Alright, so you wanna know about this Ariel Helwani and O.J. Simpson thing, huh? Let me tell ya, I don’t know much about these city folks and their fancy talk, but I’ll tell you what I heard, the way I understand it.
Ariel Helwani, that fella, he’s a big deal in the fighting world, like, the really big deal. They say he’s the best at talkin’ about those fellas beatin’ each other up in the ring. Heard they call him “MMA Journalist of the Year” many times. Don’t ask me what that MMA stuff means, probably somethin’ like wrestlin’ but with more punches.
Now, this Helwani, he has a show, a talk show, where he chats with all sorts of tough guys, the ones who do the punchin’ and kickin’. It’s called “The Ariel Helwani Show”, I think. Seems like a lot of folks listen to him, watch him on that internet thingy. They say he gets all the big news, you know, who’s fightin’ who, who’s gonna win, all that jazz. He’s a real popular fella, I reckon.
Then there’s this O.J. Simpson fella. Now, him, I heard about him even way out here. He used to be a football star, runnin’ and throwin’ that ball. But then, somethin’ bad happened, real bad. I ain’t gonna say too much, but it was all over the news years back. Let’s just say he got into a heap of trouble, big trouble.
So, what’s the connection, you ask? Well, it seems like some folks are makin’ a fuss about a shirt. Yeah, you heard that right, a shirt. Seems like there’s a picture of this Helwani fella and O.J. Simpson on a shirt, together, like they’re pals or somethin’. Now, I don’t know if they’re actually friends, but that’s what the shirt shows.
- Some folks saw this shirt and got real riled up.
- They started talkin’ about it on that Twitter thing. You know, where folks write all sorts of stuff, short and quick like.
- Seems like this other fella, a fighter or somethin’, was wearin’ this shirt and he took a picture with Helwani.
- Then he put it up on the internet for everyone to see.
And that’s when the whole thing blew up. Folks started arguin’ about it. Some folks thinkin’ it’s funny, some folks thinkin’ it’s disrespectful, considerin’ the trouble that O.J. Simpson fella got into. Me? I don’t know what to think. It’s just a shirt, ain’t it? But I guess city folks get worked up about different things than us country folk.
This Helwani guy, he also does interviews with fighters, real talkative ones too, seems like. Heard he interviewed this Jorge Masvidal fella, and it was somethin’ else. Folks were goin’ crazy about it. And then there’s this other show he does, with a bunch of other fellas, they call themselves the “Boys in the Back”. Don’t know what they talk about exactly, but it’s popular, people listenin’ to it, watchin’ it.
I tell ya, this city life, it’s somethin’ else. They got these shows, and shirts, and this Twitter thingy, always somethin’ going on. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it. But back to this Helwani and O.J. Simpson thing, it just goes to show you, people will talk about anythin’, even a silly ol’ shirt. It seems like people use Helwani’s name to stir things up, to start trouble, he’s that famous I guess. Now, is Helwani a good fella, a bad fella, I don’t know, but he sure knows how to get folks talkin’ and that’s a fact.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this Ariel Helwani and O.J. Simpson kerfuffle. Probably more to it, but that’s all this old woman can understand. They’re probably talkin’ about somethin’ else already, those city folks, always jumpin’ from one thing to another. Me? I’m gonna go back to my gardenin’. At least plants don’t talk back.
