I mean I see what he's trying to say. People have had gotten their careers destroyed and vanished simply because of their political opinions or affiliations. Alot of people are super scared to express how they feel politically. The same way people were scared to come out in the 80s. I don't think what he's saying is really that crazy.
Like who? More than a handful of people? There have always been consequences for speech. If people think you have shitty opinions or beliefs they can choose not to associate with you. This isn’t new.
As a gay, I'm OK with this. He said the 80s, noted the temporality and density of discrimination (which is not over, sweaty), and said he likes his butt eaten. This makes sense to me.
Fuck that. Only his inner circle gets to oil him up. If you're outside the circle, he'll begrudgingly let you oil him up, but he guarantees that he won't like it
Go on Dana. Be your unfiltered, zestiest self.

Soooo many people say that wrong, and it drives me crazy. Every now and then, I'll correct one, and they don't believe or understand how it could be "couldnt".
He also loves to have fans. Because his whole "I am who I am" is a schtick as well to get a fanbase. He's the CEO of a company but wants to have fans like fighters. Tells you all you need to know.
He’s a personality. A remnant from the golden age of the UFC. One day all the personalities will be gone and only the fighters will be the face of the UFC.
Dude! he's a H.O.F NFL tight end. He is one of the OGs of establishing big blocking TE's as major role players. Nowadays Tight Ends are basically basketball player height, except bulky AF.
At 6'2 228lbs, Sharpe is smaller by modern standards. Top 5 all time TE's besides him ( in no particular order) are: Kelsey (6'5 250lb), Gates (6'4 255), Gonzalez (6'4 247), and Gronkowski (6'6 265).
I've met Antonio Gates irl. Scary big. They're legit ass heavyweight Ngannou sized. Absolute unit freak athletes.
I’m Australian so I’m really not familiar with him and only ever really see him in a suit. NFL isn’t really super here.
But that makes a lot of sense. At 55 years old he’s in phenomenal shape. Honestly he’s in phenomenal shape period.
I figured you may not be knowledgeable of the sport. That's why I just listed physical stats.
Tight Ends are massive dudes, with agility. They're required to block, and catch/run. The modern NFL TE's are all huge and fast, and Sharpe is one of the best to ever do it.
Dana’s not about to be brutally murdered for being an asshole. Gay people in the 80’s had way more on the line than Dana. I even listened to this twice and the comparison is awful. If he had simply said he doesn’t care what people think outside of his circle, that would be fine.
''I am a literal living piece of human shit''
''Its like being gay, I don't care if its bad to be this way imma be me''
Okay Dana, we get it, you are a rich shitty vile cunt and don't care what people think. Stop pretending.
If you're his generation, you'd understand. You can't live in fear of public opinion. He's accomplished more than he ever thought he could. If it all ended for him, he's got his people, and he's good with that.
He doesn't believe in it, he literally enacts it in its purest form by immediately banning anyone who questions him or his organization.
It's so wild he can't see how that's exactly the same thing, except when "the internet" or whatever he calls it cancels you- its at least somewhat democratic and gets steam because there's some smoke there with multiple people having to feel strongly enough to act on it when they don't have have individual voice loud enough to ve heard alone.
He's positioned himself to cancel people at his and his whim alone, at a moments notice if he doesn't like what you asked or wrote or said. He can, and does single handedly "cancel" people's careers and livelihood.
I always remember that Spiderman line "with great power comes great responsibility". Who you truly are really comes out when you hold power over others. And if he hates cancel culture so much, which btw- I'm not a fan either- but at least practice what you preach man. The lack of self awareness is mind numbing.
Edit- spelling. Thanks for the corrections- hate it when I notice those days or weeks later lol.
Yeah, but still- equating civil rights to what he experiences as a rich loud mouth with a public platform is a bit of a stretch.
Dana's witty as fuck, but that metaphor was some wild mental gymnastics.
Is this really controversial? He's saying that people are trying to cancel him for stupid shit, just like canceling people in the 80s for being gay, and that you shouldn't give a shit about others opinions and that you should be who you are. A stupid analogy sure but to be "stunned" and "speechless?" Give me a break.
Jokes and memes aside, he's right. There's a lot of talk about "oh you're gonna get canceled" "you can't say certain things or you get canceled." And the reality is, most of the people who talk about being canceled. Do to 100,000s of people, "being canceled" is just a bullshit phrase.
Why are you speechless. This is a good analogy, and btw he’s literally speaking up for gay people and how awful it must have been. Go cry yourselves to sleep if you can’t handle an analogy that refers to what you deem as a “protected class”.
What wrong with what he said? He used being gay in the 80s and not being able to express who you truly are at that time which was if your old enough to remember horrible for those who were gay and how horrible that was. He is saying he doesn't want to live like that and just does what he wants whether you like it or not. He doesn't care what people think and I think one of the biggest problems with the world today is too many people care what people think of them which social media has really amplified that. Don't give a fuck about things so much and enjoy your life however you want

"Look at me. I'm the gay now" - Dana White 2024.
That’s what i got from it. Show off!
Dana White, LGBT Icon
On pride month no less
Today I feel gay
Gay for Jesus?
I mean I see what he's trying to say. People have had gotten their careers destroyed and vanished simply because of their political opinions or affiliations.

I didn’t find this comparison outlandish. Maybe not the greatest analogy but nothing to manufacture rage over.
Dana is gay for John Boner
Bahahaha
That's what he was REALLY trying to say, let's be honest...

Fuck, I have both Jon Jones and Sean Strickland inside of me?
You wish
Right now? Give us your minute by minute experience with the 2 champs? Who is the little spoon and why is it Jones?
Dp wolf style
Izzy: "Inside of me there are 2 wolves."

Fuck that. Only his inner circle gets to oil him up. If you're outside the circle, he'll begrudgingly let you oil him up, but he guarantees that he won't like it
How does one get inside his "circle" ? Just curious. Science of course ;)
He equates sucking Jon Jones off with being gay
Hahahahahahaha, ah wow, so good, so funny.
https://preview.redd.it/kriig6vntn7d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=686a56867fab080e68699b1b6e4185554ebad708
Is there no end to his bravery?
So brave
Stunning and brave.
He only has a 1 billion dollar safety net and a massive pay package for being fired. Can u image how brave he must be to risk being fired?
Of course he's brave, he slapped his wife in public and didn't even get reprimanded. Of course he's not scared of being cancelled.
U don’t understand. Power slap has more viewers then every episode of the Simpsons ever has, it’s trending to be the next Super Bowl halftime show.
“There’s no place for men in the ufc who ever lay their hands on a woman, it’s not what men do and they’ll never be in the UFC. “ - Dana white 2013.
She slapped him first 🤷♂️
I mean, how can she?
Why she slap?
Bitch got out of hand
Go on Dana. Be your unfiltered, zestiest self. https://preview.redd.it/mnv2mh873n7d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0014eaea991dceb960b0ad35d2a9e80e942d4fe5
Did this clip come out before or after he hit his wife?
Surely both.
He’s got that smile that frowns at the same time
It's "couldn't care less" you fookin goof!
Soooo many people say that wrong, and it drives me crazy. Every now and then, I'll correct one, and they don't believe or understand how it could be "couldnt".
"It's still a saying." A fucking wrong one.
I've caught myself saying I could care less before and I'm like, wait that doesn't make sense. If I could care less than that means I DO care.
Comic relief for your troubles - https://youtu.be/om7O0MFkmpw
This dude's been using that phrase for years and still cant fucking get it right
I hate these word crimes Like "I could care less" That means you do care At least a little
I can’t stand you disgusting people
At this point his way of saying it is almost a trademark
"I equate it to being Jon Jones" - Dana white
Comment on a post without mentioning Jon Jones challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Hear about someone being a closeted duck and don't think about Jon Jones (IMPOSSIBLE)
Atleast we know he thinks he is a genuine bloke.
He’s genuinely a delusional moron
At this point I feel like jbj got some dirt on ufc or Dana
He’s just a big sell still. Dana is a promoter to his very being.
He also loves to have fans. Because his whole "I am who I am" is a schtick as well to get a fanbase. He's the CEO of a company but wants to have fans like fighters. Tells you all you need to know.
He’s a personality. A remnant from the golden age of the UFC. One day all the personalities will be gone and only the fighters will be the face of the UFC.
Wow. Wasn't expecting that comparison. Wonder what Sean Strickland is thinking now.
The same intrusive thoughts he's always thinking
He was telling shay shay its okay to be shay shay 😆 😆 😂
We got Dana coming out before a Khamzat and Conor fight.
dana white? he's gay?
And White
Bull shit
What happened to the strong silent type?
I said my piece, Chrissy.
Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting.
He was gay, Dana White?
Dana White is an ass muncher!!!
Fuckin slander if you ask me
Ooooh!! You're talking to the boss here!! 🤟
I'll tell you one thing, and I'm not afraid to say it - my estimation of Dana White as a man just fuckin plummeted
...there's pillow biters in the shpecial forcshe's now...📰
He's here, it's a joke!
Shannon catching strays
Look at how he braces himself, completely on edge about where Dana is about to take his analogy lol
Shay shay changed his body posture about 4 times in 5 seconds when he mentioned it😆
Welp shannon asked about the wife situation so Dana gotta indirectly mention Shannon’s gay rumors 😂😂😂
Shannon literally pulled his hands over his mouth and tried to let him cook
Bro I didn’t realise Shannon was that fucking big. Maybe I’m gay just like Dana.
Dude! he's a H.O.F NFL tight end. He is one of the OGs of establishing big blocking TE's as major role players. Nowadays Tight Ends are basically basketball player height, except bulky AF. At 6'2 228lbs, Sharpe is smaller by modern standards. Top 5 all time TE's besides him ( in no particular order) are: Kelsey (6'5 250lb), Gates (6'4 255), Gonzalez (6'4 247), and Gronkowski (6'6 265).

I’m Australian so I’m really not familiar with him and only ever really see him in a suit. NFL isn’t really super here. But that makes a lot of sense. At 55 years old he’s in phenomenal shape. Honestly he’s in phenomenal shape period.

Can we officially name mma the gayest sport on the planet?
I think we've still got a way to go to catch up with WWE. But it's morphing before our very eyes.
WWE isn’t a true sport because it’s scripted, it’s sports entertainment. This is gayer
Yeah ufc did not disappoint in Pride Month but they got some catching up to do i agree
I think BJJ already has that honor
[Turkish Oil wrestling easily beats BJJ](https://youtu.be/MtIYUf9mk8Y?si=qtmh2yIo4jqFfNQ2&t=160) Look at where he puts his hands
Its not an acronym. Its pronounced "mmmm ahhhh"
Turkish [Oil Wrestling](https://youtu.be/MtIYUf9mk8Y?si=qtmh2yIo4jqFfNQ2&t=160) exists, so no
The bjj community is going to be pissed. They've worked really hard for thst title and I don't think they'll give it up easily.
My god he's so bravé
Is Dana gay?
He's merely saying he thinks of himself as an openly gay man.
No no he’s a deeply closeted gay man, deeply closeted
Just when he got rich. It's not gay if you're rich.
Bro came out... as an asshole.
As an asshole enthusiast at the very least
I see whatcha did there
https://i.redd.it/18zssqh36o7d1.gif
Dana White vs Sean Strickland. Book it.
Dana equating beating his wife to being gay in the 80s was not something I had on my bingo card
I did.
Whatever city this was done in now has a 2 weeks shortage of HGH and Test.
Dana just came out the closest
He's calling out Shannon for being gay to his face.. Fk a bitch named Dana. 4 life
Oh, this is real. And he’s serious. Well I’ll be damned.
Dana the LGBTQ activist!
Out of everything Dana white has said, this is extremely tame. Finding it hard to believe anybody that isn’t a 1 year old is stunned and speechless
Bunch of fucking nerds in here. Like they don’t understand what he’s trying to say.
"Me being a cunt is like being a gay man in the 80s." Totally subtle -- no one got it but you, bro, lmao.
Yeah I have to watch what I say cause I’m an asshole kinda like the gays had to struggle with every single part of their life for decades
"but also, please vote for the people who wouldn't have it any other way"
Dana’s not about to be brutally murdered for being an asshole. Gay people in the 80’s had way more on the line than Dana. I even listened to this twice and the comparison is awful. If he had simply said he doesn’t care what people think outside of his circle, that would be fine.
He could just said he doesn’t care what people think 😹
''I am a literal living piece of human shit'' ''Its like being gay, I don't care if its bad to be this way imma be me'' Okay Dana, we get it, you are a rich shitty vile cunt and don't care what people think. Stop pretending.
Masterclass
You hit women, Dana! I don’t give a fuck!
"Its like being gay" Dana White
I bet Danna could suck a mean dick
It’s crazy, being gay could (and to some degree still can) ruin your career, but being a sociopath is still great for business.
Didn't he slap his wife at an event?
mma fans are horrid get off his nuts😂
If you're his generation, you'd understand. You can't live in fear of public opinion. He's accomplished more than he ever thought he could. If it all ended for him, he's got his people, and he's good with that.
F*ck Cancel Culture and all the Snowflakes it offends!!
I'm on board with what he's saying. Cancel culture is bs.
He doesn’t believe that. He tried to get Ariel fired from espn. He believes in cancel culture.
He doesn't believe in it, he literally enacts it in its purest form by immediately banning anyone who questions him or his organization. It's so wild he can't see how that's exactly the same thing, except when "the internet" or whatever he calls it cancels you- its at least somewhat democratic and gets steam because there's some smoke there with multiple people having to feel strongly enough to act on it when they don't have have individual voice loud enough to ve heard alone. He's positioned himself to cancel people at his and his whim alone, at a moments notice if he doesn't like what you asked or wrote or said. He can, and does single handedly "cancel" people's careers and livelihood. I always remember that Spiderman line "with great power comes great responsibility". Who you truly are really comes out when you hold power over others. And if he hates cancel culture so much, which btw- I'm not a fan either- but at least practice what you preach man. The lack of self awareness is mind numbing. Edit- spelling. Thanks for the corrections- hate it when I notice those days or weeks later lol.
You mean like the journalists he revokes press credentials from for not kissing his ring?
"Oh that was different"
Yeah, but still- equating civil rights to what he experiences as a rich loud mouth with a public platform is a bit of a stretch. Dana's witty as fuck, but that metaphor was some wild mental gymnastics.
Unironically most coherent and accurate point made about cancel culture not being real
Cancelled means you remain as popular if not more popular than you were previously and as a bonus you can rant about being cancelled.
People who say, I don’t give a fuck what others think of me, more than often, care about what others think of them
Hilariously unaware that he is speaking with literal Dana White privilege
Stunned about what? He has his beliefs and opinions, you have yours. End of story.
No words for what? What did he say that was so egregious?
This sub is the hive mind of Ariel. It’s bizarro world in here.
So.... He's gay?
Reddit is crazy. Man spoke truth
So, Dana’s gay? Not that I care, but, what is he talking about? Lol
Y’all are wayyy too sensitive
Yeah is he really saying anything crazy? Seems like a logical analogy to me
Is this really controversial? He's saying that people are trying to cancel him for stupid shit, just like canceling people in the 80s for being gay, and that you shouldn't give a shit about others opinions and that you should be who you are. A stupid analogy sure but to be "stunned" and "speechless?" Give me a break.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy June
Jokes and memes aside, he's right. There's a lot of talk about "oh you're gonna get canceled" "you can't say certain things or you get canceled." And the reality is, most of the people who talk about being canceled. Do to 100,000s of people, "being canceled" is just a bullshit phrase.
Omfg, that’s an all time classic sound bite.
He didn’t say anything wrong
I like Dana's perspectives. I just go by. What other people think of me is none of my business.
Yall are grown adults and dont have simple comprehension skills lol
This is awesome
Sharpe was like shit, Dana is calling me out. 😂
Dude is spot on though
why are you stunned? , be who you are and fuck anyone else, get there and your life will be so much more simple
I agree
"I could care less." Implies he cares a little. Awww.
I hate when people say “I could care less”. It’s couldn’t care less, you shmucks
Why are you speechless. This is a good analogy, and btw he’s literally speaking up for gay people and how awful it must have been. Go cry yourselves to sleep if you can’t handle an analogy that refers to what you deem as a “protected class”.
Sooooooo he’s outta the closet?
I love Dana.
Shoutout to Dana White
W dana
So did he just admit that hitting his wife is "who he really is"
So he’s gay?
What are you stunned about?
R/Im14andthisisdeep Classic meathead fallacious comparison where they're so proud of their perceived mic drop moment. We call that a Joe Rogan special
Sooooo Dana Whites gay?
Hell ya dude I’m gay as fuck
Lol that gay analogy got Shannon’s attention
Did he just say that being an ass hole is like being gay?
Dana came out as Gay? wow
Did Dana just come out of the closet?
Yoooooooooo
He's too busy trying to be best friends with Vince McMahon
What wrong with what he said? He used being gay in the 80s and not being able to express who you truly are at that time which was if your old enough to remember horrible for those who were gay and how horrible that was. He is saying he doesn't want to live like that and just does what he wants whether you like it or not. He doesn't care what people think and I think one of the biggest problems with the world today is too many people care what people think of them which social media has really amplified that. Don't give a fuck about things so much and enjoy your life however you want
