The PC crowd can get fucked and so can the WWE. Their product is crap compared to what it once was anyway. Hogan shouldn't have apologized and should've attacked them for violating his privacy again.

RE: Hogan Legdropping Gawker?
I said it before and I will say it again-This society of everybody taping and videoing all the time is fucking annoying, and people need to be able to say and do things in private and have them stay private.
When Donald Sterling got fucked over, when Dog the Bounty Hunter got fucked over and now with Hogan getting fucked over I hope my point is made. I read Hogan's comments and summed up with a lack of elegance he just did not want his daughter to date outside her race, even if the guy was rich. There is nothing wrong with him feeling that way personally, or using the language he used in private. Follow me with a recorder and hear some of my post coitus conversations and I would never work again.
I don't care what he says or does in private, and this surreptitious recording is getting old fast.

RE: Hogan Legdropping Gawker?
I must say it's heartbreaking for me as a black person to read those comments. As a kid I would wake up every Saturday to watch WWF to cheer him on. Not sure how many white people can relate to this feeling of having some guy you might have looked up to later say racists things about your group.
But this is why it's best to not know too much about the private lives of celebrities. I don't know how racist the man actually is in real life. He may treat blacks well that he meets and works with in the real world for all I know. I'm sure there's not a person alive that hasn't said something about another race that would get them in trouble if it was broadcast publicly. The content of his statement with regards to his daughter I'm sure is not much different than what the majority of whites say privately, even if they don't use the word "nigger" as liberally as he did.
Even though they had no right to air his private bedroom statements, what's heard cannot be unheard. And if WWE doesn't want their brand associated with him, that's their right as a private company that earns revenue from a diverse audience.
I don't think Hulk is a bad guy overall because of this. I'm pretty sure he'd be a cool neighbor and a guy you can have a beer with. Nobody really needed to know what he thinks of his daughter fucking black dudes. That's his private business. While I don't like that he said "nigger", he said it in private. If he doesn't go around treating blacks badly in real life then I can accept his apology and leave it at that without him getting fired. This politically correct witch hunt shit is getting out of control.

Perhaps. I don't disagree with you. Fuck the WWE for sure.
A public apology is just courteous. He doesn't have to mean it. It's more for any fans that he may have offended. He can still attack them for violating his privacy whilst acknowledging responsibly for any offense caused.
I suppose it depends on how whether he believes what he supposedly said. If that is truly how he feels than yeah maybe he just says hey if you don't like it then shove it. Except that is going to do a lot of PR damage. He doesn't have to piss off everyone.
Also yeah I wouldn't personally grovel to them but Hogan has a lot to lose in terms of money, reputation etc. I think it's a little different. Not everybody is willing to risk it all to stand by their principles. Maybe that's the problem...
But yeah seriously weak from the WWE. I don't really watch much of their product anymore anyway although I loosely follow it through Bleacher Report etc. I'll boycott it entirely from now on.

I like the surreptitious recording. The alternative is a society where people can make threats, draw weapons, beat people up and lie their way out of the consequences.
You are new here so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not a troll. If I am in public, in a store, or in a courtroom then I understand if I am caught on video it is expected. If I just got finished fucking someone in a private residence, in a bathroom stall taking a shit or passing a kidney stone, or a psychiatrists couch then that shit needs to be considered private. If you like people recording everything you do, even when you think you are in private I find that odd. How about when you are jerking off to pornograpy in the privacy of your home? Discussing you private fears in your house with someone you thought you could trust? You want all that recorded without your knowledge and used against you 8 year later? That is kinda odd...
