quote:

The Black Lives Matter is a complete sham. It’s a joke,” Covington told reporters. “They’re taking these people that are complete terrorists. They’re taking these people that that are criminals. These aren’t people that are hardworking Americans, blue-collar Americans. These are bad people. They’re criminals. “They shouldn’t be attacking police. If you’re breaking the law and you’re threatening the cops with weapons, you deserve to get what you get. Law enforcement protects us all. If we don’t have law enforcement, it’d be the wild wild west.”


We already know this wouldn’t fly in the nba or nfl. What will be the repercussion. I know Dana white isn’t gonna do shite but will the media relentlessly attack this guy?

Give us a link or something. WHo said that? When? Was he asked a question or did he just spit that out in an interview?

You mention Dana WHite so I assume he's UFC but please put some context or link in your post if you expect a good discussion about it.

I love that someone actually came out and stated the obvious facts that are being f'n ignored by everyone else on the side of that 'movement'.

It is an interesting situation.

Dana's also in bed with ESPN. I wonder if Dana has ever been approached by them about getting Colby to tone it down, or if they love it, knowing that a "villain" sells fights.

Also, Trump calling Colby LIVE ON THE AIR after a win has to be ratings gold.

If this is a gimmick, it's a good one.

Why is this even controversial at this point? There have been quite a few shootings and murders in the name of blm, including police officers and children. They've caused the most damage of any non-natural disaster in American history.

Americans are more puckered about what Covington thinks than about American left-wing terror? fricking priorities.

He is also one of the baddest dudes that walks the planet. Someone might shoot him, but there's nothing physically they can do to him other than that.


OH, and he's right.

Take Covington‘s (and others like Adam Carolla) lead. If you don’t apologize for speaking truths and give no fricks, then you’re less likely to be a target (or an effective one, at least).

Colby Covington was at Trump's Nevada rally with Dana White.

He is speaking the absolute truth and we all know it.

Drew Brees should have learned that lesson. Remember the Mizzo kid with his tweets about Floyd? The football team said they weren’t playing unless he was kicked out of school. He doubled down with more shite and is still there and guess what, pretty sure the team is playing this year, bunch of pussies.....
