UFC Suspends Nate Diaz for a Homophopic Statement
Stockton, CA (May 17th, 2013)–Nate Diaz has been suspended by the UFC for the following statements on Twitter.
Nate Diaz’s Twitter:
Nathan Diaz ✔@NateDiaz209
I feel bad for pat Healy that they took a innocent mans money and I think the guy who took the money is the biggest Fag in the world ..
The UFC responded quickly, suspending Diaz as they investigate what their next move is. The promotion issued a statement on the matter.
“We are very disappointed by Nate Diaz’s comments, which are in no way reflective of our organization. Nate is currently suspended pending internal investigation and we will provide further comment once the matter has been decided.”
Diaz’s Mike Kogan manager then responded that Diaz wasn’t using a homophobic slur. Instead, he told MMA Junkie that Diaz was using a misogynistic term.
“Guess what? The word [expletive], at least in Northern California, and where Nate is from, means bitch. It means you’re a little punk. It has nothing to do with homosexuals at all. So when Nate made the comment that he made, he didn’t make it in reference to homosexuals or calling Caraway a homosexual. He just said it was a bitch move.
The UFC has been suspended a lot of fighters recently for their public statements. Comment below on whether you agree with this suspension.
