Quotes from UFC champ Sean Strickland at media day 😳:

Misogyny:

Take Wednesday’s pre-fight media day, for example. Strickland showed up in a T-shirt that read: “A woman in every kitchen, a gun in every hand.” You know, just in case we were in danger of forgetting that this is the same fighter who has repeatedly insisted that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote or hold jobs.

Homophobia:

When Lee replied that he’d have no problem with having a gay son, Strickland replied: “Well, you’re a weak fucking man, dude. You’re part of the fucking problem. You elected Justin Trudeau, and he seized the bank accounts. You’re just fucking pathetic. And the fact that you have no fucking backbone, and have him shut down your country and seize fucking bank accounts, and you ask me some stupid shit like that? Go fuck yourself.”

Transphobia:

“Here’s the thing about Bud Light,” Strickland said. “Ten years ago, to be trans was a mental fucking illness. And all of a sudden, people like you have fucking weaselled your way in the world. You are an infection. You are the definition of weakness. Everything that is wrong with the world is because of fucking you. And the best thing is, the world’s not buying it. The world’s not buying your fucking bullshit that you’re fucking peddling. The world is not saying, ‘you know what, you’re right, chicks have dicks.’ The world’s not saying that. The world’s saying, ‘there are two genders, I don’t want my kids being taught about who they can fuck in school, I don’t want my kids being taught about their sexual preference.’ Like, this guy [gesturing to Lee] is a fucking enemy. You want to look at the enemy to our world? It’s that motherfucker right there. Asking me stupid fucking questions.”

Those is hate speech. He should not be allowed in the country.

This guys a whiny ass wannabe victim bitch. Small pp syndrome. Hope he gets his ass handed to him.

Too late. It was already here.

Sean is weak and too stupid to know.

Losers like this are just starved for attention. Ignore them and they lose all power.

So nice to see him bite it. Too bad it wasn't more dramatic like that asshole Bryce Mitchell when he got knocked the fuck out.

What's going on with that dude's ear?

I kiNda feel like this also ties back to the conversation we should all be prioritizing which is supporting athletes who are expected to deal with CTE during their careers. Those athletes are literally not in their right minds, and while I condemn the words literally coming out of this man's mouth, there should be more accountability within the major sports league he represents to support him while he incur injuries that reduce his ability to function IRL.
