UFC star defends husband’s swastika tattoo after accidental tweet
https://nypost.com/2018/06/03/ufc-star- ... tal-tweet/

The husband of UFC star Andrea Lee has come under fire after a photo of him emerged on social media exposing his swastika tattoo.

Lee posted a snap of the pair together at a lake, and the Twittersphere quickly noticed the pro-Nazi ink
Upon realizing what could be seen, Lee cropped the image and left it on her Twitter and Instagram accounts without a view of Aaron’s arm, but it was too late, and she was forced to defend her husband — who’s also her coach.

She said Aaron got the tattoo when he was in prison and insisted that neither of them was racist.

On Saturday, Aaron also addressed the controversy, calling his tattoo a “20-year-old mistake” in a tweet. He also said his ink doesn’t define him and if it was possible, he would get it removed.

There were also suggestions Aaron had a double lighting bolt — the symbol of the SS, the Nazi military force — tattooed on his right arm.

Unsurprisingly, Aaron and Lee got heat on social media.
Lee is the No. 12-ranked flyweight contender and has a 9-2 record. She is a former flyweight champion in MMA promotion LFA.

Her last fight was a unanimous points decision win over Veronica Macedo at a UFC Fight Night on May 19.

I'm confused why getting a cover up of that little-ass swastika isn't an option? Just do a black circle over it, problem solved.

...because he doesn't want to hide the nazi tattoo, I would imagine. If I had no other option, I would remove the skin and flesh underneath to get that off me.

Still probably less racist than Trump.

I'm confused as to the timeline with this. He said it was a 20 year ago mistake while he was in prison but I found this article were he went to prison and it was 8 years ago and the article starts off by saying he was a former cop. Did he go to prison before that as well? He's only in his 40's so when did he have time to be a cop if he got his racist tattoos 20 years ago?

The getting nazi tattoos in prison makes sense for a white guy because almost all prison are divided by races. I know a dude who just got home from a 15 year bid in the Feds and he has racist tattoos now that he is working on getting covered up. I'm not one to judge because I've made enough mistakes for a lifetime but his tattoos don't seem to be that big to not be easily covered up.

Solid post as always, I never thought of it in those terms. Please post more.

I have a Norwegian guy that I work with who is also a friend that seems like he could be a Nazi.

I mean he wears Nazi memorabilia and is a member of forums that have alleged white nationalist ties, such as shark hunters, and is pasty with a shaved head.

Either way he is a good guy and socially treats everyone the same...

So if this guy treats people alright I don't care if he has Nazi tattoos or not.

[Darklord]

When are we, as society, going to view Nazi's simply as "those who lost the war"?

Spoiler:

This guy seems like complete moron but the tattoos on his arms are a threat to one.
I am more offended that this pussy shot an unarmed dude 7 times and served less time than a common burglar. If you need a gun to deal with another man, you're a bitch. I'm guessing he got the tattoos to protect himself from all that black dick in prison that he knew was coming his way. Dirty cops are barely treated better than ChiMo's in prison

[Mummra]

yeah i looked him up too and found some more recent scumbaggary so yeah connect the dots.

[Mr Meow]

Yes and in that decade since getting out of prison he has had 0 opportunity to cover them up. None what so ever. A lot of tattoo places will literally cover them for you for free. No excuse they are still there if he is so against them.


I do not think this should dictate Andrea's employment. However we are not going to eat the line of horseshit they are feeding us either


I am glad this got out. Good luck recruiting minorities to your gym in Louisiana shit for brains. Looks like people will be hitting up Rich Clementi's gym instead.

That's kinda where I stand on the issue as well. I'm not going to go out of my way to defend the guy or anything, but let him be. People have their priorities fucked up these days.

I totally disagree with both of you. The swastika is a symbol of hate. Prison stuff aside, you would only wear it if you have hate and feeling of racial superiority in your heart. And not only that, but feel the need to express your racial superiority to the world by wearing it on your skin.

Acts nice or not, he's a scumbag

The name swastika comes from Sanskrit (Devanagari: स्वस्तिक) and denotes "conducive to well being or auspicious". In Hinduism, the clockwise symbol is called swastika, symbolizing surya (sun), prosperity and good luck, while the counterclockwise symbol is called sauvastika, symbolizing night or tantric aspects of Kali.

Spoiler:

you guys should apologize
