From Champion to Controversy: McGregor's Mascot Knockdown Incident Stirs Debate

By admin

Conor McGregor, the Irish professional mixed martial artist, recently made headlines when he accidentally knocked down a mascot during a publicity event for a whiskey brand. The incident took place in Russia, where McGregor was promoting his brand, Proper No. Twelve whiskey. McGregor was seen playfully interacting with the mascot, a man dressed as a tiger, before suddenly striking him with a left hook. The incident happened so quickly that it initially appeared to be intentional, stirring up a controversy among fans and the media. However, McGregor later clarified that it was an accident and expressed remorse for his actions.



Return of Reckoning

I've heard many times on the forum that you still can download addons and addon packs from Curse, so i checked out Curse site, found a client and couldn't find a way to do what i wanted with it. The obvious secret is, you need an old client (v5) for it. While it still works.

1. Download and install old (v5) curse client
The link to the old client is in one of the comments here: https://mods.curse.com/news/curse/2121- . lion-users
The link itself: http://clientupdate-v5.curse.com/

2. Find Curse link for addon you want
After installing, you can click "Install via Curse client" button on the curse site, the client will start a download.
The problem is, the button is present only on addon packs pages (example: https://mods.curse.com/addon-packs/war/ . g-you-5840) and all the addon pages are 404. But there's a way to download addons individually or those not included in packs too:

Use a link like curse://mods.curse.com/addons/war/addonname/download-client where addonname is the name of addon's curse page (paste link into your browser address bar and press enter, curse client should catch it and start a download).

For example, quicktacticswitch - the addon i was looking for so long. Here it is (with page name "qts"):
curse://mods.curse.com/addons/war/qts/download-client

Notes
I noticed that curse client downloads a 13mb addon database but still doesn't show any addons you don't have (and it doesn't even show all addons you have). Would be really cool if someone could find a way to either display them, or get a list of addon pages from it.
The download location for database zip is one of the subfolders in . \user\AppData\Local\Temp\Curse\, but i had no luck opening it (btw client tries to delete all zips it downloaded after extracting, so you'd have to work around that too. Or find the extracted thing somewhere).

tl;dr
1. download curse client http://clientupdate-v5.curse.com/
2. install it, log in, set up warhammer folder
3. use curse://mods.curse.com/addons/war/addonname/download-client (where addonname is the curse page name of addon) or "Install via Curse client" buttons to download addons

Edit: note that many addons are outdated and some addons have newer fixed versions posted, so i recommend using this to download addons you just can't find anywhere else.
Edit2: forgot "/download-client" at the end of links
Edit3: changed the formatting a little

Minecraft - Wine + Curse Client = .

Post by mike44njdevils » Fri Jan 06, 2017 11:14 am

I'm perfectly fine using MultiMC to keep track of my instances and log in, however I like to tinker with modpacks. My favorite feature of the Curse Client is showing which mods in your modpack have updates. I like that "bleeding edge" aspect. I also like being able to just click to disable a certain mod.

Has anyone tried running the Curse Client in Wine? Not to actually PLAY MC, but to build modpacks?

Just a little update. Was unable to get Curse Client to run under Wine 1.8.6 or 2.3. I didn't try the staging binary though, and I really didn't tinker all that much with the install.

Curse clinet

So I just downloaded the Curse Client, wanna use some addons to help me out healing. But whats suspicious is that I - in "My Addons" (rift) saw this addon called: "(LibSata) Safe's Table Library". What is this addon and what does it do? *Schwarzenegger style*

Is the addon safe?
Would very much appreciate a response :)

It's just an index of information that one of the addons will make use of. It's totally safe! Promise! There's nothing available on curse or riftui that are malicious or unsafe in any way. They're all screened really well.

However, McGregor later clarified that it was an accident and expressed remorse for his actions. He explained that the punch was meant to be a playful gesture but misjudged the distance, resulting in the unexpected knockdown. The incident highlighted the fine line between entertainment and potential injuries in promotional events, reminding both performers and spectators of the importance of safety and caution.

Conner mcgregor knocks down mascot

While McGregor's mistake received criticism, it serves as a reminder that even professional athletes can make errors in judgment..

Reviews for "Conor McGregor's Mascot Debacle: Breaking Down the Public Reaction"

1. Melissa - 1/5 stars:
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the video of Conner McGregor knocking down a mascot. It was absolutely disgraceful and showed a complete lack of sportsmanship. McGregor's actions were not only inappropriate but also dangerous, as he could have seriously injured the person inside the mascot suit. As a fan of combat sports, I expect athletes to behave with integrity and respect, both inside and outside the ring. McGregor's behavior in this video was a clear violation of those principles, and I cannot support or condone such actions.
2. Ethan - 2/5 stars:
While I understand that Conner McGregor is known for his controversial behavior and antics, I believe his actions in the video where he knocks down a mascot were simply unnecessary. It seems like McGregor is constantly seeking attention and trying to create a spectacle rather than focusing on his abilities as a fighter. Additionally, his lack of consideration for the individual inside the mascot suit is concerning. The person inside the costume may have been injured, and McGregor seemed to show no remorse or concern afterwards. This incident left a bad taste in my mouth and made me question McGregor's character as a professional athlete.
3. Samantha - 3/5 stars:
Although I did not particularly enjoy watching the video of Conner McGregor knocking down a mascot, I have to admit that it did generate a lot of buzz and publicity for him. McGregor has always been a controversial figure in the world of combat sports, and this incident further solidified his reputation. While I don't condone his actions, I can understand why some people find his behavior entertaining or intriguing. However, I do think that McGregor should be more mindful of the consequences of his actions and the message it sends to his fans, especially the younger ones who may look up to him as a role model.
