UFC champion says he has been banned from White House fight over criticisms of Trump
7 days ago by sanitation to c/politics
The crypto was just a "bonus". They still got paid 50-75k from the UFC
For context, bonuses are often a huge amount of a UFC fighter's payout, and can readily be more than the the base pay.
Haha this is hilarious.
Good for him, honestly.
EDIT: For the record, I don't know the guy. I don't watch UFC. I was just saying this because it would be a badge of honor for literally ANYBODY to be banned from the white house for criticizing Trmp.
But now I know he's a major racist douchenozzle. So thanks for letting me know.
I DIDN'T KNOW! I DON'T WATCH UFC FFS!
Not gunna lie, taking the time to look up the people who downvote you and then pinging them is a bit much. It's not a great way to get people to agree with you. You could have just included more context in your original comment.
You say that, as if unaware the Israel is manipulating you, telling you whom to reject, while you continue to support all of their tools.
You are the problem here. Taking character assassinations at face value, excusing corruption and violations of our laws and culture because the worst people in the world hired people to tell you their critics are the problem.
Also fuck your anti salmon phrasing. Use anti jewish, unless you are dishonest.
It's because people here hate trump, and they side with Strickland because he also hates trump, and they never watch the ufc so they have no idea who Strickland is. Anything that would hurt their feeling and show them that they are supporting a racist will be downvoted.
I don't follow UFC.
I just said that because it would be a badge of honor for anyone.
Also, you need to chill.
Step away, from, the laptop.
You could just say what you mean, and not be a little shit
It's not ok to discriminate against someone for criticizing political leaders because that person isn't a saint in your eyes. Israel does this shit with every single famous person that criticizes them, and sheep go right along, even as they support aipac candidates that are every bit as bad and worse.
I guess it makes people that support character assassinations orchestrated by Israel, Tools.
You know how most people (in non-English speaking Europe) are severely underinformed wrt how bad things are in the USA?
I just realized that UFC on the White House lawn is one of the few things that will get global mainstream media attention. And once again people will say "quaint, but hardly fascist".
How bad is it? Asking because I got family on the southern east coast that I haven’t visited in ages. And the current political climate isn’t helping.
Ask them? I'm not from the US either. But I'm severely overinformed because of reddit-style fediverse with a huge percentage of American and generally English-speaking people.
FWIW, I don't think the gen pop has turned fascist in large numbers - yet.
