and even if he is an accomplished fighter ( jury is still out, we do know that he has never fought MMA though however 'good' his TKD and BJJ is) it doesn't make him a 'better person', he's still the fan boys hero, the guru of the UFC who they follow and make people's lives a misery.
A friend of mine fought in the UFC and lost, Rogan made some very harsh remarks, personal ones not relevant to the fight while commentating. My friend remonstrated with him on Twitter afterwards. Rogan laughed my friend off but his followers, well they went to town on my friend, death threats, personal remarks including those about my friend's son along with threats to him, really nasty stuff, all on Twitter all hash tagged to add Rogan so he knew but did nothing to stop his little friends sustained attacks. It was nasty. It's not the first time this has happened, now people can say Rogan isn't responsible, it's arguable but on the other hand he knew about this campaign and did nothing to try and stop it. Being politically incorrect is actually just another way of being rude and nasty and very hurtful. I guess he takes his money and laughs all the way to the bank.
Yeah this doesn't surprise me at all sadly. I always got the the impression he was the king of douche bros.
He's a comedian/commentator, being good at BJJ and TKD doesn't make him a be all and end all MMA commentator,
I never been impressed with commentating either, I recall watching an old chuck lidel fight and he said something like "excellent Thai kicks." I'm like, ok well he has never done any muay thai sooo.
