Jornalista responsável: Anna Carolina Cortez Diagramação e tratamento: Fábio Vantini Direção de Arte - Big Blue Licenses - Monica Arruda e Carlos Ameni Impressão:Type Brasil INTRODUÇÃO Bad Boy, a primeira em lutas! A Bad Boy chegou ao Brasil em 1992 através de Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso, um casal de surfistas que possuía uma marca de surf, a ST COMP. A Bad Boy se tornou referência nacional. Patrocinou atletas e eventos, formou campeões e apoiou as lutas até mesmo quando os olhos da população estavam voltados para outras modalidades de esporte. E, no momento em que os holofotes se voltam para os ringues e mostram ao mundo um pouco mais sobre as artes marciais, a Bad Boy mostra que sempre esteve presente nos tatames, nos ringues e na vida dos atletas. Nas páginas a seguir apresentamos um pouco do que fez a Bad Boy se tornar a “Imagem da Vitória, a Marca do Guerreiro”. 1982 O INÍCIO A Bad Boy surgiu no início dos anos 80, em San Diego, Califórnia como uma marca local de surf, skate e motorsports, patrocinando atletas com personalidade forte e de atitude como o Havaiano Johnny Boy Gomes. Dez anos depois da criação da Bad Boy, dois novos personagens entraram em cena: Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso. Para promover a ST Comp, loja de surf da qual eram donos, eles realizavam campeonatos de surf no Brasil e viajavam para todos os cantos do mundo para fazer pesquisas de mercado.

  • Legalization of Cage Fighting in New York Dear State Assembly Member
    January 10, 2012 Re: Legalization of cage fighting in New York Dear State Assembly Member: We are writing you to raise concerns about renewed efforts by Zuffa LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), to legalize cage fighting in the State of New York. You are no doubt aware that the State of New York banned cage fighting in 1997. We urge you to continue to uphold the ban on cage fighting, given that the UFC, the largest promoter of cage fighting events in the U.S., has failed to demonstrate that it is willing to ensure its fighters behave in a socially responsible way, even as the company expressly markets its fights and fighters to children. We believe that the UFC contributes to a culture of violence against women, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. Children, in particular, should not be exposed to the homophobic, misogynistic and violent language that has been permitted by the UFC. Please see the following website, UFC = Unfit For Children (www.UnfitForChildren.org), for more information. Some examples of anti-gay and anti-women statements by people associated with the UFC include the following: In videos, UFC light heavyweight Quinton “Rampage” Jackson repeatedly urged Japanese fans to repeat an anti-gay slur.1 The fans, who do not appear to understand English, repeated the anti-gay slur at Jackson’s urging. In one video, Jackson instructed a Japanese man to say, “Goodbye, I want you to piss on my face.”2 Recently, a UFC fighter taunted his opponent by threatening to act like former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who has been charged with 52 counts of molesting boys.
