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.”
