2022 may not have been a great year for Joe Rogan. And although things might be a lot better now, the first few months of the year were probably really bad for Rogan.

Drowning in a quicksand full of public backlash and demands for platforms to boycott him, the UFC commentator seems to have made it out somehow. 

His first controversy at the start of 2022 came in the form of a video that surfaced on the internet. It was a compilation of all the times that Rogan stated a term of high controversy and contention. This created major backlash and public controversy for Rogan and his show as well. This prompted a slew of problems for the 54-year-old on the internet. 

Of course, with every controversy, there are likely to be supporters of the issue as well. One of Joe Rogan’s most significant supporters was someone very unlikely. The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, came to the podcaster’s rescue on the issue. Now, almost two months later, Rogan calls DeSantis the best Governor. 

“Joe Rogan just said, “Florida has the best governor in the game!” I agree 100%!” Tweeted user @PamelaHensley, a California Conservative, in pure excitement. This was after the UFC commentator called DeSantis the best governor in the game during UFC 273.

Joe Rogan has had a history with his views on politics. Given how exposed his show and platform are, it can be tricky for him to take part in. However, he has stated that he wants to stay away from politics and having politicians on his show. He’d rather watch and observe rather than have an active opinion. 

Will Joe Rogan be walking on eggshells from here on out? 

After such a year, chances are Rogan’s taking a different approach to the business and his career. It is important to note that Rogan is a creative and proud individual who does not want to slack off on saying what he wants to. 

A stern believer of free speech, he’s stated that he would quit podcasting if backlash like this continued. Joe Rogan is someone who does not shy away from saying what he wants to.
