Slightly ironic that the great part of being American is you can call a grown man whatever he wants BUT don't you dare insinuate he should be better morally. Huh...
Yea, whatever. Where I come from (40 yrs ago since I’m now a dinosaur), a lot of guys called others a lot of things. Millworkers, ironworkers, and autoworkers probably didn’t have the best morals, but I’m pretty sure “be better” would’ve caused an instant ear cuff/face slap response.

My morals probably aren’t the best, but I treat people fairly and don’t think I’m better than anyone.

Braeden has no one to be pissed at but himself. He spent at least 3 minutes having his head pushed backwards with one hand and he did absolutely nothing about it. He had no business losing that match, and yet he did. Then he gets all pissy.
Agree. He'd not mean enough. He should have grabbed an arm and twisted it or poked his fingers into the guy's eyes and then said "I'm sorry".

Yea you're not saying anything we don't know. It's still that way and it doesn't bother me. The difference is generally when anonymous people say things they'd never say in person. You can call your buddy or coworker a pole smoker all day long. You know them. You see them. Either way, let's go Pe n State!

No, simply block the arm and get into some under hooks. He wasted about 3 minutes allowing that bs.

Stop with the “be better” already. It’s pretentious and insinuates you are “better.”

Maybe the dude was dictating and “Gabe” became “Gay,” or maybe he meant to say/type that. Either way, the great thing about being American is the ability to call a grown man whatever you want.
You're not even aware of the incredible irony (dare I say hypocrisy) of your own post.

Technically true, and plausible. Nevertheless, being an American also presupposes having a modicum of grace and class. So…just what is your nationality?
Ha. Born and raised in the U.S. of A.

I’m not so sure being American presupposes anything. Especially since the founding fathers gave us the exact opportunity to

He did or the official? I get one every minute but we talking like 20 over a match while never taking a shot. If they were legal why did the official talk to Sawyer after Davis finally retaliated?

Because he actually hit Braeden in the face.
