CBS Columnist Praises Dana As a "Mother Theresa"

This is one of the best complimentary pieces I have read.

Once again UFC head Dana White demonstrates something that has been known for some time, yet most people are afraid to say: White is an awful human being that lacks basic human decency.

 

This week we saw yet another example of this as White belched some of the most hateful and misogynistic statements we've ever heard a public sports figure make.

Fagan, you're going to love how he got this story:

In a story first reported by UFC writer Maggie Hendricks, White, on a video blog, describes another woman reporter -- who wrote a story critical of White -- as a "f------ dumb bitch." Also in this video rant, White goes to describe the reporter's source as a "f------ faggot."

 

I didn't know Ms Hendricks writes for UFC. Did you? And, he also admires MMA fans as well.

Dana White is garbage, his sport is garbage and anyone who watches it is a garbage collector.

I would not mind being a garbage collector they make a good living. And, it gets better.

It seems UFC fans support whatever White does, no matter how ill conceived or arrogant or manipulative or ugly. He's got an army of sheep following him.

 

Baaaaaa.

 

White says (expletive) jump and fans say, "How (expletive) high, Mr. White?"

 

Fans ask "can I get you some coffee, Mr. White? A drink perhaps? A little sucking of the toes, Mr. White?"

 

The interesting thing is White and his supporters all believe they're tough guys. White wears a tight T-shirt, sports a bad haircut and screams about women and thinks he's a Navy S.E.A.L. He's not alone with the tough guy act. When I wrote about the MMA some time ago, a handful of the sport's fans got hold of my home phone number, called me at home, screamed into the phone that my MMA column was terrible, and then hung up. Very gutsy, people, very gutsy.

 

In actuality, White, the UFC and many of its fans are thin-skinned babies who can't take an ounce of the criticism they dish out.

 

You'll see the message board below light up with anonymous threats and various anonymous insults. That's what happened last time. Some of those postings, I believe, were from anonymous UFC officials and others associated with the sport.

 

No act of attempted intimidation will change the fact that White's comments are so far out of bounds, so extremist, that there should be significant repercussions for him.

 

But that would take guts and White really doesn't have any. Nor is there anyone around him to make him pay. White is an empire of one.

 

Another day, another White f-bomb tirade, this time with women bashing tossed in to boot.

 

And you know what UFC fans will do?

 

They'll applaud and keep watching.

I don't think it would be a stretch to say, another Vlog is forthcoming.

Mike Freeman has been anti-MMA since he had a byline and discovered it. This is just the latest iteration of his garbage.

I doubt Dana will be fucking with CBS

and Dana’s tirade played right into his hands.

Yep, when you give ammunition to your enemies you shouldn’t be surprised when they shoot you with it. Freeman is a jerk with a chip on his shoulder and this played right into his hands.

Does Dana's shiny dome

really count as a “bad haircut”?

by Scott Haber on Apr 3, 2009 12:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

excellent point

as a balding man myself, I recognize that Dana is making the best possible choice.

Me too. You get to a point where the inevitability of your hairline marching backwards becomes akin to watching a forest fire rage closer and closer to your house. You may like the trees behind your house, but at some point, you just have to cut them all down.

George Carlin once said, “Why do white guys want to shave their head? They look like freshly circumcised dicks!”
Don’t agree with him, but I still laughed.

I always thought we looked like giant toes, especially from the back. That’s why I only shaved it right down to the skin once; usually I just trim really short (to give the appearance of hair – it says, “Yeah, I could grow hair, but I just don’t want to, so there”).

Huh

Characterizing a whole audience (regularly upwards of one million individuals) as garbage collectors and faux intimidators. Small wonder that his writing style is so abrasive and contrived in its defensiveness; making multiple concessions for the comments in reply to his article before he ever clicks “upload”. MMA fans are cowards? Pot:Kettle.

“White’s comments are so far out of bounds, so extremist, that there should be significant repercussions for him.”

someone is a little sensitive arent they??
what does he want?? White to go to jail for some words??

This guy is a moron and a tool. It is surprising that he actually has a job. CBS is dumb for associating with him. Pretty funny from a company who tried (through their association with Elite XC) to hype Kimbo as the next big deal in MMA.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

but doesn’t this guy write for CBS. The same company that supports the sport he referred to as garbage. Hmmm…

Don’t try to make sense of it. The sucking lack of logic in his article will meet your incoming logic and annihilate the universe in a flash of antilogic energy.
