Let me tell you about this guy named Dave Bergel that writes for OnMilwaukee.com. He's one of these guys that loves to write uninformed articles about MMA and I'm the idiot that loves to read them. We have a symbiotic relationship like those little birds that follow elephants around just to eat their dung. I hate that I'm giving this guy more press than he probably received on the 'OnMilwaukee,' but whenever someone writes the sentence 'But there are sports that women play where the game is drastically different than the men's game. And the difference is because of the difference between the sexes,' it needs to be addressed. Check out this excerpt of Bergel's reactionary article after seeing UFC 157 while I open my empty fridge in anticipation that something new is inside it.

The UFC thing is a transparent gimmick. Forget for a moment that MMA is a gruesome display of unbridled violence egged on by a crowd of rabid bloodlusters. It is a sport (and I use that term loosely) where pandering is an advantage to building its popularity.

And the fight between Rousey and Carmouche is pandering to our basest beliefs.

Think about it: Put two women in scanty clothes into a locked room (the octagon), let them take off after each other and and roll around on the ground, legs locked together and sweat dripping off each of them. Sound like some kind of porn? Of course, and it plays into the fantasy of lots and lots of men.

It almost makes you wonder what else they can do. Will UFC stage a bout between Rouse and a man who is in her weight class? It would be ten times more absurd than the King-Riggs match.

As difficult as it may be to believe, there are sports that are good for women to play and some that, if they are going to play, ought to just be against women.

I love women playing tennis, golf, skiing, skating, gymnastics soccer and even softball. Those sports, when played by women, retain the essence of the sport, regardless of gender.

But there are sports that women play where the game is drastically different than the men's game. And the difference is because of the difference between the sexes. Basketball and hockey come to mind, as well as boxing, wrestling and baseball.

Women's groups have long been active in fighting the exploitation of women. This UFC farce ought to be their next target. It is extreme exploitation.

Don't you hate it when you open your fridge and stand in front of it, scanning every possible cabinet for anything besides half-bottles of aging condiments? That's congruent to Dave Bergel's uninformed article on women and the UFC. I read the entire thing, scanned it for any coherent content but I could find nothing. Just an article filled with bottles of emotional condiments that, of course, need to be thrown in the trash.

At first I thought it was just satire, but wow...fuck you, old people.

I'd love to see him say any of that to the face of a female athlete in any of those sports.

(To be clear: I in no way condone any support of the WNBA, but seriously...fuc k that guy.)

What a sexist self important jerk off. As long as HE thinks women have a place in certain sports, well its setteled. Good thing he thinks women should vote or not be considered property. As a father, if that guy tried telling my daughter what she could or couldn't do, I would happily show him what MMA feels like up close and personal.

Also, if they were trying to exploit women, wouldn't they have put a better looking fighter against Rousey? Waterson maybe? Half the women fighters look like dudes anyway. That Faber chick isn't half bad looking though.

Looking at Ronda outside of the cagae, its easy to see how someone might think that the UFC is trying to exploit her looks.

Then you watch her fight. If you think there is anything erotic about watching her fight, you either have some issues or need to go see a dominatrix.

And who says women can't play basketball or hockey? I'd love to see this old fuck play 1 on 1 with Brittany Griner or Maya Moore.
