Title: Ronda Rousey's Book Walmart WILL Sell It, But Won't Show It
Post by: Black Death on April 07, 2015, 03:05:41 AM
Walmart thinks Ronda Rousey should be sold, and not seen -- the retail giant denies banning her upcoming book from its stores, but there's a catch.

A report circulated all weekend that Walmart was refusing to sell Ronda's "My Fight, Your Fight" ... because she's "too violent." That sounded ridiculous, considering what the UFC champ does for a living, but turns out there might be something to it.

Spokesperson Danit Marquardt tells TMZ Sports ... Walmart has been anticipating Ronda's book release since last September, and you can already pre-order it on the company's website.
However, she did confirm the book will not be on display in Walmart stores. You can pick it up in the store if you order it online. In other words ... the book will be in the stock room, but not out for customers to see.
As for why Walmart's hiding Ronda's memoir -- Marquardt wouldn't comment on the "too violent" report ... but said "a variety of factors" played into the decision to only offer it online.

Given the amount of fights that happen in walmart on a daily basis, I don't think they have room to complain about violence.

Wow, I didn't realize that they have such upright ethics. Maybe I'll consider lifting my boycott of them some day. ::)

Just buy it on Amazon or like Barnes & Noble or something.  It's not like you really want to give Walmart money anyway unless you absolutely have to do so.  Besides, they already have more than enough that they won't give to their employees for higher wages and/or insurance in the first place.
