With everything going on in NFL, NBA, college football, Nascar etc ...it's good to see some straight shooting in MMA. These guys are aware of politics impacting their brand, but when put on spot many dgaf to speak independently. These athletes aren't pampered recruits from early high school years. Many spent their formative years fighting in backyards or lower fight circuits to work themselves up, and most are independent contractors working job to job, rather than getting huge gaurantees etc.
Dana White is unapologetically pro-Trump, anti-fake news. You got outspoken athletes like Colby Covington going on Candace Owens show, and top names like McGregor giving props to Trump. My new favorite is Masvidal who knows Cuban leftist ideaology first hand and isn't afraid calls out the left in this country.
BTW Masvidal just took a title fight (UFC 251) late notice for this weekend. He is a +250 dog and has to cut 20LBS, but I'll be rooting for him. The bigger the platform for an athlete like this, the better. You won't see much shyt talking his way from the LeBrons or Monds of the world....or even from the Jemelle Hills in media if he blows up and more Trump questions come his way into Nov.
