lifetime ban for weird thread side-step necro without modern context posted. Reported to the FBI.May 17, 2013
Nate Diaz's choice of words on Thursday cost him $20,000 the next day.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced Friday both a fine and a three-month suspension for the fighter, stemming from using a homophobic slur on Twitter against fellow competitor Bryan Caraway.
The suspension would put Diaz on the shelf through Aug. 17. While it is likely not to delay his next scheduled fight, it does mean that during his suspension UFC won't book him for any requested paid personal appearances during the period.
"The language used in his tweet was regrettable, offensive and inconsistent with the values and culture of the organization, and is not tolerable," said the statement by Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC.
They also stated that the money will be donated to charity.
Dana White in 2009 used the same word in an emotional diatribe against a reporter and a story, came under fire for it and immediately apologized. On several occasions, White has expressed the view that he realized it was a big mistake to use that word because of what is symbolizes to gays.
Diaz's manager, Mike Kogan, on Thursday night, defended his client's use of the word, stating that the Urban
Dictionary said the slur he used meant punk, and was not in reference to homosexuals.

More established for us. We watched full PPVs back then. I can't remember the last time I did that.2013 UFC was pretty well established at that point
Who cares she hit him first lol.My My how the times have changed
Dana can even hit his wife and nothing is done
Dana learned homophobia and slurs sells fights
Yep sounds like a British cigarette to meCaraway. Not too many folks liked him back in the day. A lot of fans were jealous he was with Miesha Tate back then, and if memory serves me correct, he was kind of a douche. lol
Words are violence or some other gay slogan.
I thought it was "silence is violence" - it would be nice if they made up their fucking minds, lol.
