Matt Hughes....Coach/Preacher/Queen

[twankydawg]

No one should try to use a stage like he has to push his beliefs on anyone else. IMO, he's trying to make himself look better because he's looked like a dick most of the time. Serra tells it like it is and he wasn't bad mouthing his boy, his boy was punking out and he said what was on his mind, that's why I like the guy.

And who the fuck is that dude that looks like a bald ass Troll coaching on Team Hughes?

my point was i didn't really get the impression that he was "pushing" his beliefs on anyone, I think out of that whole situation Serra looked bad, like he needs everyone to agree with him and talk down about Hughes because he is taking a different approach to the "team" aspect. Prediction: Just watch, I bet team Serra falls apart because they act more like individuals rather than a team

and i don't know who that bald guy is but he's always laughing and smiling was making me do the same (is it just me or does he look alot like Hughes??)

Well, we just see it different I guess. I think any coach should check their religious/political beliefs at the door when they walk in to train some other guys.

It wouldn't bother me at all persoanlly. I wouldn't read it (not because I'm not a Christian, I'm actually Catholic) because I simply don't have the attention span to sit down and read chapter this, verse that. Matt gave his group the option of not reading it. As far as I can tell he didn't hold it against them. I wouldn't be offended if a man from any other religion would try to get me to read something. They just think that whatever worked for them can help you. When Matt says he can give up fighting today and work in a nursing home helping the elderly, I believe him.

I think people get way too offended over shit they can easily say no to. It's almost like people want to be offended and get off being offended. It fires them up and adds to that fantasy persecution complex.

I understand Mac's point but his gesture of just taking a nap was pretty bad. it's almost like "Your beliefs are stupid old man, I'm going to take nap in front of you and the team". He could have just left the room or spoken to Matt directly about his problem with it. I'm sure Matt would have understood.

And honestly watching the segment I found it hilarious that 300 was being used by some of the fighters to understand the passage. lol

I think it could force some of the guys into an uncomfortable situation where they don't want to read it for whatever reason but feel obligated to because it is their coach. I'm just saying that it puts people in a position to make a choice that would otherwise be different but because it's Coach Hughes, they don't want to be the guy that "didn't read it".

Twanks, I get where you're coming from (because as i said before I am not religious in the least) but I feel the manner in which Hughes approached it left the team to decide for themselves

and the bottom line, as he explained it, was for them to realize that he is the Queen (LOL) and would do anything for his people

LMFAO @ him being the Queen!!

when did hughes make everyone participate in Bible study? i must have missed that

[Gurry]

i dont really think it matters, im not catholic or christian, but hughes seems like a very religious man, it duznt matter if he wants to teach his guys about it or not. Hes the coach and alotta u ppl are flaming for other reasons, hughes is coming off as a nice guy this season (prolly to make serra look like a humongous dick) so w/e. Everybdoys just flaming because they think everybody collectivley hates hughes but your all to dumb and ignorant to see hes one of the best champions of all time, and if someone doesnt wanna listen to waht he has to say so be it, but itd be in ur best interest to

I know how he explained it but who's going to want to say no in that situation? And look at how he did Mac, Mac made his choice and instead of letting it be he went over there to push him to do it. Seems Mac made his choice but it wasn't good enough for Hughes and Mac not wanting to say no again got up and started reading it. If he had let Mac be with the decision he made I would agree with you but it was obvious that wasn't the case.

The 300 reference was priceless and Matt saying he was "the Queen" was one of the funniest things I've seen on the show eva!
