      First time I had to do this...

      A funny thing happened to me while checking out at the grocery store today. There i was going about my business unloading my cart kind of oblivious to the people around me until I hear this little squeaky voice say "Hey you're no animal"! It was just the cashier trying to be cute.She of course was referring to my very stylish ANIMAL T that I was sporting. People found her little comment to be quite humorous, I for one just thought she was being a total ass but amongst the giggles and snide remarks I thought do I pass up this teaching moment I quickly came to my senses and decided NAH! These good people needed to know exactly what it meant to be ANIMAL, and what the shirt represented. So after a 15 minute dissertation I am pleased to announce that all the folks in that line and surrounding area as well as store security will now know what it means next time they see anything even remotely resembling the ANIMAL logo.

      You got riled up over a cute comment from a grocery store cashier? And did I understand that right, you lectured them for 15 minutes??

      I for one pray that you're exaggerating or pulling our leg. Because that is one of the lamest fucking things I've ever heard. In the event that you actually are serious, it is a certainty that if any of those people see the Animal logo again, they're going to assume whoever is wearing it, is the biggest douche bag outside the cast of Jersey Shore. Strong work.

      Get over yourself.

      Mr. Motta is It? If you don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident why would you assume I'm the douche? We are expected to be tolerant of others right Mr. Motta? No judgements right? I do my part conforming to societies rules my friend. But when someone infringes on my liberties I have to draw a hard line. THANKS for having my back brother. No where did I state that profanity was used during the exchange nor did I raise my voice. I merely explained that the word ANIMAL that appeared on my shirt represents a brotherhood that is forged with blood,sweat, and tears. A group of people dedicated to there craft. You talk the talk brother. But I seriously have to question if you WALK THE WALK.

      In all honesty, some people take this shit way too serious. Like...I train hard and consistently, and it’s become my number one priority outside of work and family - and for many out there, they do this shit for a living as well - but at the end of the day, we’re talking about dudes picking things up and putting them down. Regardless of our individual reasons or passions, most in the outside world don’t give a rats ass.

      There was a gym about an hour away from me that held a sort of ABC type event yesterday that some people I train with attended, and the shit was just comical to me. The FB event post was like “come on out to our big massive epic training party! It’s gonna be super lit, and there’s gonna be ____ media there to capture it all!”

      I saved my gas money, entrance fee, and the 2 hours round trip and trained by myself in the AM. I did the same shit in an empty gym by myself that I would have with 20 people standing around screaming, and holding a fuckin phone in my face - just so that they can talk about how “savage” they are on social media.

      I think we're missing the point here...

      I have never bullied or publically criticized nor humiliated anyone for any reason. So I would expect the same in return. Reasonable, no? I don't voice my opinion to someone sporting a satanic tattoo. Why? Because that would be rude. I always reserve commentary on Muslim women wearing hijabs fully covering everything but there eyes or Pakistani men dressed in long flowing gowns. Why because that would be downright disrespectful. If that same cashier who felt the need to single me out for my t shirt would've let say asked a "cute" question about a rainbow t shirt she'd be on the 6 o'clock news. So shame on me for defending something that is important to me.

      I think what you´re talking about is the total opposite to the "Animal Mentality" and brotherhood Spartan was lecturing these poor people about but I agree on the "take this shit way too serious." part.

      🤤wow!! Someone needs to check this guy. I don't belittle or berate. Respect differences. I inspire, inform and educate about Animal son without insulting comments. That comment should be stricken and you my friend should be admonished!
