Opinion Trump and the UFC - Neutral Take...

SuperAlly said:
Has there been a backlash against those people like we are seeing here?

You say "would". It did happen. They did do it. Where's the comparable response saying they had no right to endorse or be propaganda tools for the left?

It certainly hasn't happened to the same extent

It hasn't, I just wanted to call them cringe. The avengers thing reminded me of that weird fucking phone call ad they did for Harris.
 
Lot of salt up in this place.

Get over it lol.
 
Funny. I didn't see Trump once on my totally legit website for the fights.

I guess if you are there as a fight fan or just to be entertained sets the difference.

Nice way of saying you don't stand for anything.

people who voted for Trump voted for policy.

Energy policy, border policy, inflation, foreign policy, crime and cost of living. Anyone who voted based on these issues didn't have to be left or right, they just had to have common sense.

Only a low iq celebrity who lives in a gated community or an emotional woman could have not voted for Trump.

Elon used to be a leftist but even he understood what was at stake here. I remember growing up democrats were a real thing and were a lot like like Trump is today.

The democrat party today has been completely hijacked by mentally ill liberals who don't understand how their electricity is powered.

Hespect, bud.

Neither am I, but I keep informed about this stuff because it's vital for the whole rest of the world.

I'll PM you some stuff.

I think this is a good read. Yet, even if a relatively small minority of the workers, viewers, and fighters in the UFC are democrat leaning, this was needlessly polarizing. I seriously had a friend tonight who walked out of the fights, and said he's done with the UFC. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people, who feel very strongly politically, would take such stances. It seems needlessly confrontational and taking one side of a very divisive issue.

yep don't blame your friend i lean left also while not loving them i shut it off after 1 fight the whole video package and everything just left a bad taste in my mouth. i understand if you wanna show him i n his seat like celebs but the whole entrance followed by video package was beyond cringe level.

I wish you good luck with dealing with your ptsd from seeing someone that you don't like on the teevee box with the moving pictures. Hopefully you and the OP's friend will meet at the same safe space to cry it out.
 
I was in the category of voting for ANYBODY BUT TRUMP, but the guy won and we as Americans have to accept that. I just hope he does a great job now, and I don't mind at all if he shows up at UFC fights. It's the only thing he supports that I agree with!

Trump tapped into the WWF market of the slightly more 'loser' side of the male demographic, the kind that fetishise the warrior the strongman and probably harbour fantasies of strength and power of a kind they will never have. The Vince McMahon documentary on netflix touches on it better than I can.. this is just the next evolution of that. What percentage of Kamala voters do you think watch UFC? And how many UFC viewers like Trump? You might not like it but it makes sense for him to go on a PR push in that kind of environment

You mean tapped into the UFC market of very loser side of the male demographic.....

Donald Trump, like a ton of MMA fans, are bottom of the barrel scabs, dirt on the bottom of your shoe, shitstains of society
 
It’s fucking stupid and it’s attracting the wrong crowd to the sport. I have a friend who is a trump bootlicker and just became a ufc fan ( not mma as a whole) ….the only thing he asks about a fighter is whether said fighter likes trump or not. Not even asking about that fighter’s record or background (bjj/wreslin/striking).

I couldn’t care less about politics and I don’t hate or love a guy I don’t even know. But yeah…. i wish Dana had kept our beloved sport clean and away fron fucking politics.

Leave that shit to cnn, fox etc….

Actually the UFC wouldn't even exist if it were not for Trump.

He was the first to offer his venues to host fights. Trump's been a lifelong UFC fan

The ufc was going to disappear like dinosaurs anyway. Trump did help Dana and the ufc, he was a good friend and supporter but that wasn’t going to be enough. The ufc was drowning in debt and on its way out. Frank told Dana they were about to call it a day if things kept going that way. It was a business disaster until the Fertitas and Craig Piligian came up with the idea of the ultimate fighter. Albie Hecht was heavily involved too. Without tuf there would have not been Forest vs Bonnar ( may he rip), and you can bet your ass there would be no UFC if it wasn’t for that fight. It was a complete money pit, like a 2010 bmw.
