Gable will always be a huge “what if” story to me…. Dude could have been a 3 or 4 time Olympic Champ if he just would have stuck with wrestling. A true prodigy in a weight class where the athletes tend to have long careers.

Gable will always be a huge “what if” story to me as well…. Dude could have been a 3 or 4 decade inmate of the Minnesota State Correctional Facility if they just would have struck an archaic legal loophole off the books centuries ago which allowed rapists to be exonerated if the courts determined that a rape victim was to blame for their own rape if they willfully consumed too much alcohol to be able to say “no”.

Not enough money in it, and I blame WWE.

Can you imagine if the Harlem Globetrotters made 20x more money than NBA?

Cause thats wwe pay vs olympic champ pay. It's shameful, and almost never talked about.

Thanks for bringing it up. I did the same on one of the mma forums and had the "what was she wearing" crowd emerge from the woodwork.

The sounds like r/ufc behaviour to me.

Smaller sub, but the sick fuck picked the right fanbase to attach himself to. Jon Jones fans are used to defending men who assault women.

Can you source the evidence for this? Asking sincerely. I don’t have a counter argument just asking for what you have seen that makes you say what you did

Same disgusting values as his mentor, not surprising.

Does doing one rape make you a rapist ?

What do you think the answer to the question is?

u/Clay_Allison_44 18h ago

Yes. Doing it a lot makes someone a serial rapist.

I guess so, for now, rapist sounds like you have to do it more than once though
