I've always had the utmost respect for mixed martial arts athletes. I think the men and women who compete inside the octagon are some of the toughest SOBs in the world, but for some reason I've never had the desire to hangout at some chain restaurant till 12 midnight to watch the fights with a bunch of hardos who train at some UFC gym on Jericho Turnpike. I just could never get into the MMA, and until now, I could never figure out why I wasn't into watching something that I had a total respect for.
Well it turns out Rosie O'D's bro broke it down for me. I have the utmost respect for gay people. (Insert "I have gay friends or I have a gay family member statement here.") I'd go to the top of any mountain top (and I'm petrified of heights) to scream that anyone should be allowed to love, marry, or bone anyone (as long as it's not a child or animal...obvi) that they choose. Love, marriage and boning are all things that bring us great joy and no one should be denied that joy because they have the same private parts. So even though I respect the gays, and admire the talent of gay porn stars, I've always known I wasn't into watching gay porn...which according to Danny O'D, is just like the UFC with a different ending.
Now to keep it real, I really think the assemblyman is making the ultimate reach here in comparing MMA to 'gay porn', but at least he's helped me realize why I don't like to watch MMA. Just because you respect it, doesn't mean you're going to be into watching it.
