He has improved. He didn’t kill anyone or take drugs?
Absolutely.There's a recurring narrative pattern in his case:
- Jon does something really bad.
- Jon gets caught.
- Jon cries and shows signs of regret.
- Jon posts pictures of himself working out and being happy, saying it's part of the journey toward self-improvement, saluting God, praising the challenges that the Lord puts for him to overcome and his endless capacity for making himself stronger.
Literally just happened again: Jones posts insta stories of himself working out after a royal fuckup, saluting the good graces of God, then posts pictures of him and his fiancée, and now claims that this was all really just a blessing in disguise, making them stronger at the end.
While it sounds like a healthy way to deal with one's fuckups, I think this narrative actually functions as a very appeasing way to not confront the gravity of his actions. No matter what shit he does, it always comes back to "I'm in a journey toward self-improvement" where everything bad he does is merely an obstacle in the path to unforeseen greatness. This way he can rationalize his pathological bullshit as mere forks in the road that God put for him to overcome. It's not him being rotten, but the journey that presents challenges and ultimately proves his resilience to make himself better.
This time he really went too far. Having your own child ask for the cops. It's simply inexcusable. To blame 'trauma' for him getting drunk and violently assaulting his wife and a cop car is pathetic.
I think the only way this person will truly learn is if he faces prison time for his actions. That's it.
A punch in the fucking face will fix all that.
no quite, compared to the NBA then the NFL, JJ pales in comparisonHe is as narcissistic as they come.
That was well written, well thought out and accurate as fuck! I had to scroll back to the top of the screen to double check to see if I was still on Sherdog.There's a recurring narrative pattern in his case:

People can change and the narrative that nobody can improve themselves over time or after dramatic/traumatic circumstances arise is ridiculous. Some of you need to just let some of the hate in your heart go and stop praying on people’s downfall. It is a parasitic rabbit hole that leads to a negative outlook on life as a whole.
With that said I hope what Jon is saying is genuine and wish him and his family the best.
