HDNet's Inside MMA 3rd Anniversary & Controversial Comments
Congratulations Inside MMA, Bas Rutten, Kenny Rice and Ron Kruck. I enjoy the show and appreciate what it does for the sport of MMA.
Great work guys!!
I've been on the show a couple of times and these professionals love what they do. I was once a welcomed guess but things apparently have changed and they no longer want my voice or input. Clearly the powers that be at Inside MMA are not fond of yours truly. The feeling is not mutual because I remain a loyal supporter of the show!
Joe Rogan, Mark Cuban and Mayhem Miller went in hard on New York Assemblyman and ardent MMA opponent Bob Reilly. Mr. Reilly's comments comparing MMA to dog fighting and prostitution was provocative to say the least. Assemblyman Reilly has gained a great deal of exposure with his blockade of the movement for the legalization of MMA in New York state. It has always been good politics (now that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one) to latch on to a popular issue for personal publicity.
Joe Rogan and the boys made some very funny comments, cursed freely and alleged the Assemblyman might be involved in pedophilia with young boys...all things that play well with the MMA faithful.
These displays make Joe Rogan more popular with the people that already love him but make the delicate task of changing hearts and minds in the NY legislature a bit more difficult.
I love the announcing talents of Joe Rogan and Mark Cuban is the man in the business world (he's also great on HBO's Entourage) but the shock and awe campaign of "F"-bombs and "dungeons of naked boys" quips make the MMA legalization mountain a little harder to climb.
Now I'll never be on Inside MMA again.
