A place to discuss MMA for all 3 of its fans who identify as left-of-center.

Rules:

  1. No conservative bullshit.
  2. Posts must relate to MMA.
  3. All orgs okay: UFC, LFA, etc.

It's not a total surprise to constantly see the glorification of conservatives and Trump in UFC events, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one with a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoy MMA, have participated and been a fan for a while, and interestingly enough it's one of the spaces where I think politics make everything worse, especially as polarized as people are these days.

There are dozens of us!

In all seriousness, when I started making videos about this, I noticed a LOT more people receptive to it than I realized. It made me realize that there were entire communities out there for this. On reddit, it was MMAPoliticsAndCulture that was mostly left-leaning. Here, it's us.

The reality is that sure, it's a majority conservative. But not by a ton. The dems/libs/leftists are just quiet because who the hell wants to talk to conservatives when you're trying to enjoy a sport?
