UFC President Dana White is different.<\/p>\n<p><span>While the NBA openly embraces \u201cBlack Lives Matter,\u201d and Major League Baseball kowtows to the woke mob, outraged over Georgia\u2019s election laws, <\/span>White wants fans of the UFC to come to his events knowing that they don\u2019t have to worry about political messaging. He wants his sport to be true to its original intention \u2014 standing as a place for fans to get away from it all and simply enjoy the spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you watch sports, you\u2019re tuning in to get away from all the crap that\u2019s going on in your life,\u201d White told Candace Owens in an exclusive interview airing Friday night on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/candace\"><em>Candace<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWhether it\u2019s personal, professional, political, whatever\u2019s going on in the world. That\u2019s your time where you tune in. Never once did we talk about COVID, we didn\u2019t talk politics, we didn\u2019t talk about anything negative that was going on. When you come in and you watch two or three hours of our fights, you\u2019re tuning in for fights. You\u2019re coming in to watch a sport. You want to hear all that crap, watch any other channel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Have your own opinions? That\u2019s fine as well. The UFC wants no part of telling its athletes what they should and should not believe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s like we live in this world right now where nobody\u2019s allowed to have their own opinion,\u201d White added. <\/span><span>\u201cThese are all grown men and women that fight for us. They all have their own beliefs, their own politics or whatever it is. They can say whatever they want to say, to a point. I mean, there\u2019s some times that some things cross the line, but at the end of the day, too, this is the fight business. Guess what? They say really mean things to each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White understands that not everyone holds the same political views and not everyone is going to agree. It\u2019s an approach that White and the UFC have carefully curated for years, and in a world where anything you say can get you cancelled, it\u2019s quite refreshing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s what we do, whether all this craziness is going on or not, that\u2019s how we run our show,\u201d White told The Daily Wire when asked how the UFC has managed to stay out of politics. \u201cThe other thing is, we don\u2019t put a muzzle on anyone. We don\u2019t tell people what they can and cannot talk about. Imagine working for a company and they\u2019re telling you to believe this.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnd the other thing we don\u2019t do, we don\u2019t tell you who to vote for. We don\u2019t tell you what to believe in, we don\u2019t tell you what religion, we don\u2019t tell you any of that s**t. You\u2019re all grown men and women with your own ideas, your own beliefs, and good for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As large corporations and \u201cBig Tech\u201d companies continue to regulate their employees\u2019 way of thinking, White and the UFC have gone the opposite way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s America. That\u2019s the way it\u2019s supposed to be. And you shouldn\u2019t have to go to work and listen to that s**t,\u201d White told The Daily Wire. \u201cWhat I believe should not be rained on you because I run this company. And it\u2019s not like that at all. We don\u2019t tell anybody what to do, who to vote for. We don\u2019t even throw out suggestions or anything else. Any of that stuff. We try and keep all of that stuff away from our people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
