Opinion Trump and the UFC - Neutral Take...

More like why are all the dorks who cried about the NBA & NFL being political light for social issues now drooling that Trump gets an official walkout with the entire RNC at every UFC card now.

Things that make you go hmmmmm

Yeah how dare things be a fair 50/50 split
 
I didn't vote, because I am completely disillusioned with the American left, but I also do not endorse the republican right.

I think it is a mistake to turn the UFC into a platform for political propaganda. Dana is free to support Trump and they are free to give him free seats, as well as to anyone else they want. And they can and should show him in attendance, as they do with celebrities, and even emphasize his presence, as they have done. But as a company, they represent the fighters, workers and fanbase, and many people involved, including the fighters, might not align with that message or with actively showing a trailer for the guy. Even if a minority is in that position, it generates polarization.

This is selfish and disrespectful to fighters: the company represents not only the will of the owners, but the people that work and compete there. It was a polarizing and needless avowal of Trump.

Leaving freedom for any fighter to express their views is good; making the show a vehicle of support for one side of a very divisive bipartisan political system, is not. I would think the exact same thing regardless of the politician, party, or position.

Flame away...
I find it very distasteful since I don't care for Trump at all but on some level the UFC owes a debt to him for the fact that he allowed them in his venues when the sport was young and stigmatized. And its his company so Dana can do what he wants, certainly other entertainment entities won't make their political preferences a secret so I guess Dana's entitled to do the same with his firm.
 
Hey @Ludwig von Mises pussy you still there? I saw your dumbshit post before you deleted it like the coward that you are.

“You sound like someone who never owned a business.”

As if owning a business means you’re the ruling elite and no one else can have an opinion about things like immigration and inflation.

You remind me of another micro penis on these forums that was so flustered that he had no other recourse but to challenge me to post my W2. Weakness. Pure and simple.

I don’t need to tout my accolades and accomplishments on a karate forum, but apparently, you do. This makes you a weak bitch. All I ever post is my opinion and actual video of myself competing and winning in BJJ comp. Seriously man. Fuck off.

Cry more and cope harder. I didn't delete anything it was a mod and I don't even know why, I didn't write anything that bad. Lastly show me where I touted anything. Anyone reading these posts knows what time it is with clowns like you and the other dimwits in this thread who have Trump derangement syndrome.
 
Two dimwits who think like emotional women. Don't understand economics or geopolitics. Don't own a business. Probably don't know how your electricity is powered or how the food you eat makes it to your table. Listening to imbeciles like you someone who doesn't know any better would think there's no difference in policy between Trump and Kamala when the difference is huge. Especially in terms of border and energy policy which drastically lowers energy cost for American citizens which bleeds into cost of logistics and food. You clowns are coping hard like the rest of the celebrities from the epstein/Diddy lists and mentally ill liberals who think a man is a woman. Hold this L camera holders.
Look at the idiot using big words like “geopolitics” 😂

“Don’t own a business.”

Ok. Is it dick measuring time? You sure you want to go down that road? How do you know what I own? This is the last refuge of a rat scoundrel. You never even attempted to refute ANY of the facts that I presented previously.

“Trump Derangement”?

Wow man you’re far gone. I want the guy to do well. I acknowledge that half of this country (my fellow Americans) wanted him, and I’m ok with that. But stop lying and making shit up about both his and Biden’s tenure. Both were largely ineffective.

How dare you make a strawman. The point is the same people who said don't bring politics into sports first are now making a much larger political spectacle in a sport.
Not "we are dishonest actors that tried to force values on you that we had no intentions of abiding on ourselves when we got a chance"
 
I think it's awesome Trump is president elect and is a UFC fan and goes to events, yesterday resembled a Republican rally with some fights though.

What's actually sad is that you are an angry, malcontent person who acts belligerently in a forum to others and thinks, somehow, that it's a question of "us against them!" and that you won, and the others are salty idiots.

You actually think that way, as an adult. And it is truly pathetic.

It's a critical time. Neoliberalsim must be crushed forever. It's a disease.

We that's not true at all. Trump showing up at a UFC event is in no way a larger political spectacle than all the BLM shit was. That went on for like a year.

You're just a spoiled baby and you can't handle it when ONE thing goes the other way.

Well get used to it, bitch. You lost the culture war.

You might want or need a tribunal to express your thoughts about the dire importance of crushing neoliberalism, and how electing Trump is conducive to that noble end.

This is not what is in question, it is whether the UFC ought to use its platform to avow a political position and produce propaganda, when some of their workers, fighters, and fans do not share those views.

I think not.

Stop trying to act like you're above it all when you're picking and choosing weak posts to argue with and running and hiding from the strong ones.

You think in terms adequate to a manchild, not a rational adult.

"You lost the culture war!" - even to interpret a situation in those terms evinces the buffoonery of treating political and social issues as if they were sports competitions, us against them.

You like to make lots of assumptions about those who disagree with you, concerning their intellect, degree of education, understanding of policy, experience as entrepreneurs, and even autobiographical facts. Not to mention that for someone who likes to talk as the tribunal of practical reason you sure say pretty vulgar and moronic things like "dimwits who think like emotional women."

You depart from the premise that nobody who is intelligent, educated, who understands policy or business, or the difference in the proposals between Trump or Harris, could reasonably disagree with you. That way, you do not even entertain the possibility of being wrong, finding any common ground, or extending intellectual charity to your interlocutors.

That degree of exorbitant petulance and arrogance is sickly, stubborn, dogmatically close-minded, and you need to get it in check before you try to engage others in discussion.
 
Politics and sports have never been a thing.
giphy.webp

ok, sure

Again, you are a dishonest cultist. Nobody is calling out Trump being at the events, stupid. The call-out was for actually making him a large part of the events and programming all night. Plus all the glazing from lackies like you. It becomes legit propaganda.

Why would your mother or wife have to get used to it? Those are the only 2 dogs I know that go by that name.

What "war?" lol. Go to work (if you even have a job) & say whatever you want to about about different groups of people. Let me know how winning is working for you there. Lmao

Go in public and call other grown men bitches or whatever non PC words you lust over. Show us how you're winning there. Lmao

stfu edgelord lol. You're not kidding anyone. You're still living in & abiding by PC culture.
 
Yeah, a lot of liberals like yourself are embarrassed by the label, and I did understand. I disagree with your stance. The president elect is different than a celebrity.

You need to grow up and understand that the American bipartisan division between libs and conservatives does not reflect the only possible political positions.
 
And you are being disingenuous by pretending it was a political ad when it was simply making a big deal about a big figure coming to the fights. It certainly isn’t like the blm nonsense from the other sports.

Just because it made your child like fellow liberal weep doesn’t make it bad. It means your friend needs to grow up.

You are being intellectually dishonest.



Here is the clip for anyone who wants to see this.

This is a straight up advertisement-propaganda. If you don't see that, you are lying to yourself.
