because the CEO of Peloton demanded that Theo delete his podcast with Robert Kennedy Jr.

Dana immediately pulled all Peloton bikes out of UFC gyms for this

back story...

Two sponsors balked at Kennedy’s appearance on the show,

“You need to take this episode down,” they demanded,

White mocked the unnamed sponsors, defending Kennedy as a brilliant man who dares to ask hard questions.

“He’s a Democrat with common sense,” said White, whose prefers former President Donald Trump in next year’s election. “This is America. You can have whoever you f***ing want on your podcast.”

Later in the show, Von announced that one of the sponsors that demanded he remove the Kennedy episode was Peloton.

“Peloton sells stationary bikes, and they have a problem with Robert F***ing Kennedy,” White said.

Von and White proceeded to roast the company and its CEO, Barry McCarthy, for several minutes.

“You have to fight back. You’re gonna let that f***ing guy tell you what to do?” White asked Von.

Sounds good to me. They can demand he take down the podcast and they can suffer the consequences.

I wonder what the guy who bought his wife one for Christmas thinks about this.

It's just amazing to me how shortsighted these companies are when it comes to politics.

Like you'd think these larger companies would do enough market research to know that they'd be better off not taking a public stance on either side of the aisle considering people from all walks of life buy their product. But I guess not.

At one point in the video, it looked like Dana was calculating the amount of money it would cost him and he was like yeah fricking take them things and throw them in the trash. I got that shite

It was hilarious, Theo puts on the persona of being a dumb guy from Louisiana but he’s dialed in on what’s going on.

Good to hear

Peloton is VERY supportive of intersectional BS, identity politics, and BLM grifting with Ibram X. Kendi.

They deserve to fail.

They were still promoting ‘anti-racism’ with Kendi this year.

Don’t give your money to people that hate you!

Expensive exercise company promises to be antiracist

Fancy exercise bike company Peloton hosted a panel discussion on “antiracism” and mental health in partnership with Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, a policy and education center founded and directed by author and Professor Ibram Kendi.

The luxury brand, whose signature bikes retail starting at $1,445, presented the event on Feb. 15 as part of its partnership with the center, according to a recent news release.

That partnership, in turn, was born out of the company’s “Peloton Pledge” in June 2020 to “combat systemic inequity and promote global health and wellbeing” by becoming an “antiracist company.”

Tunde Oyeneyin, an author and popular Peloton instructor, moderated the panel, consisting of Kendi as well as Boston University health sciences Professor Monica Wang and BU Law School Professor Jasmin Rose.

Most importantly, will this impact the frequency of Kendall Facebook reels?

Good for them. I can’t understand the woke company CEO’s which harms their bottom line. If it’s a public company, stockholders need to vote them out.

I turn off the television when I see their gay freak show of fat black lesbians and homos pedaling on a stationary bike in their apartments.

That's all cool and all.

But didn't Dana White and UFC recently do some big deal with Bud Light?

I’ve always wanted to short Peleton stock but kinda forgot about it. They don’t have the marketing to come back from Covid buying tendencies

The only issue with any of this is calling Kennedy brilliant. Dude is just a little less communist than the others.
