I've noticed that over the years the hate for Dana White has grown on this forum. It seems like this newer, younger generation of Sherdog users are always complaining about Dana and how he's "ruining" the sport.
But I think these younger guys need to really look at Dana not as an antagonist but as an inspiration.
Right now we have a lot of fucking young people in this country who are lost and don't know what to do with themselves. They feel because they are college educated that they are entitled to a great job with perks. They complain about student loan debt, the poor job market, not getting laid etc. They blame the system for their problems. They believe the "corrupt government", greedy baby boomers, evil bankers, and picky women are the cause of their misery. Anyone but them.
Take your fucking head out of your phone for a second and log off instagram and look around you. You live in the greatest country on earth. And I swear to God, Dana White is proof of how great this country can be if you sack up and work hard.
The man grew up without a father. His mother spent most of her time working to provide for Dana, so Dana was often at home by himself. He barely graduated High School and never went to college. He bounced from job to job doing things like bartending, security, and hospitality work. He finally got fed up one day while working at a hotel and decided he would never work for anyone ever again.
He went on to open a boxing gym and other fitness centers. He then heard through the grapevine that UFC was on the market. He raised money and bought the company and the rest is history.
Now that's what this fucking country is about! I feel like if more of you young millenials stopped bashing Dana and honestly looked at how he improved his life through hard work and sacrifice, you would have an example to strive towards.
Your life is difficult because of you. Don't blame the government, Wall St., or Sallie Mae. Blame yourself.
If a man from a single parent home with no college education can become president of a $3b company then that's proof that we live in a marvelous country if you are willing to work hard.
But I fear the generation that Dana is from is a dying one. Now everybody wants the good life handed to them.
Don't hate Dana, learn from him. We all have gifts but not all of us will use them. Don't buy into this generations lies.
