Diaz Suspended for 5 years

"Granted, that kind of suspension for pot is silly, but if the rules say don't do it, you don't do it, period. If the rules say don't wear a blue hat, and you get fined and suspended because you continue to wear blue hats again and again, I have no pity for you, because silly as a no blue hat rule may be, it was still a rule."

[It's silly, but....(and then you sound like an officious turd)....I have no pity for you.] [Rules are rules.]

To me, that's being dense. The punishment should fit the offense and no amount of pot violations warrants 5 years. It's only magnified when you look at their kid gloves treatment of PEDs.

 

Was there a 'do this again and you will be suspended for 5 years' warning?

 

Again, my point isn't that the punishment is fitting the crime, my point was the commission makes the rules, and if he wants to fight, he has to abide by them.

Many years ago while I was going to school, I worked for a short time for a company doing phone sales. One of the rules of the place was a dress code. I had to wear dress pants, a button down shirt and a tie. It was a retarded rule because everything was done by phone and customers never saw us. I could've been wearing nothing but a sombrero and a fake mustache, and nobody would've known, but we were required to wear a shirt and tie. Now if I showed up to work in jeans and a T-shirt, I probably would've been sent home. If I continued to do it, I eventually would've been fired, even though the dress code was silly, pointless and didn't effect my work in any way. But the company made the rules for me, not the other way around. And if I was dumb enough to keep breaking the rules, as silly as they are, I'd deserve whatever punishment was bestowed on me.

But Diaz has always enjoyed being a victim.

I hate rules like that. My last job in Florida had a dress code. Why should a software engineer who doesn't interact with customers be required to wear dress clothes?

I wore uncomfortable clothes when I was there, then I found a job in California where no one cares what you wear. No one cares if you get high either, as long as you aren't high at work and you're doing your job well.

 

Silly suspension. It's just excessive regardless of the rules or the fact that it's Nick Diaz.

 

Did you see the Gomi fight? He was ranked as the #1 lightweight in the world until that fight. You'd think someone in the UFC would get a gogoplata win, at some point, out of all the great BJJ guys in the UFC.

 

Yeah, I saw an exhausted Gomi dive head first into a gogo. How many years ago was that again?

I say it's not a PED. I've been getting high on weed and taking actual PEDs for years now. Weed for the last 19 years, steroids for the last 11. Getting high on marijuana, whether you smoke it or vape it or eat it, it's not a PED. It's a pleasant and indulgent feeling. One of the good things in life, like drinking a beer or having a glass of wine. It is not like injecting testosterone or other hormones that make you stronger as an athlete.

 

sorry for going off topic, but what's the name of that stubble groomer shave thing you use?

 

The i-stubble. It's like an electric razor where you can adjust the length of the hair instead of shaving close. I always had problems with skin irritation from shaving. I haven't actually shaved since I got this a few years ago.

 

thanks. couldn't find it so i bought a philips stubble trimmer 3000. pretty good.
