The Country Needs More Dana Whites

The cancel culture movement is motivated by successfully ruining lives. Since we haven't hit full-on mob rule in the courts yet, the woke losers are empowered by gutless decision-makers bowing to them in hopes their bosses won't fire them. I've said for years, there's one way to stop this movement: leaders of major companies must ignore the perpetually outraged and move on as if they don't matter.

Dana White, the president of the UFC, is one such leader who has not bowed to the mob. By the looks of it, he'll be one of the last few standing.

Joe Rogan, who is under contract with the UFC, pulled back the curtain on working for White. Anthony Cumia asked Rogan whether White and the UFC are ever bothered by Rogan's comments that the media label "racist," "sexist," and "dangerous."

The answer was "no," but it was also more than that.

"Never," Rogan says. "Fucking never. Dana White doesn't give a fuck. He gives 18 levels of fuck less than I do. He doesn't give a fuck. That guy is worth a half a billion dollars, he doesn't give a fuck. He's wearing fucking sneakers and t-shirts. You look at him, you'd never know he's rich as shit."

That's what you call a leader.

Dana White doesn't care if his employees are on the left, on the right, or like LeBron, don't understand politics. He just wants his employees to entertain and make the product better.

Imagine that. That person does exist.

I told The Federalist two weeks ago that the declining interest in sports and entertainment can be summed up quickly: leagues ignore their consumers and try to appeal totheir critics. Dana White is the opposite. This was evident last year when the sports world opted out of play and White kept the UFC running.

We, as a country, need more Dana Whites.
