  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The USA's 250th birthday to be celebrated with Octagon UFC/MMA fight, possibly on the White House South Lawn

I always think the action is more consistent than any other sport and literally every play could be something game-changing. Even if it doesn’t change the game, unless the ball stays exactly where it is, yardage gains and losses always matter.
Plus people think because it grunty that its dumb. But its actually one of the most cerebrally demanding pro sports out there. The rules are very complex, and you have to remember loads of play and formations etc.

As for sports on the White House lawns, lets limit it to the Easter egg roll.

I didn't recall what his name is, but probably. I think there was also another showing off her mastectomy. Maybe more parading shirtless around the White House.
Yeah. I looked it up. That’s his name.

It was the Capitol, and his name was Jake Angeli.
Rose Montoya was the man banned from the White House after a pride parade when he went topless.

I love football. Huge NFL fan. Gigantic. It’s my favorite sport. Has been my whole life. If the White House was hosting a PPV NFL football game on the south lawn to commemorate the 250th year of our country, I’d feel exactly the same.

There are a billion cheaper, more accessible, more dignified ways to honor 250 years of history than people beating each other senseless in a sports league that’s been around for barely 30 years.
AFAIK, UFC isn't doing PPV anymore since they inked the deal with Paramount+.

You've got events and people a tad mixed up.

And Jake was the man who went topless during an insurrection.

The left goes on and on about supporting the working class. But when it comes to sports the working class love, look at how snooty they get.
That's rich. We're trying to support them with healthcare, jobs, and food security. 'The left' isn't suppressing the UFC. Putting the Octagon on the South Lawn doesn't somehow make UFC accessible to the nation's workers, starving for entertainment. It's already readily available to everyone.

So toplessness is ok if you are trying to stop democracy and committing violent acts as part of an insurrection, but not Ok at a party. Got it.
Both are wrong?

So, I'm trying to understand the nature of what the objection is...

The White House Lawn has been the venue for several other "purely entertainment" events.





(Carter and Reagan both hosted several entertainment-based events on the very same lawn)


So is the objection that some form of entertainment is being hosted on the White house lawn?

Or is the objection that it's a form of entertainment that's more popular with conservatives than liberals?

Jake Angeli was fined $2000 and spent 2.4 years in jail, how does that equal it being okay? Or are you saying Rose Montoya should've been fined and spent time in jail too?

Oh baloney. That's all empty political posturing. Only those who don't work or are in the country illegally receive any such benefits. Us working class only got having to pay more for everything.

They're being condescending as usual.

What rubbish. Medicaid, SNAP and the Obamacare subsidies apply to working families.

Anyway, the topic is UFC at the White House.

Football is the best TV sport*. And I used to love to play it.

*Young men destroying their brain issues notwithstanding.
Let's see if I can throw a bit of gasoline on that fire...

...

Rugby is superior to American football in all aspects.
