It was a joke people! He did not even mean he wanted to fight Obama. It was obviously a joke and he was not being serious. He didn't know who to call out so he just said Obama. idiots.
I always wonder who these threads are directed towards, it's not like this board doesn't read the same news every other poster is reading.
I lol'd when I read this article. What an embarassment for the state of the union.
I typically vote Republican, but I am not a fan of Volkmann's comments. It's sad that he has attracted so much attention. His behavior does not benefit the growth of the sport.
Not surprising given the current situation in AZ.

Not just people. The guy went with the intention of assassinating politician Gabrielle Giffords. Please watch or read the news before spewing crap throught the keyboard.
I respect Volkmann as a fighter, but name some countries where the response would be less severe? It does not surprise me that he got some flack for his unprofessional comments.

Threatening the President is a felony whether you're "joking" or not.
