“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
I haven’t read every post here but I certainly am not too serious about it. It’s amusing. And they aren’t great. Is what it is.
Are you the strong silent type? No need to bitch and moan about every little thing in life but if you never say a word about anything that sucks then you’ll just take it for your entire life.
Also, this forum is 80% dead. If we can’t complain about bad UFC stuff there’d be nothing left.
Have you seen me post? lol I’m opinionated as fuck and not quiet about it.
I’m trying to be better at not bitching about what “sucks” without the education, knowledge or experience to make it credible.
Seems like there are a lot of critics who have no business being one…the old saying, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they’re full of shit
I mean, that is one take. And I applaud your efforts to be better.
I get your point in certain cases but there’s nothing more asinine than that person who claims you can’t say anything ever about anything if you haven’t done it yourself.
Like seriously, do I have to be a professional musician to recognize a bad performance too?
Can I criticize my shit Prime Mijister or is that off limits because I’ve never lead a country?
Context matters, I mean for politicians, that shit directly impacts your way of life so to agree or disagree with policy isn’t quite the same.
For musicians or art there are objectives for sure, but to walk around spewing what you think sucks…is fucking stupid…the amount of arrogance it takes to think someone gives a flying fuck what you don’t like is high. People start threads about how this band or person sucks all the time…fucking dumb.
What’s bad is those threads outnumber the ones where people really like something and want to share it because that leaves yourself open, …people have no issue telling you that your taste sucks but rarely open themselves up in the other, positive direction.
That’s what I’m trying to avoid doing, if I don’t like something, unless it’s an objective, educated reason…why shit on someones cereal?
The thing that annoys me most about any commentators is that they can’t seem to have any dead air. They HAVE to talk even when it’s not really needed. It’s like the producers can’t stand for there to be even one second that doesn’t have a commentator’s voice on it. Then you have to add in the silly advertisements they’ve started throwing out, and it’s terrible.
I also hate the damn pop ups they’ve started showing during the fight. I’m trying to watch the fight; i don’t want to read what some journalist had to say about the previous round.
Looked like it to me too, but I don’t think he’d have just woken up and kept going like nothing if that was actually the case. I’m sorry your favorite transgender favela prostitute got beat.
Rogan is comfortable and comfortable people are never as good at their jobs. He is comfortable because of the insane amount of money he has made from his podcast which set his family up for generations, and comfortable because he knows BLAF will never fire him. He used to be good at his job, now he is just a caricature of himself. DC hangs on Rogan’s nuts and just repeats everything he says or at the very least agrees with everything he says which makes him terrible and Rogan even more annoying.
It’s old school fans like us that have heard Rogan say everything 100 times that have Joe fatigue…l am the same way when l listen to JRE and he goes on a rant he has said a bunch of times before…where’s the off button.
Newbs and casuals want Joe because he has become part of the Ufc experience.
