Anderson Silva was/is extremely popular and even "blacker" and far more foreign than Jones. And he hoola dances and calls people slurs in the cage.
People don't like Jones for the same reason they didn't like Tim Sylvia. Fighters with size advantages and awkward personalities have never been fan favorites.Last edited by ////; 09-14-2014, 06:20 PM.

This thread was on Sherdog and it got over 40,000 hits and over 1000 replies in like two days, I won't make a comment on what Joe said but if there wasn't some truth to that statement it would not be such a hot topic obviously.

Anyone who says that race does not play a factor in sports is someone who is:
A) being overly defensive
B) somebody who is trying to be politically correct
C) a compleat moron
Race plays a factor in every aspect of life, and in sports more so.
the funny thing is the people trying to say it doesn't, lol
But Hendo's wedding pic was pure gold! You got to admit, lolLast edited by 2fast2strong; 09-15-2014, 06:14 AM.

lol @ saying it can't be racism because people love Anderson so much. Really? Anderson? He's also one of the most hated fighters in the sport, I would say close to Jones.
As for Rogan's comments, the worship of white fighters like Fedor and GSP while hating Jones and Anderson does not make Shertard's case any better. There is truth in Rogaines comments.
