Maybe I was mistaken there @matkodurko , possibly by Khabibs' statement when he apologised for the brawl where he stated
"“I’m a human, what about he talked about my religion, my country, my father, he come to Brooklyn and broke bus, almost killed a couple of people, what about this shit"
was what skewed my memory.
Even though Conors' instagram post where he called Khabibs dad a coward could have been taken as a slur on Khabibs religion it could be easily argued that it wasn't a direct slur on Islam. It almost certainly was taken as an insult on religion by Khabib as the insult made a reference to mosque.
”The Chechen people know what I’m talking about when I called this man a coward,” McGregor said. “When I called his father a quivering coward. Him and Kadyrov were at a mosque together, and he posts a picture of Kadirov on his Instagram. Kadirov’s the Chechen dictator, a crazy man, don’t get me wrong. But, Khabib’s father, lick-ass O’Hoolihan, posts a picture of Kadirov at his mosque and the caption is, ‘Together we are stronger.’”
So anyway, I still think Mcgregor is an Asshat. Our kids don't need arseholes for role models. A whole generation of kids are now growing up and becoming adults with idea that being a disrespectful rude arrogant prick is the best way to get on in the world because of his antics.
Yeah that one was on the border..but still not directly talking about islam..I was afraid he'd spill the whiskey on Khabib, that would suck.
Well yeah, the new post Mayweather Conor is not the best role model. But I "got to know" him during rise where altho he was cocky, his interviews about hard work, believing in yourself, law of attraction etc etc etc were just suuuperinspiring.. and trashtalk was hard but funny and mostly related to fighting skills anyway...I deffo liked that conor more..at the end of the day, this analysis shows the same.
