I liked Serra's reaction when he heard about it, calling Hughes a "whackjob." Man, I doubt it'll happen, but I'd love to see Serra kick Hughes butt. But, wishful thinking I fear.
Yeah, I'd like to see it happen too, but I doubt it will. I'm sick of how much of the show is being taken up by the guido whimp that Serra brought with him. Let him go home and marry the girl that he was just wondering about cheating on him and move on to something less ****ing lame.
Like I said earlier it was weird, and wouldnt surprise me if it was a script, but from what I caught watching it; It was about somebody predicting the birth of christ, Hughes asked them to figure out who he was, I assume what he was getting at was that he saw great things in the fighters and that they would go on to have success. A decent idea for motivation, but a terrible analogy, and flat out awkward.
I wonder what the reaction would be if one of the coaches on the show pulled out the Koran and asked his guys to read some passages. I'm not saying the Koran is ultimately any different from the bible, but I'm willing to bet that some of the people now defending Hughes would criticize someone who handed out copies of the Koran. This was simply a thinly veiled attempt by Hughes to shove his religion down other people's throats. Oh sure, he tried to pretend it was just to read one simple story. But don't be surprised if this trend continues in future episodes where he encourages more and more for his team to keep reading the holy book. Sure, he's free to do whatever he wants, but he might find this tactic actually does more harm that good. A person's religion (or lack of religion) is a very personal matter, and if the perception is created among the guys on his team who don't share Hughe's ideology that the Christian guys are more favoured by their coach, it could end up being divisive.
I'd like to see one of the guys on the team bring in some Scientology literature and hand out copies to everyone. "Hey everyone, check out chapter 6. It's got a really good story in there. Let's see how well that plays.
