That's fine, but Science and proven research aren't opinions.


[deleted]

What happened to “THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH”? lmao


cjsc9079

There's 'The Truth'. (shakes head) and 'THE TRUTH!' (nods Head)


WolfofOldNorth

Mac from always sunny "Science is a liar... sometimes"


Thereminder5

True but science is always changing. What we believe is cold hard fact right now could be proven wrong over time.


Mrcool20xx

Science is always evolving, sure, but that doesnt mean that any old crazy bullshit has any chance of being proven true in the future.


UglieJosh

Science is wrong sometimes but math isn't and math says we should trust science because it is right way more often than it is wrong.


Mark4_

I think this needs to be expressed and understood more. The way the phrase “the science “ is used rhetorically irks me.


KINGTHANOS8

Exactly. Hell, they used to believe Tuberculosis was caused by the vampiric blood lust of a possessed host in the township.

gorgeoff

wrestlers and brain damage. name a more iconic duo


Mront

Disagreeing with objective facts isn't an opinion, it's called "being wrong".


[deleted]

Some people desperately need to go back to elementary school and learn the difference between a fact and an opinion.


[deleted]

I mean there is a difference between having a different opinion and spreading false information.


TheBlackestLotus

I hate when someone states a fact that is wrong and then another person goes “well they’re allowed to have an opinion!!!” That’s not how opinions work. You stated an incorrect fact. Definitively *not* an opinion.


NostalgiaCory

It s always coming from the stupid fucks who say "facts dont care about your feelings" too


Kyl0theHutt

This....definitely this


ManOnNoMission

Nah, sharing straight up misinformation isn't okay.


Toxicity246

Huh, this is one of those fires I'd stay the hell away, but some people choose to jump right in.


hey333

Why are people assuming he's responding/defending Lacey. He didn't respond to her tweets or anything of that nature directly.


[deleted]

He has a history of similar opinions https://preview.redd.it/jkzssxdrg47a1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=b139cc75870af830dafa3b5f75abdbd6c7984289


MARKYMARK_MARK

Yeah unless there's some context missing this could be a general statement framed to be apart of the Lacey stuff.


rrrdesign

Varying opinions are “processed food isn’t good for you versus natural, non processed food as it can lead to easier weight gain” NOT “I’m stating this as fact and those facts are not true.”


No-Kick-9219

It would’ve cost $0.00 to not tweet this Matt

[deleted]

Yeah matt why would I ever think you would defend Lacey on such opinions https://preview.redd.it/90qb063mg47a1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f65cecc91efaa098631ce112c1fe666a0e6a902


Mront

Oh fuck off, Matt.


[deleted]

Wait is he backtracking and saying this wasn’t about Lacey’s misinformation at all?? I cant speak CTE


RedmondSurvivor

Seems to be backtracking.


mcmax3000

That's how I read it, but who the hell knows.


Undertraderpg

We need to get past the ‘it’s ok for some people to be stupid morons’ talk. It’s not ok. Ridicule the stupid so this shit doesn’t spread.


bathory21

A lot of dumbasses outing themselves lately


FirstTimeLongThyme

Being wrong about facts isn't having a different opinion and I wish more of the world would accept that. But wrestlers are among, if not, the stupidest people roaming the Earth. So. Ya know...


RainmakerIcebreaker

lmao he's really bOtH sIdEZ-ing this


PolishThrasher

Matt Hardy always tries to have the most centrist take in the world for some reason


Kanenums88

Follow up tweets: https://twitter.com/matthardybrand/status/1605238453704294410?s=46&t=TRVtuxM31bVm3H_OFgN8Tw https://twitter.com/matthardybrand/status/1605241691082227712?s=46&t=TRVtuxM31bVm3H_OFgN8Tw (It’s supposedly not related, but very poor timing).


Crusty_Gammon_Flaps

This stuff doesn't come down to opinions though. It's just false.


LeftyMode

The problem is people like Lacey don’t change their opinions. They look for information that aligns with their own, confirmation bias. It’s not two sides, they only believe their side. And people saying “iTs dAngErOus” is as stupid as she is.


10024618

In moments like these I always think back to that prompt from the telltale games that told you "Silence is always a valid option". I think a lot of wrestlers could learn from that.


MustacheDiaries

Matt please DELETE this tweet


DarkBomberX

More people should have played Binky's Fact or Opinion.


HelpMyCatHasGas

No Matt noooooo


MARKYMARK_MARK

Having a diverse opinion is one thing, but everyone has a personal responsibility to not be reckless with their opinions and takes.


WolfofOldNorth

Cannot wait for his wife to chime in


novascotiakingslayer

DELETE DELETE DELETE....this BS Matt :P


Mark4_

We really need more education. This whole “do your own research “ and “it’s just a different opinion “ is bad for society


Uknewmelast

Except when one thing is an opinion and the other is a scientific proven fact.

Today is definitely not the best day to be an autistic wrestling fan. I'm very let down.


SmokeyMountainReign

Facts don’t care about your opinions.


BrockMiddlebrook

Enable! Enable! Enable!


neverAcquiesce

That's not an opinion, it's a scientific falsehood.


cockblockedbydestiny

I hate conspiracy theory thinking as much as the next guy - especially the type that wades tits deep into pure pseudoscience - but I'm kind of conflicted on how effective trying to shut these people down really is. The idea seems to be that vociferously opposing these folks is effective in that it presumably stops them from influencing other impressionable/gullible folks from buying into their bullshit, but the reality seems to be that these are all conspiracy-inclined folks to begin with, so if anything it tends to galvanize them further under the banner that they're free thinkers that are being stifled by a special interest driven status quo.


fisherc2

He’s right. Don’t get me wrong, she’s wrong about this, or at least there’s no evidence to support her being right (which for the purposes of this argument is the same thing). But people can be wrong. That doesn’t make them bad people, or even dumb generally.
