Im not playing the psychic role that you like to play. I USED MY EYES AND WATCHED IT.
It's not disagreeing with you but I'm not one to go with the grain just because it could be the easiest thing to do.
Just because she is going along with it for the sake of the cameras and her job, doesn't mean everything is okay. Just because Rampage has that personality doesn't make it right. That's all I was trying to say.

Did you actually watch the interviews before making your judgement? That doesnt seem like a women being sexually harassed to me. They are laughing and taking it as a joke...
you just looking for another reason to hate on him.

It's a reporters job to pretend everything is fine and go along with shit. It's Rampage's job as a professional athlete to be a little more professional while doing these interviews. That's not how a normal person acts, its not acceptable in any other major sport. I like Rampage, but I think he's a hardcore misogynist. Lots of women learn to joke of sexual harassment, I see it all the time. Doesn't mean it's OK.
Oh I didn't realize it was that easy. Thank god I'm in college and have taken classes on sexual assault and sexual harassment and know better.
You actually took classes devoted to to sexual harassment?? How much were the tuition and books for those classes? Seems like a waste of time and money to me. We had sexual harassment training at work, knocked that shit out in less than 2 hours with no tuition required.

Actually that's not a reporter's job. If she felt uncomfortable she needed to say so right when it happened. Casually playing it off does more harm than good.

When have I ever "hated" on him?
I love how when you speak out about something a fighter does, you are "hating" on them.
If you don't know the dynamics about sexual harassment dealing with women in the workplace then I suggest you read up on it. I promise you, it's not as easy as "she should of said something".
And yes, I watched the video.

Easier said than done. The reporter went into that situation expecting to do her job and interview a professional athlete, not to get grabbed on uninvited. She got taken by surprise, tried to be professional and laugh it off, and it's obviously taken a few days for the enormity of what happened to sink in and speak up about it. The fact that the guy doing it was a 230lb fighter who beats up other fighters for a living may have contributed to the delay.
I think it's difficult to be critical of her for not expressing her discomfort right then and there. I'm inclined to be more critical of Rampage - he's a 32 year old man for chrissake. Why does he not know that simulating sex on strange women who are engaging him in a professional capacity is a terrible look at best, and illegal at worst?

Rule 3: NEVER attempt to mediate in a flame-war between GSP and BJ Penn nuthuggers debating GSP/Penn II. It won't end well.
The article doesn't say anything about what this Karyn woman thought about what Rampage did, it only brought up what Heather Nichols thought about what she was thinking during her own interview a while back. This Karyn woman could have taken it as a joke or could not have... you'll never know until she says something... so until then... shut the fuck up

What kind of retarded logic is that dude seriously? So you’re saying just because he acts like a goof all the time on camera he can just get away with disgusting stuff like that. So by your logic Manny Ramirez can get away with humping some random reporters because he acted like idiot all the time? Ooooooh that’s just Manny being Manny. Do you really think if he did what Rampage has not only done in this interview, but multiple other ones he wouldn't be plastered all over ESPN?
Page is simply taking advantage of these women in these uncomfortable positions because he knows they won't just say "fuck off!!”. These women are nothing special when it comes to journalism obviously and they don't want to lose their job because they feel they pissed off Rampage in an interview.
Either way, it just comes down to the fact that he needs to stop acting like a 14 year old teenager sometimes trying to make his friends laugh and instead act like a professional.

ok who seriously thinks "reporters know it's a joke?" dude, really?! So, just because it's a joke it's OK? come on think for a second a joke that someone made at your expense that hurt your feelings, now multiply that by a 100 since this a female getting PHYSICALLY harassed and on top of it all, it's on video for the world to see!
Rampage is my homie and I laugh at just about everything he does but honestly, he needs to watch himself
