Dana White explains why UFC doesn’t have Pride Night amid Giants Bible verse controversy

Dana White explains why the UFC does their own thing and refuses to give into Pride Night pressure and "shove stuff down anyone's throats."

Dana White has never been much interested in corporate virtue-signaling.

White, the president and CEO of UFC, joined "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless" and was asked why the promotion doesn’t host a Pride Night. The question came as Pride-themed events are once again causing controversy in sports, most recently with the San Francisco Giants.

"I don’t give a s---. I don’t care what you are or who you are or what you do. We don’t talk about that or any of that stuff," White told Lahren. "I’m just not into it."

White’s argument is not that gay fighters, fans or employees are unwelcome in the UFC. It is that the UFC doesn’t need a theme night, a special logo or a public-relations campaign to prove it treats people with respect.

And it’s not difficult to understand why White wants no part of that game.

Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker recently wrote Bible verse references on rainbow-logo Pride Night caps during San Francisco’s June 12 game. Roupp wrote "Gen 9:12-16," a reference to the biblical passage describing the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant after the flood. Reliever Sam Hentges wore the team’s standard cap instead of the Pride-themed version.
