Looks like a good time was had by all.

Sure does. Great picture and a classy act by Ms. Rousey.

[Don Hernando de Las Casas]

Didn’t she endorse Bernie Sanders?

[ifinnegan]

Who’d Gorgeous George go with?

[gaijin]

He was the original inspiration for Muhammed Ali...!

I watched the fight between Rousey and Holm.

Rousey refused to bump gloves before the beginning of the match.

It was part of her ‘tough girl’ act. Bet she changes that.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Like.

[sauropod]

Does that endorsement change the fact that she kept her word to the Marine in a classy way?

[bramps]

Didn't she endorse Bernie Sanders?

That's what too many kicks and punches to the head will do to a person.

[sauropod]

Hope so.

I’m not a fan of the sport. But any star of a sport has the responsibility of being a good role model for the younger generation.

[normbal]

So she’s batting .500 politically. She’s still young, and very likely brain-damaged...

But any star of a sport has the responsibility of being a good role model for the younger generation.

No more or less than any moral and responsible adult.

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

[Don Hernando de Las Casas]

It’s just that when a person hates my guns, my nation, my property and my freedom, it should never be forgotten or forgiven. It makes her a grotesque monster. Endorsing an ideology that murdered 100,000,000 people in less than a century is a sickening crime in itself, and it is not cute, as I’m sure she believes.

[Ajnin]

She is clueless. You don’t get to the level in sport that she is in by being a political sage..lol

[TruthWillWin]

She’s a boxer?

[jjotto]

She's a boxer?

Judging by her performance against one, the answer is 'no'.

[sauropod]

I’m not disagreeing, but to slime the gracious act she did is to slime that Marine.

I see from your sign on date that you are relatively new here.

Welcome to FR!

[UCANSEE2]

I think Rousey , as well as Holm, have been 2 of the best role models for women in the sport.

Rousey’s refusal to bump gloves was just part of her ‘shtick’.

Her ‘music’ choice (when entering the stadium floor) was the same thing.

TOUGH GIRL. And it was working well, until she got her various body parts kicked so hard she went unconscious.

She may have to come up with a ‘new tune’.

[Darksheare]

“but to slime the gracious act she did is to slime that Marine.”

No it isn’t.
When someone espoused love for communism and hatred for my rights, it is the correct thing to be wary of their motivations.
Remember, many of the Third Reich were also patrons of art.
Knocking their politics does not in any way reflect on those artists anymore than knocking Ronda’s politics reflect on the Marine.

[Defiant]

Hope they didn’t serve corn on the cob.
