Maybe itās more about the federal govt that didnāt and hasnāt enacted a consistent plan. Itās basically said to the governors, you figure it out!

I just realized the year date of 3020. Jeezā¦ My phone calendar only goes to 2036. So much for marking the date.
Anyone else laugh at the irony that the person supporting these events through this pandemic has a Roman Reigns picture as their avatar?

Deezy deserves the hate he gets sometimes, but he didnāt deserve to be banned. There is nothing wrong with him wanting the events to take place. I know for me, Iāve been working still. Iāve been stressed and depressed over the last month and AEW in particular has given me some freedom of that.
A lot of people come here for entertainment/escape, which is very important these days. And he seemed to intentionally try to disrupt that for years now going back to the LAW board. So I get it.

He was being a piece of shit to Alex - and kept egging him on.
Iām not always in agreement of Alexās takes on wrestling - but Deezy was being very shitting, and clearly antagonizing him. And given what Alex has been doing on a daily basis in real life, and dealing with the realities of this pandemic - thatās not cool at all.
Deezy has been a long time shit disturber - and I think for many, he crossed a line in this instance.
This had nothing to do with him wanting shows to happen. This had to do with him not being able to show empathy, or basic respect to another human.

This is it.
It felt like the tone of this place changed when he started posting again. Everything he says is just kinda shitty.
I did put him on ignore, so either way it was fine with me.
But I think the ban was more to do with the joke he made and not so much wanting ufc to happen.
EDIT
Posted this before I saw the one from Mark. He says it better.

Hi
I completely understand where you are coming from. There are going to be people who like having a show to watch as way to unwind and return to some sense of normalcy and those that wonāt. If he simply wanted the show to go on (like you) there is zero issue here. What you said is totally cool.
By far the hardest thing about working in a COVID ICU isnāt my concern if I will get it or if I have enough PPE. Right now, families drop off someone at the ER and then they canāt see them again until they either leave hospital or pass away. I have to call scared families every day and tell them how itās going not well often and all they want to do is come in and I have to say no. In the past 48H we had three deaths - calling people to say someone is gone that they havenāt been able to see in a week that walked into hospital is gut wrenching.
Other times I am calling to say they are sick but unfortunately we canāt offer them a ventilator and they will pass away.
Yet, each and every person I call - whether itās good news or bad news or the worst news - will always at the end thank me and my team. Itās honestly made me cry more than I have in along time - hearing people at the height of their pain thank us for being here and trying is very emotional.
Itās shown me the best in humanity. Faith I havenāt had in a long time.
I am going to remove doctors from this since we go into patient rooms much more limited - but the nurses and RTs are real heroes here. They honestly go in there many times a day and often as is evident in NYC without proper PPE. If we run out most docs will spend money and buy their own - nurses and RTs donāt have that kind of spare money. Iāve seen fear in the eyes of my nurses that I havenāt seen in 10 years. Yet they push forward and do an amazing job. They work under immense stress, they talk to families multiple times a day, and they are often the people sitting with patients as they die. Because their families canāt and Doctors have too many patients.
So coming here and seeing someone antagonizing people then comparing promoters as heroes etc after this just really didnāt sit well. It didnāt help ther two patients died that day and one sent a massive gift card to the nursing staff as a thank you we cried about. It was a tough day and Maybe I overreacted to his antics. I
I too like to come here and talk wrestling and MMA at a time like this. Whether you choose to watch these shows or not - this isnāt the time to be a jerk.
Imagine if I can compare to 9-11. If I came on after when Vince held the first show (pretend it was as controversial as this was because there was still an ongoing terrorist risk). Some people would support the show, others would be against it. If I came on and started comparing Vince as a hero to a firefighter would that be cool? Imagine someone who knows a FF or works with them or knew one that died in NYC - not only is it not funny but itās downright insensitive.
This virus is real - it has killed more people than 9-11 in NYC. Health care workers are being infected, the public is scared and people are dying. They are dying alone without any family around when they were healthy a week earlier.
Literally I get emails from people that I canāt share in the wrestling and MMA world that are scared for themselves and their families asking for advice. Itās not a joke.
So while I believe in freedom of speech and being able to voice your opinion and completely understand and have no negative feelings towards anyone who wants to see some sports on TV, you donāt have to come on here and act like a jerk and minimize the work the nurses are doing by comparing them to someone trying to make a buck on a MMA show.
Anyway I hope everyone is safe. We will get through this together it will be a lot easier if we are just nicer to each other.
I really forward to being able to grab a drink and maybe having a POST meet up sometime in the future when this is hopefully behind us. And if someone knows him And wants to invite him Iāll even pay for his drink

Thank you for all you are doing Alex. Every Thursday at 8PM in the UK - the whole country stand outside our homes and just clap for the health workers. I hope the whole world does something similar. What you and your colleagues are doing is amazing.
Dont justify yourself for anything. He was being a dick and deserved to be told.

I banned him because I felt he was taking away rather than contributing to the forums. I donāt really feel any need to justify it beyond that.

Can someone do the math (cause Iām really bad at it): how much money will UFC lose if they buy an island, built an airport and flight fighters on private jets to fight in the UFC Thunderdome there vs how much money will they lose from the TV deal they have and are (supposedly) doing this for?
One PPV is worth at the minimum 15 million in ESPN revenue alone.
And now it is canceled. Sounds like ESPN/Disney told Dana not to do it. Good.
