The suit says the fight is “private” and “for-profit,” and it alleges that even though the UFC claims it is “eating” the cost of the event and isn’t selling tickets, “the event will likely be profitable for the UFC and its partners.”

You think so? Do you think having the president endorse your company and stage an event on the whitehouse lawn could possibly financially benefit the UFC??

Only way Idiocracy could be more accurate is if they picked a white man instead of terry crews as president.

Yes, the filing itself that CBS are reporting on. I mean I understand not trusting a source but mainstream news reporting on a matter of public record....?

CBS news is a far right propaganda outlet now, so it's about not giving them traffic. There are plenty of reputable sources reporting on this story, there's no reason to link to them.

Because they brought in Bari Weiss to clamp down on truthful reporting or because they fired Stephen Colbert for speaking truth to power or because they fired Scott Pelley of 60 minutes for telling the truth?

This whole ufc fight at the Whitehouse is as American as it gets. Like it's a perfect representation of American culture. The only thing that could be added to the scene to make it more cringe is tax paying netflix watching rebel protestors at the fences.

Everyone bites the hand feeding them instead of cooking for themselves. Shit detach and cut the hand off already.

No, it's a caricature of America the through the lens of a potentially demented and definitely criminal narcissist.
