they’re awfully quiet. They said he was the modern-day Ali. They said he was the bravest and toughest sportsman in Ireland. They said he was the sportsperson of the year and that those of us who objected to his conduct, his racist comments and his sport were out of synch with the times.

Not a word from them now. The champions of Conor McGregor are quiet while their man continues his dismal spiral through the grubbiest of headlines.

Much more of this and one fears they’ll desert him altogether.
