DONKEY: Dana White Speaks On Slapping Wife During Altercation

January tenth. U goes to UFC President Dana White. Now, this situation happened when we were off for holiday break, and I actually meant to get right to this yesterday, but I wasn't thinking about it, and I felt bad I wasn't thinking about it, because that's probably one of the reasons, you know, Jamie Fox and Dale hugely were criticizing the coverage of the fight that Dana White got into with his wife because it doesn't seem like people

are thinking about it. Yes, if you haven't heard of footage was released to Dana White getting into a physical altercation with his wife on New Year's Eve. Let's go to Fox Houston twenty six forty port. Please back to the factor on sensitive Vault New Year's Eve for UFC president Dana White. Here and his wife were spotted slapping each other. Now. The incident was called on camera in

a New Year's Eve nightclub in Cabo, Mexico. No word on what happened beforehand, but White has since apologized, saying there are new excuses for putting your hands on his wife. That's true. Okay, now listen, do I really have to sit here and have a conversation about why putting your hands on a woman is wrong? Well, I guess, y'all, I guess I do. Since folks are still out here doing it. You know, I don't care if it's your girlfriend,

wife's sister. Just know. Okay, I heard people saying, you know, she slapped Dana White first, so Dana slapped her back. I promise you, in the court of public opinion, that's a scenario you really can't win. I don't know if you can win that in a court of law, I really don't. Maybe a judge will look at it this self defension. Maybe a judge won't. I don't know. I just feel if a woman puts their hands on you, if you don't have women around you to handle that situation, run, Okay,

you can't win. What did Adrian tell a Rocky when he was gonna fight the Russian? You can't. Before there were reasons to fight, I could understand that. I don't understand this. Even if you win, what have you won? Apollo still gone? Why can't you change your thinking? Everybody else does because I'm a fighter. That's the way I made Adrian, that's what you married. We can't change what we are. You can't change anything, Adrian. All we can do is just go with what we are. You can't

go with what you are. Have you read the papers? Do you know what everybody says? It's suicide. You can't win. Jesus you know? Well, thank you Adrian for believing in me. Okay, By the way, we don't talk about that enough. The fact that Rocky beat the Russian in spite of Adrian not believing. Okay, So what she came to Russia with him to train that wasn't support. She was there because she thought Rocky was gonna get killed by the Russian. Two that's true. Go back to the matter at hand,

Dana White. Is there a double standard in the way the media covers domestic violence in regard to Dana White? We have seen how the media responded to Chris Brown different circumstances because another superstar, you know, was the victim. We've seen how they covered ray Rice, even though ray rice video footage was way more violent. But domestic violence is domestic violence, right. But I saw and heard some

people who were defending Dana White. Some folks were saying, he's the president of the the UFC, and when people think mm may they think violence. So his actions, you know, weren't surprising to some people. But football is violent. Boxing is violent. But I don't see football players in boxes, you know, getting defended in the media. Now, the legends Jamie Fox and Dale hugely, you know, ask them questions.

Dale hugely said, what can Brown do for you? Apparently not a damn thing if they if that had been a brother, they'd be NonStop coverage, dredging up a playground fight from the third grade, scouring old tweets, you name it. Dana White's entire life is immersed in brutal, physical violence. He's a master fortune from it. Where are the selasious headlines? Where's depression? Oh? He apologized? Hashtag white privilege scores a first round knockout yet again. Jamie Fox Co signed it

and said, effin preach. Now, Dana White did apologize, Let's listen to it. I'm in Cobb, Mexico, you know, for the holidays with my family, and my wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year's Eve. You know, Unfortunately that's what happened. You know, you've heard me say for years there's never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman. And now here I am on TMZ talking about it. But my wife and I have been married for almost thirty years. We've

known each other since we were twelve years old. We've obviously been through some shit together and we've got three kids, and you know, this is one of those situations that's, you know, horrible. I'm embarrassed. You don't put your hands on a woman. Ever. He's right, you know, put you hands on a woman. Ever. He's owning up to it. You know, he's apologizing. Like I said, I've heard boxes football players, you know, they've been in these same situations.

They apologize and they were still demonized. Here's the thing I agree with, deal Hugo, But this is what I would say. Mainstream media, whatever that means nowadays, is reporting on Dana White. Think this outrage that DL is looking for this NonStop coverage just you know, pulling up old tweets, you know, pulling up old fights from third grade. I don't care what y'all say. That comes from social media. Okay, that comes from Twitter a lot of the times. Okay.

The only reason the mainscream media has moved on from this is because it doesn't seem like a hot story because there's no reaction from social media. I keep telling y'all over and over. If you you know, if if you you know, want these mainstream outlets to react, then you have to make them react. You know, most of these mainscream outlets are reacting to what's happening on social media.

You can be watching one of these networks CNN, MSNBC, and when some foolish celebrity nonsense starts trending on social media, they will stop talking about actual issues, about actual issue going on in the world to report on the celebrity nonsense. Now, is there a double standing on how mainstream media covers of black people and white people? Of course it is, okay, always has been, but there is other screams and social

media really sadly is the screen that matters nowadays. So if you want people to cover Dana White, and you got to cause him up for on social media. But more importantly, what's the ask? You can't just make noise? Okay. I've told y'all this a million times. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. That's the word to Frederick Douglas. Okay, you can't just say, oh,

the media isn't covering Dana White, because they are. What you really want is Dana to have consequences for his actions. But who is going to impose those consequences? Okay? Who is going to push to have consequences? You know? Leveled against Dana White? Is Dana White being covered different because he's white, rich, powerful ords He being covered different because she hit him first and it could be considered self defenses. He being covered different because he apologized and he owned

up to it. I don't know, okay, but I do know he's gonna get the credit he deserves for being stupid. So please give Dana White the biggest he huh. Let m Mark give Dana White the biggest he ha he ha he ha. He's stupid, motherfu are you dumb. I haven't heard him yet this year, all right. I'm sure she'll be yess co hosting at some point, I hope. So, yes, all right, you know those are questions I do want to know, Like it, is Dana White being covered different

because he's white, rich and powerful? Is he being covered different because she hit him first? Nick could be considered self defense because I've heard people say that. Or is he being covered different because he apologized and he owned up to it? Which is it? All right, well, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one five one. Why do you feel that Dana White's coverage is a little different than some of the other things that we've seen before. Is it because his wife

hit him first? Is it because he's white? Is it because we haven't stressed it enough? As I said, you know, people forget Frederick Douglas said that the best power concedes nothing without a demand. So even when we say these things, like you know, mainscream media isn't covering it. You know, where's the outrage? I mean, they are covering it. What you're really asking is how come there isn't any consequences to his actions? That's what you're asking all right, we'll

get to that next. Taking your calls, eight hundred five y five one oh five one is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
