Dana White had a brief cameo as a homeless
character in a short comedy skit for Fox NFL Sunday that caused some
outrage from UFC fans over the stereotypes portrayed. Dana's response?
'Pussies in this country cry about everything!'

During the Fox NFL Sunday program, a comedy sketch was aired
featuring comic Rob Riggles playing the part of an eccentric celebrity
sports tipster, revelling in the excess of his success.

The whole premise is daft with Riggles in a fur coat running his
'platinum' tips agency, orchestrating his high priced scheme in order to
supplement the lifestyle he's leading. Celebrity personal trainer
Richard Simmons makes an appearance in matching fur coat as part of the
sketch, and a little later UFC president Dana White makes his own cameo.

From the 1:45 mark of the video embedded below, Riggles continues the
hard sell of his premium platinum sports tip line, saying "I'll take
information from anyone, my nutritionist, my dog's stylist, the man that
lives outside my bank!"

Cue Dana White. In a makeshift cardboard dwelling, with a dirty
tanned face, blanket, garish trousers, and for some reason what look
like white socks and penny loafers, White delivers his line in his best
gravelly, impoverished voice:

"Cam Newton is pregnant, hahahahaha"

White appears for a matter of seconds and the skit itself seems to have passed without controversy.

But when the UFC posted the picture below on Facebook it seems to
have upset some people. In the photo White holds a cardboard sign that
says 'Please Help!! Need Food aka Booze'.



Fans that found the stereotype offensive took to Twitter and Facebook
to let Dana White know about it and that they didn't like the sketch.
Not one to shy away from response, White replied on his Twitter feed, calling people 'puss' and then went on an entire tirade about 'pussies in this country' making him sick.


Yet again, Dana White has
turned this into a bigger story than it had any right to be. Personally I
didn't find that segment to be offensive. Of poor taste, sure, but the
whole segment took place in a warped universe full of caricatures, and
since the sketch ran like a mock commercial advertisement, the character
White portrayed is that of a homeless man viewed through the skewed
perspective of Rob Riggles. Dana White agreed to take part and did so
for a few seconds; he didn't create the premise and he's not making a
mocking statement about how he feels about the homeless in the real
world.

Explained that way, the video
and White's part in it can be easily dismissed, but we're dealing with a
fight promoter here, and not a defender of satirical black comedy.

Instead, White's tirade of
'pussies' only highlights the ugly side of his personality. Assuming
White is using the colloquial definition 'pussy' and its derivatives to
mean someone exhibiting qualities and characteristics of cowardice, a
weak constitution and masculine inferiority (analogous with being
feminized), not only are you one if you didn't like the sketch -- which
doesn't actually make sense given the aforementioned definition -- but
you make White sick.

Didn't see the promo, watched the video. Nothing wrong with the video. But then Dana starts to fuck up on twitter.

dana looks like he's just shit himself in the top photo.

i lol'd at the skit and the tweets. I gotta side with baldy on this one. Fuck those twats.
