If the fight was on FoxSports. would Bill have done the same segment? Doubt it. Where’s the O’Reilly Factor story on all the violence in the NFL. Last time I checked, people bleed in that sport, too

O’Reilly will be dead in 30 years (hopefully less) and the only thing people will remember him for is his inaccurate opinions made from the hip. Oh, and that he was a little bitch.

I don’t even need to blow holes in his tissue paper argument about the comparison with boxing. Not worth the time or energy. What is worth the energy is laughing at this moron.

Bill, you make a funny show and the best is that you’re actually trying to not be a comedy. You’ve legitimized stupidity. Congrats.

I am a little confused how fake blood and fake fighting is any less “violent” than MMA. These people have no knowledge of Martial Arts and are the same people who labeled it ” human cockfighting” in the early days.

Funny seeing how it has been on spike for a couple of years and no one said a word. Yet now that it is on cbs, Watch out its now on Bill O’Reily’s radar.

To add something I forgot to my above post, age has nothing to do with what you’ll like. My dad, who is in his 50s loves the UFC. When I speak of “that” generation, I speak of the men in their late 60s who are so damn stuck in their ways they can’t see past their noses.

And just to add, their generation was sooo much better than ours right? Free sex, drugs, protesting everything. Maybe if you’d of been taking care of your kids instead of doing every line put in front of your face the preceeding generations wouldn’t have “fallen” as far as they did.

And let’s face it, old white (and yes I can say white since I am too) political men (for the most part) just want to ruin everything that they slightly dislike.

To the guy who said that “To the untrained eye it looks like a street fight that’s been moved inside a cage and put on tv” I’m sorry, but if O’Riley did not first do his homework on a topic he was going to bring up on his show then he’s an idiot and he’s doing trash journalism. It’s plain and simple, you don’t run your mouth, espically on national television about something you know nothing about. It makes you look dumb. Sorry all you O’Riley supporters but that was an IDIOT thing to do. Not only that but where was someone to defend MMA? So first he runs his mouth about a subject he clearly hasn’t looked into for more than 5 minutes, then he fills his pannel with a bunch of people who are only on his side? Telling only his opinion? Trash journalism, propoganda, call it what you want, it’s shit and he’s an idiot for doing that.

How can you defend someone who is spreading propoganda and shitty journalism? I sure as hell wouldn’t get on TV and presume to speak about a subject I knew dick about.

Love MMA or hate it you won’t stop it. I have done football, baseball, wrestling, and now MMA and I can tell you MMA is much more athletically challenging than any other sport, it’s also much safer. And to say that pro wrestling, which features men who still, no matter what you say whether it is real or fake, display violence on television (throwing men through tables, hitting them with chairs) and still bleed, albeit they cut themselves (btw try explaining to an 8 year old that that is fake), is less violent than MMA is insane! You must be smoking meth, it still displays violence, much more violence than MMA does.

It’s not surprising those views are the same ones of the old men who have run this country into the ground lately (woo hoo repubs!)

The only light of hope in all of this is that THAT generation is dying off, in another 20 years we won’t have to put up with them.

I feel slightly misunderstood and offended. I am 49, take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lessons, love MMA, send text messages, and (obviously) use the internet. I am also a grandfather, and my step-grandson started taking karate and BJJ lessons the month after he turned 4. He loves it, especially the BJJ. I have learned that anytime you categorize people based on a characteristic, such as age, you are often wrong.
