Veterans pushing USMC to drop sponsorship w/UFC

[Bonjourjr]

Just got wind of this today and am thinking...WTF. It just blows my mind. I am a veteran and love watching UFC/MMA. I am in no way offended by the relationship between the UFC and the USMC. Albeit I'm Army not USMC. I don't know if it's old news on here or not. The date of the article is mid July, but this is the first I am hearing about it. What do you guys think? I am particularly interested what Marine members on here have to say about this BS?

I think the anti gun pressure/stance comes from their business relationship with Fox. It's sad that they didn't sack up to protect their fighters who were sponsored by companies in the firearms industry though.

I just remember Dana White saying he wouldn't let the USMC renew the sponsorship contract when it's up due to Chinese people having to watch the Marine Corps recruiting videos they play.

Fuck Dana White and the UFC.
