 Dana has the best job in teh world !

Sad apologizing to a special interest group over using a word once out of context.

Lost what little respect I had for him.

"I have no problem with the gay or lesbian community. I'm actually a supporter of lesbians" It's ok Dana, I'll say it for you :o)

 Managers are as long as their fighter gives them one of the credentials they are issued.

BrooklynZoo -  "Look, I love the fucking homos", White said tearfully, "If I didn't love gays, why would Lorenzo and I have such a massive collection of lesbian porn at our offices." "I'm on fucking Redtube every day, jacking off to that fucking moron, Tito Ortiz's wife's old work."

"People need to understand that if I wasn't straight, I'd be gay."  White continued,  "Some of these fuckers just don't get that shit.  I have a light grey Armani suit that I wear with a pink tie all the fucking time...and I get shit for it from Frank and Lorenzo..So I know what these fuckers feel like when they're being persecuted."

As White was leaving, he told the group of reporters with a remoresful look, "So to all the fucking fag....er...em...asshole bloggers out there, you need to chill out with the fucking blog posts."


VTFU!!!!

+2, lmao.

 there is a gay in the interwebz box who didnt accept his apology!! call dana!!



if you dont understand why a guy laughs a little when he has to apologize for saying the word faggot then nothing explained in any way is worth saying in your direction. sadly you people have been convinced that if a straight person uses a derogitory gay remark that they have a problem with what you people do in private. if you feel weird when a guy hits on you cuz your a lez imagine how another guy feels when a dude hits on him. it is part of the reason guys describe negative things as 'gay'... there i go explaining...



question... is it ok for a closet gay who noone knows is gay to say faggot  or is it wrong for any gay  to say fag?



if dana has had a sexual encounter with a man at some point in his life and liked it can he now use the word faggot without reproach or do you have to totaly not enjoy the opposite sex from a certain point in time in order to get to say it?



this could help in the courtroom when the hatecrime charges hit the fan.

I saw less than a minute of the vid but Dana did a great job explaining himself. Simply put, Dana explains he doesn't want to be perceived as cool for using words like faggot. He did use the word out of context but did so to degrade someone plus DURING A VLOG.

Dana's personality will be impersonated because of his position. Thus, vlogging, which reaches a huge population, shouldn't include such language. Dana's swearing, while a bit too much, is his schtick. That's partly what he's known for.

As far as his smile goes, who cares-I smile at inappropriate times also.

What state is the "gay community" in?

BLAF saying 'faggot' wasnt him really being disrespectful. Everybody knows what he meant, he just has to play PC thats all. LOLOL he should have said he meant 'faygot' not 'faggot' hahahaha.

Dana White, the Ultimate Fighting Championship president whose comments referring to homosexuals, women and the people with mental disabilities set off a firestorm of blog activity Thursday, is apologizing for his anti-gay comments.


He is not, however, apologizing to the reporter who wrote a story that set him out on a three-plus minute tirade on his UFC video blog posted on YouTube.


 



[+] EnlargeDana White
Martin McNeil/WireImage.comWhite, shown in a file photo, says 'I hurt people that I didn't intend to hurt.'



"I hurt people that I didn't intend to hurt and when you do something like that, yes, I believe that you should say you're sorry," White told ESPN.com Page 2 columnist Mary Buckheit in a telephone interview. "I never intended to hurt anybody in the gay community, or be malicious, or look like a hateful guy. I never meant to hurt anyone in the gay or lesbian community at all, in any way, shape or form. I would never do that. I was speaking to [Sherdog.com reporter] Loretta Hunt. I didn't mean to bring those people into this, it had nothing to do with them and for that, I'm sorry."


 


White used an anti-gay slur in the video blog. He also called Hunt, who writes for Sherdog.com (a partner of ESPN.com which covers mixed martial arts), a "[expletive] bitch" and called her story on backstage credentialing issues "absolutely [expletive] retarded."


 


The story drew intense interest in mixed martial arts blogs, and the video clip was removed from YouTube. White declined most interview requests, but did tell a spokesman for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) that he would apologize. He spoke with ESPN.com's Buckheit late Thursday night.


 


"I'm not defending myself to people who don't know me and are all of a sudden all over me," White said in the interview. "I'm not homophobic and I'm not anti-gay. I used a word that I shouldn't have used and I hurt people."


 


White did not apologize to Hunt, a longtime MMA reporter. In Hunt's story that infuriated White, she wrote that Zuffa, the company that owns and operates promotions for the UFC and WEC, notified some fighter representatives that they will no longer receive credentials to sit with their clients backstage on fight night. White denied any changes.


 


"I went on the attack and I ended up attacking someone I didn't mean to," White said. "I absolutely, positively meant to attack the reporter, Loretta Hunt from Sherdog. Absolutely."


 


Hunt, in an e-mail to ESPN.com on Thursday night, wrote: "I stand by the story. It's accurate."


 


White told ESPN.com's Buckheit that he had didn't want to "write some canned statement from the company -- there's no [expletive] way I was going to do that." Instead, he said he would issue another video response, and then quit talking about the incident.


 


"... You know what? The thing that sucks is that video rant, the feedback I got was not negative," White said. "It was overwhelmingly positive from our fans. It was, 'Yeah, you go, Dana. You're the man.'


 


"At the end of the day, the worst thing for me is that I don't want anybody thinking that it's cool to say that word especially now that I know the word "faggot" is as powerful as the n-word. I don't want these kids out there watching me and thinking it's cool. I don't want that."

as he didn't include the transgender community, i'm not buying it.

 because trannies are also born that way. and crossdressers and people who like fucking the knot in a tree trunk or a hole in a grapefruit... all born that way and should be able to marry and get tax benefits.





what!!! you saying im wrong!!! fucking racists!!! thats like saying n1gger to a black african american!!!11
