Joe Rogan goes on homophobic rant against reporter

Joe Rogan goes off on a wild, homophobic, sexist rant on an MMA forum because a reporter had the gall to criticize him.

I hope media outlets pick this up and I hope GLAAD gets on it too. UFC President Dana White went on a crazy rant last year against a female MMA reporter Loretta Hunt than included all sorts of equally disgusting language. Real nice culture of acceptance they’re brewing over in the UFC.

In the original forum thread where Rogan made the comments he was joined by another MMA commentator, Michael Schiavello, who also called the reporter, Tomas Rios, a “cunt”.

The worst part of this is that I’ve had some email chats with Mr. Rios before and he’s a proud feminist and ally to the LGBTQ community. As one of many LGBTQ fans of MMA, I really hope Rogan gets what’s coming to him.

Also, Rogan openly contradicted the “apology” he put out on his twitter. This sort of nonsense can not be left ignored.
