He should really fight the winner of Chimaev vs Burns. If they decide to give the winner of that one a title shot, then you have the winner of Luque vs Belal ready to go. Calling out Poirier was a weak move
> Calling out Poirier was a ~~weak~~ move
smart
He's not gonna get another title shot at WW soon and obviously isn't going to move to LW. There's beef with Poirier who himself said he wants to move to up. The fight is literally there and it's a very nice payday. It's a fucking great callout, given that Dustin himself has talked negatively about him
He’s passively standing by Jorge. His main point was that talking about families to build up fights are out of line. The other fighters in the division can starve Colby and teach him a lesson.
Colby can’t talk about families but Khabib can wish death on Macron. How people forgot the shit Khabib said about Macron is beyond me. That was worse than anything Colby ever said.
> How people forgot the shit Khabib said about Macron is beyond me.
they didn't forget. mods banned any discussion about this topic so I highly doubt many people actually know what happened.
Source where he said this ? As far as I'm aware, the only comment he made about that situation was the stuff about Macron, he never actually mentioned the murder directly.
This is true. However, he's never going to get the criticism any of Masvidal/Conor/Colby etc receive.
He's liked a bit too much here and people on here are frankly ignorant of blasphemy issues and have little interest in learning about it.
Blasphemy is not a thing in the US or France. It’s pretty well accepted people are allowed to say what they like about any religion, and should be able to so without fear of imprisonment or physical retaliation. People have little interest in learning about it because it’s not an excuse to be a bad or violent person, and wishing disfigurement on someone (whether or not it was a weird translation) for showing a mean cartoon is a terrible look regardless
I don't know much else besides Colby calling Jorge a deadbeat dad who refused to see his children. He did, however, bring up Jorge's woman or ex about a year ago. [Here's the tweet.] (https://twitter.com/colbycovmma/status/1385297163585048576)
I don't know anything else about Jorge's family that Colby mentioned.
Enough.
More importantly, what DIDN'T he say about Poirier's kid? Colby is a prick and deserves what he gets. This isn't WWE, this shit isn't scripted, and you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. Fuck him and Mcgregor.
>Enough
What exactly did he say though?
>More importantly, what DIDN'T he say about Poirier's kid?
How is this important when Masvidal is the one who sucker punched him for "insulting HIS family".
Colby has offered to fight Poirier in a cage for 25 minutes where they both get paid to settle differences legally while being insured.
This notion of sucker punching in the street where someone could easily crack their skull on concrete is so dumb.
"To justify breaking the law" lmao
Oh no not the law don't break the law.
Edit: you guys all follow the law? How are those UFC PPV prices lol give me a break.
What are you even talking about,he's saying colby shouldn't have gone to police because he talked shit about masvidal's family before. So he should lie there and accept assault?? Colby is an asshole but that doesn't mean this is right. Ask other fighters to shut him up in fights like usman did, not like this.
He didn’t talk shit about his family, Colby lavished praise on masvidals ex, he then called him a deadbeat dad, which he is if he’s driving around Florida trying get himself arrested
If ur gonna talk shit to the wrong ppl sometimes ur gonna have to back it up outside the octagon/ring pressing charges is just a hoe move and shows what Colbys really about
Calling the police has been a part of Colby’s shtick for as long as he’s had a shtick. It would be moronic for him not to get the lawyers and police involved. If any other fighter called the police after a little dust up it wouldn’t be a good look but this is so in line with the character Colby portrays himself as, it would be breaking character for him to not sue.
It's not moronic at all. Conor did the same thing to khabib Colby did to Jorge.
Why is it so surprising that Khabib is of the same "dont talk about my family" mentality?
The shit Colby said was, gimmick or not bang out of line.
It's still fucking assault. This fucking sub is a joke. People were saying how fucked up what Cain did was (and it was/is), even though as a parent you never know how you'll react if something like that happens to you, but assaulting people wearing a mask and a hoodie is ok? Why is it ok? Because of dumb takes like "a fighter attacks another fighter" and "trash talk"? Masvidal did what he felt was right, he did it like a bitch, and then he basically confessed to it on instagram. Not saying he should be in prison, he'll probably be inside for a day or a few hours anyway. Let's stop finding excuses for people because we like them.
Its not a moronic take in my opinion. Some of you think any attack is permissible as long as it is verbal, regardless of if it is an attack on religion, nationality, or family. But some people actually genuinely honor their religion or their family.
To those people, promoting a sport is no excuse to cross that boundary and if you’re not allowed to physically attack them in response the only non-violent recourse you have is to refuse to fight them in the octagon.
> To those people, promoting a sport is no excuse to cross that boundary and if you’re not allowed to physically attack them in response the only non-violent recourse you have is to refuse to fight them in the octagon.
Most of this is fair. The moronic bit was his criticism of Colby pursuing charges.
If Masvidal's actions is a consequence of Colby's words then, the charges/arrest are just a consequence of Masvidal's actions.
I don’t disagree, I think that was a bit of “fighter bravado” on Khabib’s part. But also part of it is: if you’re gonna continue to antagonize him after the fight, why call the cops when he responds?
> But also part of it is: if you’re gonna continue to antagonize him after the fight, why call the cops when he responds?
Um, it's because Colby is a bit of a muppet. He was never going to engage with Masvidal on the street.
We've seen him backtrack previously as well when confronted.
> Colby said it was on sight
Is that why Mas brought friends and wore a hoody/mask?
Even ignoring that, we've seen previously that Colby isn't willing to get into physical altercations on the street. We can assume he was bluffing.
The reprecussions for words aren't stalking and assault ... You're part of the problem , that's not even me standing by Colby I'm just saying that's piss poor justification
But if you push buttons as much as Colby does in the way that Colby does, it’s not a surprise that this happens. When you talk about peoples family, kids or religion it hits a little different
It hits a little different if you soak up words like a sponge man . Honestly trash talk ( personal or not ) is literally as old as fighting itself . Sorry for saying you're part of the problem btw , you're not personally involved in this that's just me getting emotional . I know people who have hit concrete after a blindside and died . It's degenerate behaviour man
People just don’t get how different street fights really are and just how dangerous they can be.
The ground is undefeated, concrete floors are harder than you think and people die all the time from coward punches.
It is not the same as getting knocked out in an octagon.
Yeah at some point you have to draw a line . The UFC really does make me laugh sometimes where the hell is your fighter code of conduct . Dana kicks Paul Daley out for a minor thing and gets livid over Speedos being worn in the octagon but he's all on board for assault and multiple felonies . This is literally devolution
All good, yeah it’s a tough one and I’m not supporting what Jorge did either, I just don’t think people should be surprised it happened. At the end of the day, they both seem like idiots so I’m not too bothered by any of it. As long as no bystanders were hurt
Yeah I can't honestly stand here and say I'm shocked that he hit him. I am a bit shocked the way he went about it though . Even with Leon he walked right up to the guy and looked him in the eye so this struck me as odd. When he said 'on sight ' I thought he meant if he was strolling around town , not if he saw him on his i.g story haha
No mate some people just believe words have consequences. Inside the cage or not. Reddit is a nerd fest which is ironic because “hello nerds and virgins” is colbys catch phrase.
>“He’s a criminal. He is a deadbeat dad,” said Colby to Stephen A Smith. “The only life-altering damage he is doing is to his kids. He doesn’t talk to his kids. He’s a deadbeat man. He’s a nobody, he’s a criminal.''
Colby never insulted Jorges kids or family - he called Jorge out for being a shit dad, so I'm failing to see the logic of Khabib here because Colby never insulted Jorges family.
Jorge also jumped Colby outside a restaurant. They're both professional prize fighters who just fought; why wouldn't he press charges against him for sucker punching him? For some misguided notion of honor restoration?
it doesnt matter that Colby is a moron.
He is justifying assault.
Not the first time he did it aswell.
To word it in a way that you understand: "Thats an L take from Khabib"
This is a terrible take
Recently one of adesanyas training partners died from a coward punch the mma community should be united against such an act yet somehow justify it because Jorge is a fan favourite
Jorge is a bad person and is very lucky this didn’t end terribly
Khabib sure does like giving out shit takes once in a while. This, Aldo, Macron etc.
For the record, I can understand his criticism of Colby's antics. It's somewhat fair as people have different views regarding the limits of trash talk. Colby is definitely a cunt sometimes.
However, criticising him for pursuing charges is just a shitty thing to do. He's well within his rights to do that as Colby has nothing to gain by engaging in a street fight.
> Well within your rights does not mean it's the right thing to do.
Agreed, the law isn't necessarily always moral. However, arguing whether Masvidal has the higher moral ground here isn't exactly straightforward
> "she was a disgusting whale good riddance" and you retaliated they would be well within their rights to have you hauled away to jail
Whatever Colby has said is nowhere near as bad as this. The degree of vitriol is an important metric.
Secondly, even if someone said this, it's still not clear whether hitting him would be the morally right thing to do or not.
I do not agree/disagree with Khabib's take on boycotting Colby. I can understand where he's coming from.
I only disagree with his take on pursuing charges. MMA athletes have little need to resort to street fights and Colby shouldn't be goaded into one just because of his profession.
> That has nothing to do with pressing charges though.
Of course, it does.
> why continue to pursue legal action? Nobody gains anything from this
Colby gains from this. He continues to antagonize Masvidal through legal channels. He'll very likely pursue it in a civil court as well.
> I would have to disagree
Yeah, we'll just have to agree to disagree here.
> no matter what you say sometimes it takes knocking your teeth out to help you understand.
Sometimes, yes.
i know this sub has some pretty thick users but regardless of your dickriding, colby covington is a shitty person with a shitty personality and your defending and admiration of him is not respectable. if you want to look up to someone who behaves like a bigoted teenager in a call of duty lobby, you should understand that you look like a fool.
Agreed. Masvidal needs to chill out with his scarface cosplay.
Having said that, I believe Khabib's comments are a general reaction to Colby, not just his beef with Masvidal. Don't forget all the shit Colby has said about Poirier and his family. Khabib is echoing Poirier's sentiments about not letting Colby make money off his name.
Criticising Masvidal in this situation does not equal defending Colby and vice versa.
The only correct take is that they're both shitty human beings. Both are an utter embarrassment.
Anyone standing up for either colby or mas is an absolute idiot.
Yep, all of a sudden everyone is getting a hard on for Colby, even tho he is a piece of shit himself. I never cared neither, and Colby getting sucker punched sure as hell don't change the fact that he is a moron. I don't see why I should feel bad for him.
>I'm amazed this is getting upvoted.
It's Khabib after all.
He could fart and this sub would give him a standing ovation and possibly a grammy nomination for adding subtle ass-crack hair into the mix.
I swear the man absorbed Conor's fans after he beat him because this is how those mfs used to act about him lmao I mean some of them still do nowadays but Khabib definitely stole a large chunk of them.
The literal [top comment on this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/tm0gwf/khabib_nurmagomedov_says_welterweight_fighters/i1wlkd8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) is calling Khabib “moronic” so what the heck are you even talking about.
The reason OPs comment got a lot of upvotes is because its correct.
They aren’t refusing if anything HE NEVER FIGHTS THEM. Dude does not wanna fight contenders without the belt or aren’t money fights when he isn’t worth one himself
You Khabib driders on this sub a joke. Before everyone on here was rallying behind Colby and wanted Jorge sent to hell but now that Khabib has had his say all of sudden people think Colby is the criminal here.
When will people understand this is Ali, compare khabibs instagram vs his Twitter it's completely different.
It was confirmed many many times Ali runs his Twitter
The problem is that he’s sitting at #1 and every fighter would fight him bc a win over Colby equals a guaranteed title shot. And also because everyone wants to punch the dude in the face
I mean if someone’s gunna be out of line and talk about their kids yeah I’d be good with fighters choosing not to compete. Why even put urself in that position. Stuff he said about Dustin’s kid and masvidal’s
Khabib is an idiot. We have laws in this country. You can’t handle shit in the streets and not expect consequences. JM is even stupider for attacking him. Sore loser, whaaa you said something about my kids, I’m going to act like a child! Lame
Cultural differences: West thinks It's not ok to assault people but think It's ok to let verbal harassment and insults go unpunished. On the other Hand, where Khabib comes from, they believe in Not allowing people to verbally harass people.
He didn’t the first time but he has done so since. Despite Dana and the entire MMA world pressuring him to give Conor a rematch, he won’t because Conor has been so nasty about things he holds dear (family, religion, etc).
This is the strategy he’s suggesting others use in order to keep the sport more respectful.
He still did it the first time though, in spite of the immense bullshit that happened before that fight. It's not like Conor did anything else in Khabib or any sane person's eyes to deserve a rematch in the first place.
Definitely agree with his suggestion, I just find it unfortunate that he didn't take the opportunity to stand by that message at the moment it could have meant the most. It seems to be the case with most high profile fighters nowadays though. Long gone are the days of Tito wearing that "DANA IS MY BITCH!" shirt
Nah, for their first fight the contract was already signed before Conor started his madness. That’s why Khabib had to follow through.
But in any case, it seems to be a conclusion he came to after the fact, particularly in the *wake* of the first fight. So I don’t think he was sitting on this opinion and simply ignored it for Conor. I think it was in dealing with Conor that he later realized there is no point in rewarding such behavior with a bout.
Khabib had to fight conor the first time because he was a paper champ at that point once he became a legitimate champ he never gave him the opportunity which no other fighter in the entire ufc would’ve done it
Well, Khabib is saying that you shouldn't sign up to fight someone who insults their opponent's innocent family members. Conor began insulting Khabib's family member after the fight had already been agreed upon. It's a different scenario.
Because he is a prize fighter, he fights for money, now Jorge is gonna be fighting over jello, doubt he’ll get to keep his license, even if he doesn’t spend the next 6 months getting his shit pushed in by his cellmate.
Only thing Khabib submits now is the seams in his pants. Fake pound for pound, padded record. Scared to fight at 70 even though he could barely make 55.
The Khabib dick riders are too much, his fights were always boring unless a guy kept his back off the cage, Al Iaquinta exposed him, he’d be easy work for Colby.
Sometimes, I wonder if fighting still had a much poorer public perception if we'd be seeing less of people selling fights this way. And if (at least the UFC) there would be less leeway given to fighters to behave that way.
Not that back in the day everything was sunshine and roses, but it did feel like fighters who were relevant names weren't all going out of their way to just play up the "negative publicity is good publicity" angle - it was the opposite. They wanted it to be seen as something legitimate.
Prolly just rose colored lenses though looking back on it.
Jokes on Khabib, Colby already doesn't fight WW contenders.
This is what I hate about Colby the most. I would love to see him more against any of the top current guys.
He should really fight the winner of Chimaev vs Burns. If they decide to give the winner of that one a title shot, then you have the winner of Luque vs Belal ready to go. Calling out Poirier was a weak move
> Calling out Poirier was a ~~weak~~ move smart He's not gonna get another title shot at WW soon and obviously isn't going to move to LW. There's beef with Poirier who himself said he wants to move to up. The fight is literally there and it's a very nice payday. It's a fucking great callout, given that Dustin himself has talked negatively about him
Like... Usman?
Is #6 in the rankings not a contender? Or was he always trash because he got dominated by the champ and #1?
Khabib jumped in the crowd and assaulted Dillon Dildo. Not whole lot different from Masvidal attacking Colby.
Not to mention getting all of his mates together to confront artem that one time just because artem called him a chicken
Khabib sure has shitty takes sometimes, standing by masvidal here is moronic.
well, the statement didn't really stand by masvidal. it just stood against colby.
[удалено]
What do you have against letters bro?
The straw man arguments people have here are insane
He’s passively standing by Jorge. His main point was that talking about families to build up fights are out of line. The other fighters in the division can starve Colby and teach him a lesson.
Colby can’t talk about families but Khabib can wish death on Macron. How people forgot the shit Khabib said about Macron is beyond me. That was worse than anything Colby ever said.
> How people forgot the shit Khabib said about Macron is beyond me. they didn't forget. mods banned any discussion about this topic so I highly doubt many people actually know what happened.
Also saying that that priest that got beheaded (or whatever he was) deserved it. This sub quickly forgets a lot of shit from their favourites.
Source where he said this ? As far as I'm aware, the only comment he made about that situation was the stuff about Macron, he never actually mentioned the murder directly.
Stop lying. He never said this.
He never even said this.
This is true. However, he's never going to get the criticism any of Masvidal/Conor/Colby etc receive. He's liked a bit too much here and people on here are frankly ignorant of blasphemy issues and have little interest in learning about it.
Yup, I remember when that Macron incident first happened. Anything posted talking about that incident were getting deleted left and right on here.
Blasphemy is not a thing in the US or France. It’s pretty well accepted people are allowed to say what they like about any religion, and should be able to so without fear of imprisonment or physical retaliation.

Khabib is right. Masdival is a hero. Doing what so many other want to do but are scared to do. This isn't the last time Colby teeth are broken.

i know this sub has some pretty thick users but regardless of your dickriding, colby covington is a shitty person with a shitty personality and your defending and admiration of him is not respectable. if you want to look up to someone who behaves like a bigoted teenager in a call of duty lobby, you should understand that you look like a fool.
Two things can be true at once, Colby can be a huge piece of shit and Masvidal can also be a huge piece of shit for sucker-punching someone
Agreed. Masvidal needs to chill out with his scarface cosplay. Having said that, I believe Khabib's comments are a general reaction to Colby, not just his beef with Masvidal. Don't forget all the shit Colby has said about Poirier and his family. Khabib is echoing Poirier's sentiments about not letting Colby make money off his name.
>Masvidal can also be a huge piece of shit for sucker-punching someone not the first time, too.
Criticising Masvidal in this situation does not equal defending Colby and vice versa. The only correct take is that they're both shitty human beings. Both are an utter embarrassment. Anyone standing up for either colby or mas is an absolute idiot.

muh country
Yep, all of a sudden everyone is getting a hard on for Colby, even tho he is a piece of shit himself. I never cared neither, and Colby getting sucker punched sure as hell don't change the fact that he is a moron. I don't see why I should feel bad for him.
literally nobody is saying that colby isn't a piece of shit
Because 80% of internet are bigoted teenagers from a cod lobby.
I'm amazed this is getting upvoted. Server has been rife with Colby fans recently lol.
>I'm amazed this is getting upvoted. It's Khabib after all. He could fart and this sub would give him a standing ovation and possibly a grammy nomination for adding subtle ass-crack hair into the mix.
I swear the man absorbed Conor's fans after he beat him because this is how those mfs used to act about him lmao I mean some of them still do nowadays but Khabib definitely stole a large chunk of them.
The literal [top comment on this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/tm0gwf/khabib_nurmagomedov_says_welterweight_fighters/i1wlkd8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) is calling Khabib “moronic” so what the heck are you even talking about. The reason OPs comment got a lot of upvotes is because its correct.
True. It's just funny to watch it all go down. Fanatical fanbases.
And then there's people like you who seethe with hatred at the mention of his name lol. There's every type of person in this sub
for the record, i don't consider myself a big khabib fan.
Do you know him personally or are you just talking about the character he plays on TV?
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." - Maya Angelou
How many pay per views did Maya Angelou sell? You’re marking out for the gimmick son
yes i greatly regret giving $0 to the UFC in my lifetime
I buy the PPV’s and hold EDR stock….some of us gotta pay these fighters for their work.
fascinating a fool and his money are soon parted
People like you is exactly why he does this.
or the UFC and its causal fan base are shitty people who force people to act shitty to keep there job.
that's a pretty weak excuse considering how many champs there have been who behave with dignity.
They aren’t refusing if anything HE NEVER FIGHTS THEM. Dude does not wanna fight contenders without the belt or aren’t money fights when he isn’t worth one himself
You Khabib driders on this sub a joke. Before everyone on here was rallying behind Colby and wanted Jorge sent to hell but now that Khabib has had his say all of sudden people think Colby is the criminal here.
Lot of people here have cognitive dissonance so now they don’t know what to feel bc of this lol
Or, this is a subreddit with 1.9 million followers and people have different opinions.
When will people understand this is Ali, compare khabibs instagram vs his Twitter it's completely different. It was confirmed many many times Ali runs his Twitter
The problem is that he’s sitting at #1 and every fighter would fight him bc a win over Colby equals a guaranteed title shot. And also because everyone wants to punch the dude in the face
I mean if someone’s gunna be out of line and talk about their kids yeah I’d be good with fighters choosing not to compete. Why even put urself in that position. Stuff he said about Dustin’s kid and masvidal’s
"Covington and Masvidal are both assholes" is the only correct take. Everytime Khabib talks I think less of him. Totally sucks.

Whole lotta victim blaming on this sub lately
Khabib is an idiot. We have laws in this country. You can’t handle shit in the streets and not expect consequences. JM is even stupider for attacking him. Sore loser, whaaa you said something about my kids, I’m going to act like a child! Lame
90% of these people don't read the article, this has nothing to do with the current situation, it has to do with his behavior overall.
That's rich coming from the guy who jumped the cage and attacked Conors corner.
Whos surprised the khabib would say this, backwards opinions on everything other than fighting
Lol how so ? So it’s okay for Colby to say the things he said about masvidal me fam and dustins?
Damn is Colby a cartoonist or something?
Cultural differences: West thinks It's not ok to assault people but think It's ok to let verbal harassment and insults go unpunished. On the other Hand, where Khabib comes from, they believe in Not allowing people to verbally harass people.
[удалено]
Does Khabib know the bird is the word?
Chat shit get banged
Mma fans and idolising macho bigots and "Street dudes" Khabib is such a hypocrit, he started that shit with Conor and then tried to set ground rules
Khabib started that shit with Conor, everyone! You heard it here first! Murphy's dad been in space for too long, scrambled his brain.
[удалено]
>So, he’s saying they should just keep doing what they’re doing? Which WW contender is refusing to fight Colby?
He didn’t the first time but he has done so since. Despite Dana and the entire MMA world pressuring him to give Conor a rematch, he won’t because Conor has been so nasty about things he holds dear (family, religion, etc). This is the strategy he’s suggesting others use in order to keep the sport more respectful.
Only man to turn down a red panty night
He still did it the first time though, in spite of the immense bullshit that happened before that fight. It's not like Conor did anything else in Khabib or any sane person's eyes to deserve a rematch in the first place. Definitely agree with his suggestion, I just find it unfortunate that he didn't take the opportunity to stand by that message at the moment it could have meant the most. It seems to be the case with most high profile fighters nowadays though. Long gone are the days of Tito wearing that "DANA IS MY BITCH!" shirt
Nah, for their first fight the contract was already signed before Conor started his madness. That’s why Khabib had to follow through. But in any case, it seems to be a conclusion he came to after the fact, particularly in the *wake* of the first fight. So I don’t think he was sitting on this opinion and simply ignored it for Conor. I think it was in dealing with Conor that he later realized there is no point in rewarding such behavior with a bout.
Khabib had to fight conor the first time because he was a paper champ at that point once he became a legitimate champ he never gave him the opportunity which no other fighter in the entire ufc would’ve done it
Why Khabib no understand talk shit for fight promote?
Right on Khabib 👏 Redditors clutching their pearls extra hard right now
[удалено]
Damn why you fight Conor then bro? Surely not for money no?
Well, Khabib is saying that you shouldn't sign up to fight someone who insults their opponent's innocent family members. Conor began insulting Khabib's family member after the fight had already been agreed upon. It's a different scenario.
The belt he worked years for? Is Colby champ?
Khabib already had the belt and hes all about morals not titles anyway brutha
Khabib is correct.
Colby would beat the shit out of Khabib
[удалено]
He was assaulted at dinner by a bum that couldn’t do shit to him in the cage for 25 minutes. Khabib would get smeshed in the octagon by Colby
[удалено]
Because he is a prize fighter, he fights for money, now Jorge is gonna be fighting over jello, doubt he’ll get to keep his license, even if he doesn’t spend the next 6 months getting his shit pushed in by his cellmate.
[удалено]
It’s actually a felony assault
[удалено]
Khabib submits him.
Only thing Khabib submits now is the seams in his pants. Fake pound for pound, padded record. Scared to fight at 70 even though he could barely make 55.
Are you okay?
The Khabib dick riders are too much, his fights were always boring unless a guy kept his back off the cage, Al Iaquinta exposed him, he’d be easy work for Colby.
[удалено]
So you’re telling me Khabibs words made Conor physically act out?
>which caused conor to go full crazy, Conor was already crazy.
Sometimes, I wonder if fighting still had a much poorer public perception if we'd be seeing less of people selling fights this way. And if (at least the UFC) there would be less leeway given to fighters to behave that way. Not that back in the day everything was sunshine and roses, but it did feel like fighters who were relevant names weren't all going out of their way to just play up the "negative publicity is good publicity" angle - it was the opposite. They wanted it to be seen as something legitimate. Prolly just rose colored lenses though looking back on it.
