saying the UFC should make rules to ban certain trash talk. I just feel people should know certain things should be off limits. Trash talk your opponent but leave the family, religion stuff out of it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally it is. But in the case of trash-talking, it's clear to anybody who thinks it through why banning "X-themed" trash talk is a ludicrous idea.

BayRaider Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I was reading NSAC may take 50% of Khabibs purse and possibly suspend him. Dana said if the suspension is of any serious length (probably 6 or more months) then he will be stripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course when you bring up anything sociological hear it turns into a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
