Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
The issue here is that there are a large majority of Dana's fan base that can't grasp SOPA/PIPA at all.
In mainstream sports, generally, those commisioners stay out of stuff like that. However, UFC is in the unique position there they have to constantly track down people thatg are ileegally streming their pay per views after they occur or real time.
I love watching MMA from Japan as the difference between those fans and the UFC fans who attend are night and day.

The thing is, I dunno that UFC fans are any douchier than fans of any other teams/sports.
Just something about those shirts make it seem that way.

I always thought that UFC was stealing the redneck wrestling demographic?

Nah. It's the most bro'd out audience ever. Wrestling is for children.
The problem here is that Dana believes responding to SOPA = Nerd.
Responding to potential information loss on his website = Nerd.
Cheering him on = OH YEA THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT BRO.
He's clearly out of touch with his audience and doesn't know the reach his sport has among different demographics. MMA is easier to follow and understand (and appreciate) for, ahem, nerds, than something like Football.

No, it seems that the redneck wrestling audience was turning off by actual grappling.

Well it is even more homoerotic than 'pro' wrestling so I suppose that could've weirded some people out.
I would like to see UFC's website hacked again if this is how Dana White reacts.

I've been to many UFC events. I have to work with them on a annual basis. I've met Dana several times, and pretty much every major fighter.
Dana White knows his audience. They're eating this shit up.

Yeah, jiujitsu is pretty homoerotic. But, I mean you get over that. I wish people would wash their balls though.

I am curious about this. I have an event to work this weekend at the UFC in Chicago. I wonder what it will be like. We're photogrpahing stuff, so, I'm guessing I won't have to worry about anything except having access restricted.

The people at the events are generally there to have a good time. I've never had any issues working them. But they are the most bro bros who ever bro'd.
As a general rule. Of course, blanket statements, yaddda yadda whatever. Pretty fun to attend, not really my thing personally, but the organizers are pretty cool to work with across the board. You'll have a good time.
Protip: Do whatever it takes to get into the after party.

I know it looks like I may have a problem but I'm really only looking at this today. I'm not on twitter much.
10 hours ago Uncle Dana said he was going to bed. 7 hours ago he was apparently in bed, but still tweeting. 6 hours, goes silent. 1 hour ago, first tweet "danawhite Dana White
@fjbar75 the Internet is the coward capital of the world."
No really, I think he has an actual problem and should consider taking a break from twitter. As a concerned fan.

I don't know which Dana White you've been watching, but he has been a hypocrite and a complete asshole since he got "famous".

Regarding comments like these, I've been inside MMA GAF's bubble too long. Seeing non-MMA GAF discover Uncle Dana is hilarious.

Well, fuck, just found out my gig got cancelled.
We were hired by Dodge. Some BS about not being able to get cars into the United Center?

I follow MMA pretty closely, actually, as a sport. I avoid the GAF thread (and most GAF sports threads) because people are either too "right" or downright disrespectful. It's kind of irritating to be honest
Just because I don't follow GAF threads or follow / interact with these people on Facebook/Twitter doesn't mean I (or anyone else) am "non-MMA GAF". Don't be Dana White and make baseless assumptions about people based on a single sentence of less than 160 characters Stop it. You're being that boxing fan right now.
Dana White is a fucking douche and one of the reasons i don't support UFC financially.

I used your post as an archetypal base. Nothing more, no offence intended.

MMA thread is cool man, we're good people. It's like the anti-NFL/NBA thread.

I can't work up the nerve to post in either of those two threads. Just isn't worth it. "Who the fuck are you" always appears. Hate that shit.
You watch Bad MMA™ because the fans are classier?

I mean, I do agree with the UFC that they have to protect their live events being ripped and distributed online.
But, they clearly don't care about the other stuff that SOPA would have done.

The whole costing us millions act is seriously getting old though. Then he throws in the "costing us American jobs" line which is classic. Out of all the things that are illegally reproduced, from books, movies, games, etc - PPV streaming is probably the absolute lowest level of missed revenue there is. So much so, I bet it cost him more money to write that letter than the actual cost of piracy to the UFC.

No, the American jobs thing is such a hilarious afterthought.
"I need ALL my money. Oh, and it saves American jobs."
I think though in their particular business, especially as a private one. I bet their PPV gate is the biggest number they get to through around to force sponsors to pay fees, etc.
They are messing with the steak of the meal, not the peas or the Texas toast.
Its very homoerotic when a guy gets his arm broken grappling.
The NBA thread is great. Everyone gets the "who the fuck are you," line. We used to be able to post tits in there before someone complained about it.
