O'Reily's and The UFC.....

UFC


The Rebuttal

This is a rebuttal to all the idiotic things O’Reily said in the video you just watched above.

1st: Ali was a boxer. Not a MMA fighter. Therefore you cannot compare the two. That would be like saying that football and hockey are the same.

2nd: Ali does not have Parkinson’s because he chose to be a boxer, boxing did not give him Parkinson’s. I’m pretty damn sure that most Parkinson’s patients were never boxers. Case in point, I feel fairly confident in the assumption that Michael J. Fox never boxed, so how did HE get the awful disease, Mr. O’Reily sir??

3rd: Concussions come with every sport. There are more concussions with high school football I’m sure. Hell I get one once a week at least from Levi throwing a fit and head-butting me in the nose!! I bet more concussions are seen in mothers of toddlers than the UFC!!!

4th: MMA IS safer than boxing for one reason, the refs. The ref can stop it at any time they feel the fighter cannot intelligently defend himself. Unlike boxing were as long as you can get back up before the count of eight, you go right back into the ring for more punches in the head!!! Most fights in the UFC are stopped before they are knocked unconscious.

5th: MMA is no more violent than say hockey or football. And every fighter I’ve ever met, my hubby included, have been the sweetest men, with big hearts and giving spirits. According to you it would be all right as long as they make enough money. But as Rich said, he does it because its his passion, it’s his sport. How lucky are these athletes that they can make a living doing their passion!! We all wish we could say that.

So Mr. O’Reily sir, MAYBE you should research a sport and know more about the rules BEFORE you go spouting off about it!!! And then, maybe just maybe, you wouldn’t look like a total idiot on national TV.

This concludes “The Rebuttal” portion on Good In Theory. Please tune in next week when I’m sure something or someone else will piss me off enough that I feel it warrants a rebuttal, from yours truly.
