“MODERN FAMILY” STAR ED O’NEILL TALKS BULLYING ON “INSIDE MMA” TONIGHT ON HDNET
Jun 24, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Award winning actor Ed O’Neill joins the panel of HDNet’s hit sports show “Inside MMA” tonight, June 24th, 2011. “Inside MMA” hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten are joined by panelists O’Neill (“Modern Family” “Married With Children”),UFC co-creator Rorion Gracie and UFC Featherweight Javier Vasquez to cover wide-ranging hot topics facing MMA.
During a revealing discussion on bullying, O’Neill talks about being bullied as a child but that a “code of honor among boys” prevents kids from talking to a teacher or adult about such issues. And Gracie, who has been O’Neill’s Jiu-Jitsu mentor for over 17 years, matter-of-factly says “bullies are not born, they are created.”
