UFC's Dana White rips 'woke' professional sports: 'If you want to listen to that stuff', change the channel

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White told "Hannity" on Monday that he strives to keep his sport free of politics for the enjoyment of the fans and athletes alike.

"You look at the ratings of the finals in the NBA: 5.6 million viewers is a disaster... you look at what happened in Georgia with [MLB] when they had far more accessible voting laws than Joe Biden's state of Delaware," Hannity said. "If you look around the stadium, I don't care what the sport is, I see people of all backgrounds, all races, all coming together because they love and have to share a passion for that sport, right?" White replied that most people who are regular fans of professional sports aren't fans because of the politics: "They don't want to hear that. They don't want to hear what your opinions are or who you're voting for what you're doing, they want to get away from everything in their life and they want to focus on two, three, four hours however long the sport is when you turned it on."
