Dana White is a famous figure in the sports industry. In a recent interview, he called out the game of soccer.
“Soccer? Whole other ball game,” Dana White said. “Can’t stand soccer, I think that it’s the least talented sport on earth. There’s a reason three-year-olds can play soccer, OK? You run around and kick a ball. You wouldn’t say that if you were in Brazil, dude I’d say this in any country ever.”
“When you’re playing a game where the net is this big right, and the score is 3-1, are you s***ting me right now? Do you know how untalented you have to be to score three points when the net is this big?”
White‘s comments went viral on social media with big names such as Andy Murray calling him out. However, British rapper Santan Dave also reacted to his comments on social media.
