Death Threat Law & Legal Definition: "Under state criminal codes, which vary by state, it is an offense to knowingly utter or convey a threat to cause death or bodily harm to any person."—www.definitions.uslegal.com
“The offence of utter death threat may be prosecuted by summary conviction or by indictment. If prosecuted by indictment, the accused person is entitled to elect trial by jury and upon conviction is liable to up to five years jail.”—www.defencelaw.com
"I want to fight Brock Lesnar. I hate who he is as a person. I want to break his neck in the ring. I want him to be the first person that dies to Octagon-related injuries.”—Frank Mir, WXDX Radio
Not exactly the usual non-literal metaphor of “I’m gonna kill that guy!” that is heard so often in competitive sports.
In fact, I don’t think that a summer goes by where my son, who plays middle linebacker, doesn’t have at least a dozen other kids telling him that he’s a “dead man” out on the football field (easier said than done by the way).
As a coach, I may not believe such a frivolous threat in literal terms, but make no mistake, I am always conscious and aware of any perceived intent to injure another player, regardless if it my son or not.
Contact sports can be very emotional. I take nothing for granted and my responsibility as a coach prevents me from underestimating potentially inappropriate intentions to hurt or injure another player.
Given Mir’s recent obsession with Lesnar, which became stalwartly fuelled by his prior embarrassing defeat, Mir’s comments must be taken seriously by the UFC, as well as the authorities.
They simply must.
We cannot pretend to know Mir’s current state of mind. We cannot make assumptions that Mir is simply “hyping” a fight, and we cannot ignore the potential danger of this incredibly unfortunate situation.
Some of you may be thinking that this is a slight overreaction or that this is possibly even an acceptable level of behaviour in sports (which as a stand-alone opinion, I would have to strongly disagree).
But what if in this particular case, you are wrong?
What if Mir is deadly serious?
I really hope that the Governor of New York State or the Ontario Premier didn’t catch wind of Mir’s incredibly disturbing and irresponsible remarks. Trying to get MMA legalized is tough enough it seems, and this absolutely plays right into the old stereotype that MMA is nothing more than a ruthless, lawless “bloodsport.”
Without a doubt, it makes the UFC (Mir’s employer) and all of MMA in general, look extremely bad.
Even worse, it makes each of its supporters look bad as well (guilty by association). Believe it or not, Mir’s reputation becomes our reputation. It’s like Frank Mir reached out through the media and punched every single MMA fan square in the face.
This absolutely is “one step forward—two steps back.”
Bottom line: it insults and undermines all of our hard work in this sport.
Personally, I have been a long time advocate and supporter of all things MMA and I have taken it upon myself to speak out on the things that I don’t particularly like. I have consistently refused to sit back and accept the negatives of this sport, even if it has sometimes meant that I had to against popular opinion.
I refuse to accept bad behaviour as a natural part of this sport.
I have been a martial artist in the truest sense of the word for my entire life and I believe very strongly in the values of sportsmanship and honour.
I believe strongly in the good things found in MMA (and I hope that if you are reading this—you do to).
It’s the bad things that I have intolerance for and I have never given up trying to make a positive difference.
Frank Mir now has me asking myself “why?”
Why am I putting my personal reputation on the line amongst my friends, my peers, my colleagues, my family members, my children, my players, my community?—trust me, the list is very long.
I speak out and voice my opinions because I love this sport and I believe in its future. Or at least, I thought I did.
Now I’m not so sure.
This whole thing about “hyping” a fight just goes too far in my opinion, even for combat sports.
I believe that all professional athletes have a social responsibility to act in a way that should not be deemed illegal or as a detriment to their sport. The entire MMA community will now suffer at the hands of Frank Mir who has pushed us back into the stone ages and created a major set-back in MMA’s drive for mainstream acceptance.
So the question is: what should be done about Mr. Francisco Santos Mir?

no you coach are the biggest pos involved in mma.

Why does Frank Queer hate Lesnar so much ???
-
Wow, you're kidding, right?
-
lets hear what mr disturbia thinks of this

No "Relentless" I actually do not know why Frank Mir dislikes Brock Lesnar, believe it or not.
-
Frank Mir shouldn't say things like that but the guy who wrote the article is overreacting .
-

Not referring to you, but the thread starter. Do not think you're that special.
Wouldn't you not like someone who bashed your face in then acts like a total prick? Lesnar is not very likable.
-

Unless you're willing to post a pic to back your shit up, you're right up there Mir. That being said, STFU pussy!
-
Lesnar was about two hits away from cracking poor Mirs skull open in their last fight. Large nuts to want to re-enact that.

Seriously Roach your BP must be out of control. My guess is that you will stroke out in less then 2 yrs.

I bet Lesnar beats the shit out of Mir in their 3rd fight as well.
And I also bet Lesnar doesn't act like a douche afterwards. ;)
-
:) I like Mir, he is fairly psychotic and as such must never to be underestimated.

how come the coach always starts a serious thread and g.biggers always insult the coach?

He's old and hostile=Easy target

Some getbiggers don't like midget mexicans.
I myself find midgets intriguing and would like to have one to hang with once in awhile.
-

Easy, simply because of my political views. You don't exactly see anyone debating me on bodybuilding, training, nutrition or when I post a pic or video do you? It's the liberal way, they hide and bash.

The article translated = please stay interested in this dying organization and buy our products!
::)

but you have time to wank off to the soapy stud thread. :D

Mir has to say shit like that to make himself believe he can beat Lesnar. Lesnar beat the holy shit out of him the second fight and was beating the shit out of him in the first fight. Lesnar inexperience got him caught. A true champion is someone who can come back after defeat. Mir will NEVER beat Lesnar.

Mir does a great job as a commentator on the WEC broadcasts. He's really knowledgeable about all aspects of the game.
Coach,
Are you sure this isn't why you have such hatred for Mir?

Nope, not at all. It was a fight, Kongo got caught and lights out. If he would have went the whole fight and gassed causing him to lose..then I would have had a problem. Mir is just a dick plain and simple.

No more so than Lesnar.

Exactly.
Sounds to me like Mir is really butt hurt......I guess he never thought that a former Pro Wrestler could take him on. :-\
-

Agree. Especially if reports are true, that Brock was likely only at 50-60% due to the illness he had been battling.
-
Mir couldn't touch Lesnar with a baseball bat, brass knuckles and SWAT team on his side..
-
Lol @ Mir pissing of Lesnar again.
YOU CANT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LAST TIME WHEN YOU PISSED HIM OF?
Lesnar is gonna Hurt him bad in the rematch after this stalking.
-
Fuck you Coach,Frank Mir is the man
-
I wouldn't worry. Lesnar will pound his face in....AGAIN :-*
-
Fuck you Coach,Frank Mir is the man
Mir is a prick and so is Lesnar but at least Lesnar didn't make a death threat that being said Mir can f**k himself right after he gets his ass kicked by Lesnar........so "F**K YOU!

But they don't threaten their rivals lives :-\

Mir said those things in a PURELY figurative manner.
I know Frank and he isn't like that
..and by "I know Frank" I mean "I don't know him but, I don't find it gay that i'm attracted to him solely by how intelligent he speaks when he announces for WEC"
-
Just keep pushing "nikki".
1. im not nikki
2. even if i was what the fuck would you do ?

qft
mir = sore loser
stuff like this is good hype for the fight though. as far as brock being a jerk after he won the 2nd , well that's part of the game. remember he was a heel in werestling so anykind of pop from the crowd is good. this kinda contro is good for the sport. it's the hurt business... thats why that guy that wrote the article isn't in it and can only write about it, albeit not to well though, lol.
-
I really believe Mir is a far superior fighter than Lesnar. It just depends upon which Frank Mir shows up.
-

When do they fight again?
-
I can't stand either one of them.
I do have the feeling Mir is biting off more than he can chew here. The smart thing to do would have been to keep quiet and just prepare to make a run at the title. Riling up someone who outweighs you by 40 lbs and who threw you around like a rag doll in your last fight isn't the best way to avenge a loss.

hahahahahahah lol hahahahah

in all honesty no matter how much Mir talks it is solely for himself to fire him up. Other than experience Mir has nothing on Lesnar. And Mir only has more experince in MMA. Lesnar had his college years and even though the WWE is fake to a point it does take a ton of skill, athleticism and skill to pull off a majority of those moves. A fake hit is harder to do than a real hit. It takes control. Physcially Lesnar is just to imposing for Mir. He has that competition mindset. The WWE gave him the experience of performing in front of huge crowds. That anger he displayed after the second fight was just emotion, the same emotion he went into the fight with. He truly does not like Mir. you have to have that mindset. Lesnar has it to get him fired up to fight. Mir does it to try and convince himself and others he is not afraid.
