Who cares? Context is everything. People who were offended by this before finding out what it was all about were just jumping to conclusions. People who know what it's all about and are still offended by this are just over sensitive. Get over it, it's funny.

Here is some context taken from Dana White's twitter:

Jay Norton: ‏@JayNort I hope that photo of @danawhite posing as a homeless person on @MiddleEasy has a story. It could be taken quite offensively otherwise.

Dana White: ‏@danawhite @JayNort people are such pussies these days it makes me SICK!!!

JASON WOZ: WOZNY ‏@UFCWOZNY @NFLONFOX @danawhite Ahhh, done in bad taste Dana. Not funny for those who actually live out of a box. Should apologize

Dana White: ‏@danawhite @UFCWOZNY ur a puss

Dana White: ‏@danawhite @UFCWOZNY it's a skit for a comedian. Pussies in this country cry about everything!!! Get a sense of humor

I agree context is important think you mistook what I posted...

Putting up a picture of yourself acting/dressed like a homeless person with no explanation or hints of an explanation behind it make no sense. It's foolish and short sighted to think this isn't going to bring in negative responses otherwise.

Hence the reason I said it was a horrible use of social media. If you are going to post something like this explain it at the same time or people will draw what they feel is a logical conclusion to it otherwise. Seeing the head of a profitable billion dollar company dressing up as a homeless person might not be funny to every one.

I'm not offended for the record didn't think it was funny either though just thought it was poorly implemented.

Edit - Is it just me or did they pull the pic down ?

Fair enough. They probably should have explained what it was all about.

Even out of context though, it seems like people are still overreacting.

I do enjoy Dana's solution of swears/insults until people stop caring.

Dana will always bring in emotional responses like that. He's not a very likeable person and is rarely going to get passes for his bad judgement then over reacts in return to the criticism he receives.

Eh. I don't get the big deal. People mock many different groups all the time. Comedians do for a living... In fact it's most of what some of them do. Tv shows do it. Movies do it. Did anyone get offended when Jim Carey yelled at a bum in liar liar? I'm not saying its a good way to get publicity because its not really... But for a man that basically pays other men to beat the shit out of each other, and says fuck every three words its not that shocking. I guess it's classless, but when has Dana ever had class?

[Sniggles]

This is like one of those awkward Romney comments where he admonishes the poor passive aggressively while trying to be funny. It's rich man's humor. JPeezy would love this photo!

Enjoy your rape jokes.

Aren't you usually a member of the PC police?

Wow, Dana is a genius.

Those homeless people can always watch the fights from outside the window of a bar.

I know, I was just being a smartass.

I have done that several times. Well not outside of a window... there are TV's outside this one place near me.

Dana White beefs with Twitter followers over Fox NFL Sunday comedy segment - Bloody Elbow


Who give a shit about Dana & Fox's shitty attempt at humor... But what a stupid business move considering some of your main sponsors are alcohol companies...

I would be Bud would not want to be associated in anyway with that picture of Dana.
