Is it important for Dana White to be more professional? To look, act, & DRESS the part?

[flakxd]

Important press conference, where almost all of the employees are dressed-up....with ties, jackets, three-piece suits, etc.

Then the boss, the man most visible throughout this entire process is wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt & jeans.

It's almost as unprofessional and expected as all of the profanity, lies, and immature behavior.

Come on Dana, let's be a little more progressive here.

Why? The vast majority of fans have no interest in him being dressed in a damn suit and using perfect language. I don't see much benefit for them in it currently. Maybe some day that will change if MMA continues to grow.

 

[Reign009]

Professional? That ship has sailed long ago my friend.

 

[Cold Front]

No.

Next dumb question.

 

[deralict22]

Dana just wouldn't be Dana then.

So why ask the fighters to dress up and look presentable/professional? You think they all did that on their own? They were told to cause it makes the company look professional. Why go to the trouble with the lowly employees and expect that out of them if the central figure who is most visible does the exact opposite?

And for Dana White to throw around the term "pussy" is deplorable.

One of the goals of a successful person is to be able to dress however the fuck you want.

 

[Dream Evil]

I don't mind his foul language so much, but his tough guy act has worn thin. He carries himself as if he were just as bad ass as the fighters on his payroll.....like they're all lucky he hasn't decided to step into the cage and whoop them all.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Lol no, the UFC is as real as it gets fool

Also TS you don't know what progressive means. It doesn't mean trend towards the status quo

 

[RetiredSlave]

No Id like to see him dress down more actually. To hell with corporate vanity bigtime.

 

[Psychedelic]

He's too rich to give a fuck.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Yea its definitely been holding him back so far

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer him to act more professional as well. But that is my personal preference. It's readily apparent that his presence is having no negative impact on the growth of the UFC. As a fan, you really need to think about the overall audience of the sport and what that sport is.

 

[Word]

Dana could drop dead today and there would be 0 negative outcomes for the UFC or MMA in general. What he wears has no significance. In 2005, when it could have made a difference? Sure, maybe he would have been well advised to wear a suit.

 

[Goatenstein]

Judging people by their clothes is just a racism equivalant way to be intolerant.

 

[Edgar Allan Hoe]

MMA has always garnered the classless crowds so honestly he's presenting himself just fine. Similar to how Trump presents himself. They are both appealing to their base.

 

[QcChopper]

Yeah, he should dress like every other shark, crook and politician.

And besides, who cares, are you the fashion police?

 

[French Canadian]

Steve Jobs wore jeans and black long sleeves.

 

[KaneThePhoenix]

Hahahaha!

TS came on for his daily or Saturday dose of self affirmation in the form of Sherbro likes and or opinions that back his up and left with nothing.

Also, one of the guys that STARTED the nicely tailored suits and dressing up was GSP.

He did so already, before anyone told him. Good try TS. Seriously.

Please go back to playing CoD now or whatever it is you kids like now a days!
