Teddy Roosevelt sparred in boxing matches right on the White House grounds and set up a full training area in the basement for boxing, wrestling, and jiujitsu.
Bringing the UFC to the White House for USA's 250th is an awesome idea & it perfectly honors our founding and history.
Imagine getting upset that an athlete introduced a standing democratically elected president. A president who won the popular vote
Yall need to touch grass
Jaxson Dart was out here publicly defending Abdul Carter last year when the media was itching for tidbits.
Maybe it’s just different for some guys. I know for me I won’t let political beliefs get in between the blood, sweat, and tears we’ve shed as teammates.
Abdul Carter is an idiot. It don’t matter what political beliefs you believe in you don’t call out a teammate publicly for his beliefs.
Out of all people to talk.
ln 1992 Al Gore predicted that within two decades, Florida would lose 60% of its population due to climate change. Today, 34 years later, Florida’s population is 425% higher than it was in 1992.
& this is what grown man sports is about. Talk your shit, back it up on the field then hug it out like men after n go home. Respect to both sides 👏🏾
The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.
They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.
Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.
Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.
We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.
Crazy Dad day ahead. Early wake up, water the lawn, gym, record @BrillDumbShow , flag football team pictures, t ball game, flag football game (all whilst providing adequate nourishment and support for my family). These are the days that seperate the men from the boys.
