I hate to be the 1 to say it, but fans don’t hate Gable Steveson because he’s an alleged rapist. They hate him because he’s an alleged rapist who also happens to be black.
Meanwhile, they give Conor McGregor a pass despite being found civilly liable for sexual assault, among many other disgusting acts.
He was also accused of physically assaulting a woman on a yacht. She had to jump into the water to escape and be rescued. After she pursued charges, her car was firebombed, and she later dropped the case.
MMA fans have apparently decided rape is okay if you’re a white, brash Irishman, when in reality McGregor should be getting the same energy, if not worse.
