Not my opinion…but who ever wrote this must think so.
I think it must be from that new Heather Graham show…what ever the hell it is called.
Technically not “Martial Arts in the News” but it is big media.

Wow. That was offensive on so many levels.
Why would a gay guy want to practice bjj. It takes agression, pain, sweat and messes up his nails and hair and he will stink afterwards. Plus he could be spending the time actually having gay sex.
It just doesn’t add up.
I think it was supposed to be comedy but I’m not sure.
more importantly, heather graham need to get back into roles that suit her skills.
like her role in boogie nights.
stop kidding yourselves, queens!
I think it’s true…
That is very aggravating.
I’d really like to see a fight between the writers of this show and Brazilian Top Team, but I guess I’ll have to content myself with watching this show tank worse than “Life With Bonnie.”
On the plus side, maybe this will reduce popular demand for BJJ, thereby driving down prices.
That was fucking funny.
Yeah, my girlfriend brought that episode up…
But hey, she know’s I’m not gay, and that’s all that matters.
I don’t get how the fuck peoplel think greco/roman wrestling or bjj is homoerotic. One of my pals made a comment once at the bar about it being gay, so i put him in a choke nd asked:“you turned on pal…is this getting you hot.” It might seem like an overreaction (no I’m not a homophobe) but this guy kept saying it for like two months whenever anyone (mostly attractive girls we’d meet in the bar) would ask about it. He;s never mentioned it being gay again.
I lie awake at night fretting that Heather Graham might have a mistaken impression of my sexuality.
Were I desperate for homoerotic sporting satisfaction, I’d still be playing rugby…
Seriously, the comment was off base (but funny as hell). The gayest sport there is will always be Collegiate wrestling (let’s put two guys in tight spandex and have them roll around on a mat together). At least BJJ involves actually inflicting pain.
The only reason I think anyone would say that about BJJ is because holding someone in your guard…I guess.
And…for the record…the gayest sport ever is anything that should be considered art instead of sport because it involves a selection of music…you know…like figure skating
Don’t worry guys.BJJ has to climb really high before it becomes as gay as this.
I’d have to say North-South is right up there, too. I had an epiphany one day while at the bottom of North South. “Hey, this guy’s ass is resting right on my head! That’s disgusting!” Then I quickly forgot about it.
My Dad who does Kenpo makes fun of grappling almost every time I bring it up. However, BJJ terminology is particularly gay. In wrestling, Judo, and Shootfighting, it was “side control” but in BJJ? MOUNT!
And at tourneys!?
COME ON! MOUNT HIM! MOUNT HIM! GET HIM! GET BEHIND HIM NOW! REAR MOUNT!
Hookers.
I’ll admit, if I was ever telling a non BJJ person the details of a fight I ever got into, it wouldn’t sound like “Well, I got into the mount from the 69 and started dropping bombs. He tried to roll over, and I took his back! REAR NAKED CHOKE!!”
Although I never call it ‘69’, it’s ‘North-South’ or nothing, I thought the comic value was worth it
