Demetrious Johnson: Alcohol a Factor in Fans’ Booing
Demetrious
Johnson, on “Beatdown,”
discussing fans who boo:
“The thing I think about too is when you get alcohol involved with people in the arena watching the sport. I mean, let’s keep it real. You go to Japan, I’m pretty sure nobody is drinking alcohol at the fight. They’re sitting there and they’re admiring the sport and admiring the athletes and appreciating it and showing honor that these men are sacrificing their body for their ... entertainment of the sport. American fans, they’re drunk. They’re belligerent. They’re drinking alcohol. You can’t win. You can’t make everybody happy.”
