Does the UFC really need criminals headlining UFC White House?

[jsbx45]

Tbf Carter had his buddy musicians do a hippy concert on the White House lawn and his son later got high on the roof with Willie Nelson. That didn’t seem to ruffle any feathers…

——-​

President Jimmy Carter was famously friends with several musicians while in office, including country performer Willie Nelson. In 1980, Nelson, a well-known pot smoker, visited the White House for a concert in the Rose Garden and somehow managed to get high atop the presidential residence afterward. The musician wrote in his memoir, “Sitting on the roof of the White House in Washington, D.C., late at night with a beer in one hand and a fat Austin Torpedo in the other, I drifted into a reflective mood. Nobody from the Secret Service was watching us — or if they were, it was with the intention of keeping us out of trouble instead of getting us into it.”

Nelson was apparently not alone — Chip Carter, President Carter’s son, accompanied Nelson that night. In the memoir, Nelson reflected on his journey to that moment, noting, “I let the weed cover me with a pleasing cloud and reflected on what a long, strange trip it had been from smoking cedar bark and grapevine at the age of 4 or 5 … to sitting on the roof of the White House sharing a number in the warm, humid night.”

Did Carter Jr and Willie Nelson go out that night and beat up anybody, get in any hit and run accidents, rape any woman, beat any of their spouses, use cocaine, threaten any law enforcement officers, assault any senior citizens, throw any dollies through a bus window injuring coworkers, or DUCK ANY OPPONENTS? No they did not. That event ruffled plenty of feathers or else you wouldn't even be talking about it now. Shut the f*** up with that nonsense.

Relax buddy, it wasn’t addressed to you. Unless you’ve done a full background check on the musicians in that concert, you can’t really make that claim.

But more seriously, what in your life is making you this angry? Maybe we can help…

It´s already a criminal at the White House. Doesn´t really matter if another one fights there.

Lotta dumb librards on sherdog. Who knew?

Herp derp, orange man BAD

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

A fight card at the White House actually sounds pretty bad ass to me

Whether you like trump or hate him - it would be kool to see for a one time spectacle like the sphere event

It is the wrong era for it though really. The UFC barely feels American these days and theres a lack of elite American talent. Plus doing it during this presidency feels like the UFC attaching itself to Trump specifically rather than being a more general not so political patriotic/cool spectacle thing like it would have back in the day.

I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again, this should be a can crusher event where we get spectacular kos via skill discrepancy ala Pridefc

Good analysis, you're right on

Exactly, I love this sport and it's the only one I watch, but I don't give a fuck about an event at the White House. This country is so fucked right now and there's nothing to celebrate.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I mean, the POTUS is a Felon, so TS failed this thread, lol. That said, Felons seem to do a better job running this country then Senile Presidents.

 

[High Test With da Best]

It's not a good look, I'll admit.

Honestly, they should just do a #PowerSlap event instead of UFC. MMA is full of drug addicts, criminals, and gay porn stars. That's perfectly fine, no judgement. But is that really who we want representing the American People? I don't think so.

Power Slap competitors though, totally different story. These are stand-up guys. Hardworking, disciplined, and they love this country. They respect law and order. Some of the best people, really.

I mean, the heavyweight champion has a law degree. Very smart. Very strong. Disciplined. And he’s defending his title tomorrow night at #PowerSlap14, 6PM in LAX, 9PM TDot, live and FREE on YouTube. That’s a beautiful thing.



Some people are calling him the Fedor Emelianenko of slap fighting. That’s a big deal. You’re not gonna want to miss it. It’s gonna be HUGE.

At LAX?

They're slapping at the airport?

President Pedderass wants to distract his mouth breathing MAGA cult from the fact he likes underage girls.

You're supporting a guy doing everything in his power to protect a phile ring (because he was very likely part of it).

Not sure you should be calling anyone dumb...

Given how many worldwide sufferers there are of Trump Derangement Syndrome, think how much this will do for the growth of the UFC.

Those with TDS will not only tune into anything Trump-related, but hyper analyse and obsess over it.

Potentially millions, who would never otherwise watch UFC, could end up enjoying the fights and becoming long-term fans.
