Dana White Says Soccer Is The Least Talented Sport On Earth - "There's A Reason 3-Year-Olds Play Soccer, Okay?"
So this is actually an old take/interview from Dana White going re-viral, and not a quote from this week - but my god if it isn't hilarious. I got a true belly laugh outta this quote when I woke up.
“Can’t stand soccer, I think it’s the least talented sport on earth. There’s a reason three year olds can play soccer ok? You run around and kick a ball. Do you know how untalented you have to be to score three points when the net is this big?”
I mean, he HAD to know how many people that would enrage (EVEN BACK THEN) and he still launched that take out there with the utmost confidence like he was Dr. Evil....
Judging by the replies to that above tweet, it's certainly re-enraging the footy fans, and it's been a lot of fun to watch this morning….
Most people are also focusing in on the part he said about three-year-olds being able to play soccer and pointing out that three-year-olds are also able to throw punches and "wrestle" or whatever, but blah blah blah. Yadda yadda. That's not important at all.
Takes like this are why I love Uncle Dana! He'll always tell ya how he really feels - even if it's a take about soccer being the "least talented sport in the world" while he's in Brazil! He don't give a fuck!
This clip is actually going so re-viral (smack dab in the middle of the World Cup, no less) that I could totally see it provoking responses from a couple prominent players and causing Dana to re-address it, and I REEAAALLLY hope he still feels the same way. I think doubling down right now would be incredible.
Call out the flopping, the overall lack of skill and immaturity in the sport, and keep going in about the ridiculousness of the net size. Let's just see how red Troopz face can get. I think weed smoke may actually start shooting out of his ears if you get him mad enough.
