To think this comment is disgusting and unacceptable?

[mrleebob]

I know a lot of you aren't fans of WWE but to fill in the back story, a popular wrestler named CM Punk walked away from his contract in January. Today, a website called WhatCulture has posted an article entitled, '10 Reasons WWE Fans Are still Chanting CM Punk's Name'.

Rest assured, this complaint isn't actually related to wrestling. THIS is the comment I object to.

''The WWE Universe has suffered a fate worse than that of any battered wife ever. The WWE is an emotionally abusive husband that promises amazing things, but when you fall for them, he never truly delivers.''

The full article can be found here.

Am I overreacting?

YANBU. That's really really offensive!!

Sorry when was this? 1956?

WHAT!

That's disgusting

This was today. The author compared wrestling fans missing a millionaire who left a company to a battered wife.

I've posted the link. The article is also on Facebook. I suggest people complain.

You can 'report' the article, I'm going to do it now.

Bit of a tasteless analogy, and you're entitled to think what you like about it. Can't say I'm too bothered and won't be complaining.
This post comes across as petty shit-stirring, tbh.

Petty shit stirring

No it's highly offensive. How dare they compare their stupid wrestling not living up to expectations to that of a woman being beat or emotionally abused by her partner.

Not at all shit stirring. I read it and my jaw dropped.

They changed the article. :-)

Excellent. They must have had lots of complaints - quite rightly.
