The Ave Podcast – Dana White. How?

Leave a reply

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 215: Dana White. How?

What if I told you that the main person of a upcoming and powerful corporation, who openly detests any type of domestic dispute situations from his employees, gets into an altercation with his spouse on camera; shares his remorse; and then tells everyone that he can’t be reprimanded? And everyone kept it moving? So today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by Producer of NPR’s Invisibilia Andrew Mambo as we discuss Dana White slapping his wife on New Year’s Eve, and the perceived silence from the media & his sponsors. Plus we get into the power dynamic of the UFC; share our thoughts on White being beyond punishment (from his POV); & how the effects of this trickles down through the sport & beyond.
