    I think we tend to favor equal opportunity anything verses having an agenda or bias against someone or favoritism towards a person or particular group of people.

    Shawn is no angel, and I'm not trying to defend anything he's done to the detriment of the sport or other competitors, but the arguments are not helped by misinformation. All that does is add distraction. He was one of the few to speak out on behalf of athletes to unionize and improve purses for pro bodybuilders.... was it self serving, of course! But it still doesn't mean he wasn't right.

    I get what you're saying- that it makes Dallas look defensive with his thinking. Maybe Shawn has a problem with big white bodybuilders. Maybe Shawn does or doesn't. Maybe Dallas is feeling defensive too. But it's his right on his personal page to say whateve he thinks. And I guess this is a great forum for us to say whatever WE think, haha. Shawn hasn't had a shortage of public douchebag commentary and behavior over the last few weeks though and it's definitely losing people and Dallas not being chickenshit to speak his mind, whether it's fueled by emotion or defensiveness is winning him fans.

    Yeah, a good producer would go a long way with this amateurish audio. Let's once again be thankful to Johnny and RX....

    NO ONE is a fan of people who wear sunglasses indoors and/or on camera. Wtf. Never liked this guy instinctually, just based on that alone.

    I'm seeing a lot of videos now of people who have barely competed or ever competed chiming in with opinions and "advice" for Dallas. I guess they want to ride his coattails for attention? It must be too hard to write something comprehensible- so video is now obligatory?

    On that note-I don't get why people seem to confuse the difference between "truth" and opinion either. Just because an opinion is "your truth" doesn't make it, THE truth or factual. As Dave and John call it on Iron Rage, it's a "rant", which is fine because they've spent decades in the industry as competitors and coaches and have accomplished and seen amazing things all over the world with highest level athletes. Shawn also has accomplished a great deal so if he wants to rant, fine. But now half a dozen other bodybuilding "fans" are chiming in who either have never competed or coached anyone or are low level coaches looking to cash in on this?

    What all this is showing is that there is a hell of a lot of good will towards Dallas. Collapsing may have made him even more popular.

    I'm a little confused here is Dallas McCarver saying that he should have beat Brandon curry? Or is he just mad about the comments that sean Ray made about him?
