After Wal-Mart came out publicly on banning the sell of her book in their stores due to the fact that she is too violent, Ronda Rousey only had a few words for the retail giant:
“Success is the best revenge”
Ronda Rousey has responded to Wal-Mart banning the sale of her book in their stores.
Yahoo! reported last week that the giant store banned sales of Rousey’s upcoming memoir, “My Fight/Your Fight,” because they deem her to be too violent. They were allowing people to order her book through their website, though.
On Wednesday, Rousey posted on Instagram about the matter with the adage that “success is the best revenge.”
“Success is the best revenge” one of many lessons I learned from fighting that helped me fight through life’s battles off the mat and outside the octagon. @walmart is welcome to watch the success of this publication from the sidelines if they choose.
As Yahoo! pointed out, it seems hypocritical that Wal-Mart sells guns and ammunition in their store but deems what Rousey does in the Octagon as too violent.
Wal-Mart is really up on their high horse on this whole thing. Like the good folks over at Yahoo! pointed out, how can you talk about someone being too violent when you are a gun retailer? That doesn’t make one lick of sense.
I think Rousey’s book will sell with or without Wal-Mart’s help just because of who she is and her fan base, but it sure is interesting to see a major retailer take a stance like this.
