I would much rather have people out in the open with what they believe then keep it quiet. He takes off his shirt...or opens his mouth...you know not to make him the godfather of your kid. But you cant deny him his trade! People are so weak minded! They fear anything they dont agree with! I'd rather argue my point then hide my head or shut my mouth!

Obviously in the sad ignorant world we live in.. most people wont allow him to, because it might jeopardize their company in some way. Which i understand to an extent. Otherwise the man.. should be able ot fight. Who cares what they believe in..or how bad their tattoos are? Has nothing to do with the sport. Hell make him wear a shirt if anything lol. And i like how you brought up religious tattoos. Because though most dont consider a cross and god.. in the same conversation as a swastika. Let us remember that the cross has killed more ppl than anything tied to a swastika ever has. Do you think native americans see a cross and look up to the heavens and rain dance? No i think they get pretty pissed off. But im sure even after everything.. at least they have some balls. So point being. Let him fight! oh and costa is a latin name... latin MEANS WHITE. spainish ppl are technically white. And dont forget all the crimes nba players have commited. You dont have to be a stand up guy.. to play sports. The man has a right to fight.

I'm not asking this as a (sadly) typical message board challenge, but more in the vein of an MMA roundtable discussion. Comment has been turned into an <a href="http://www.mmaopinion.com/2008/03/10/another-view-on-racism-in-mma/" rel="nofollow">article here</a>. Ah hell, if I was smarter I'd have written this an an article. Where's MMAOpinion's "editor" to fix this up for internet use? :) (Consider it done!)

I mean, if it was someone who made this comments going into a fight with Rampage or Anderson Silva or Cheick Kongo, I'd be more interested (partly because I'd be really excited to see them get smeared on the canvas), but if it's a guy who sucks then why should I really care? I think that this guy has done a great job of garnering himself attention. I just don't understand why we're helping.
