Seth Davis, a college basketball writer for Sports Illustrated and NCAA analyst for CBS Sports, just tweeted from the human cockfighting era.
Looking on news sites showing picture of two muscular bloody men in homoerotic fighting pose….Sorry, I’ll never get this UFC thing
I’m a prude on this but I’m also a dad. I don’t mind my sons watching boxing, but I wouldn’t want them watching a UFC bout.
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. The irony of someone finding fault with a subject by making a bigoted statement would indicate that Davis needs to do some soul searching, and less twittering.
Secondly, if you see two guys fighting, and what you think about is gay sex, the issue is not with fighting.
Thebiglead.com has the story.
Davis doesn’t like mixed martial arts. It’s bloody and homoerotic and he certainly wouldn’t want his sons watching it. Davis prefers wholesome athletic competitions like college basketball and boxing.
I just hope no one shows Davis the entire portion of the Sports Illustrated website dedicated to this homoerotic activity. Or tells him that CBS Sports has a partnership with MixedMartialArts.com. Otherwise a prude like Seth Davis might have to block his employers’ websites on his sons’ computers. Until then, he can proudly allow his boys to watch boxing where they can learn the proper way for men to touch other men. No homo.
Back in 1996 Davis appeared on the pioneering weirdo reality television series HBO’s Real Sex:

“I would think I would like to be nude in the White House,” said Davis at the time. Not long after this video aired in 1996 nudity in the White House became kind of a big deal to some folks, and partly because Seth’s dad, Lanny Davis, would soon be doing damage control for Bill Clinton’s zipper.
DeadSpin recently asked Davis about his appearance on the show.
“If memory serves, that was about 1995 or ’96 because I had just moved to New York,” said Davis. “I’m pretty sure my dad had not yet been hired as Special Counsel. No, I have never been nude in the White House. I’m amazed that clip is still in circulation. I’m pretty sure I would have never agreed to be interviewed if I knew I’d be making my living on network television.”
Davis received fierce criticism of the tweets, and has since removed them and apologized, calling them “stupid and thoughtles.”
