Thats fucking ridiculous to cut him for that. I hope dana gets raped.
That tweet WAS funny.
I really like Dana when he just says what he thinks and calls Loretta a dumb bitch. That's why I can't understand wtf happened with the Torres thing. Why the fuck would Dana get intimidated by some woman rights activists and cut Miguel for a joke??

"Dont fucking cuss on fucking tv" or something to that effect. Hes says hes not, but that shits bs, they are in the big leagues now. Dana and the UFC dont have shit on what fox lawyers could do to them, I vote dana tapped out to fox pressure.
"Rape is the new missionary"
Tweet from Forrest Griffin.
Still employed.
Yeah possible that Fox pressured him, didn't think of that. I just hope it was the right decision for the UFC to go with Fox.
Dana white responds

I doubt FOX had anything to do with this. The Rape-van is joke taken from, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," a sitcom shown on FX, which is the new home for The Ultimate Fighter, and UFC Fight night. FX is a huge part of the FOX deal. It is also Lorenzo's favorite channel because of their cutting edge original programming.Quote:

It's pretty obvious that Miguel's intention with the tweet was not malicious, unlike what Dana said to Loretta Hunt. Miguel didn't commit a crime, as others in the organization have. It was a dumb joke done in poor taste. There's no way he was promoting the act of rape. If Dana was so offended by Miguel's tweet, then why not ask him to do some work with real rape victim organizations and raise awareness to the cause. That would do more good than simply cutting ties with the guy. This is so hypocritical, even for Dana.
I think a formal apology would've been enough. Getting cut is a little too much.
it was dumb of him. not everyone who reads his tweets watch always sunny. i love the show, but i don't remember that line. so if i read that tweet. then he's just a creepy sicko. and that's what happened. i don't know if things would be different if he used quotes and sourced always sunny in his tweet. but the way he did it is enough to get fired. and about dana's rant about hunt, that was obviously in the heat of the moment. and if you think it's unfair that dana can rant like that and keep his job, well tough balls. that's what happens when you're the boss and you don't have a board of directors to answer to.
