Miguel Torres saying there's a bias on tweets

MiguelTorresMMA: Funny how some guys can say whatever the fuck they want and others get fired for it.

He retweeted this, I'm sure this is what he's referring to.

ForrestGriffin: I hate when guys say "I wanna fuck the shit out of her" cus I've done that and it's not cool Phone Post

Forrest also tweeted about rape being the new missionary. Dana called him and Forrest basically talked his way out of it, then went to some rape crisis centers and volunteered. Torres made his tweet and got fired, so he could have some resentment towards Forrest. Phone Post

roryfan87 - So anal sex joke = rape joke? Phone Post

Apparently in Miguel's eyes....

I remember when Twitter was first gaining popularity, Miguel was on every twitter list for must follows due to insightful and amusing tweets. Not much he says anymore is insightful or amusing... Phone Post

Forrest is not Guatemalan.

The funny thing about Torres is that he got fired for making a rape joke, then after he got rehired he made another one.

Hard to feel sympathy for a guy who won't learn his lesson...

I thought Torres said they cut him based on his fighting ability, not for his tweets. Phone Post

And it sounds like instead of owning up to his mistakes he's trying to justify them by pointing out others mistakes. Phone Post

this is not a communistic society..some people are treated different than others...deal with it

More so than that, if you are more valuable to a company you get more leeway on the mistakes you can make. It's pretty simple. For example the Patriots are less likely to cut Tom Brady if he gets a dui than 5th string wide receiver. Phone Post

Forrest Griffin = Tom Brady??? Phone Post

It was an example of my point, not a comparison of Tom Brady and Forrest Griffin. I figured someone would try to refute the point without actually addressing it. Phone Post

He's actually right. The UFC can make more money off of Forrest, it's as simple as that. If some random guy like Chad Mendes made some of the tweets Forrest has made, he'd be cut.

So you're saying Miguel Torres = Kamar Aiken??? Phone Post

Idk who that is lol. Sorry that my last post did not have a kind tone, though. Phone Post

Oh ok lol. I just think they decided Torres wasn't worth the trouble for how good he is. He didn't help his case with his fight in wsof either. Phone Post

Torres whining? NO WAY. Phone Post

This.

Torres should shut up.

Frank Mir says Miguel Torres is the p4p best tweeter

I'm all for a good rape joke but have some common sense. First, Miguel said his rape joke AFTER Forrest got in trouble for his. So knowing that Forest had to deal with that and do his sensitivity training or whatever the fuck he had to do and then saying a rape joke and expecting nothing is just retarded. Should he have been fired for it? Probably not but IMO he played with fire and got burned.

Second, like others have said, an anal sex joke does not equal a rape joke so I'm not sure what Torres is getting at with that.

Third, on the topic of rape (or even other sensitive issues) you (you=controversial sport barely out of its infancy) dont want to attract the wrong attention, i.e. rape prevention groups, anti-racism groups, LGBT or anyone else. Its always a bigger headache than its worth and if you're going to have people that are under contracts with you saying things on social media (which unfortunately masks the tone of what is said and dumbasses take things literally) like rape jokes its never going to turn out well. Even if they're tweeting something they saw on a tv show.

Torres and every other UFC figther should have taken notice when Forest had his rape joke incident and used their heads a little. Same thing with Rashad and his Penn State joke. It aint rocket science.

The way we think about free speech doesnt always fit with what it actually is.

Can anyone tell me if it's accurate or not that he made a 2nd rape joke on Twitter after being rehired by Zuffa? I distinctly remember it happening, but maybe I'm imagining things.

Griffin Queen ?@GriffinQ
@MiguelTorresMMA made a rape joke, got fired, got rehired, made another one. I didn't support your firing but you don't see the problem?

Miguel Angel Torres ?@MiguelTorresMMA
@GriffinQ you're a fucking retard, never made a second one.

Never mind, answered my own question

Guess I'm a fucking retard for remembering something that happened. I'm never one to shit talk fighters, and I don't try and stir shit up with people on Twitter, but apparently asking a question based on an actual event is off-limits....

doesn't really seem like a joke, seems like some solid advice.
and Miguel tweeted more than anyone else besides maybe Renzo he's bound to make a few distasteful tweets.
