UFC’s President and CEO, Dana White, may have apologized for the anti-gay slurs, but the fight against his controversial youtube video isn’t over, folks. The Assn. of Women in Sports Media, wants the UFC company to take action against Dana White. Not only that he used the gay slur, he also used offensive words toward the women, like “cunt”, and others in the videos that offended the women.
The media group has also defended Loretta Hunt and they say that many women are also UFC and MMA fans. I think Dana needs to realize that many women are fans of the sport that he could turn women off.
This article doesn’t state what kind of action they want UFC to go against Dana White, whether they want him to get terminated as President or some kind of suspension/punishment, but it’s all up to Lorenzo and Frank Fertita, what they would do with Dana White since they are his bosses. The women media group just wants the UFC officials to confront Dana about this.

I actually kind of agree with them, that writers women media group, is right that men shouldn’t talk to women that way. It’s okay to swear in conversation, but calling innocent women, “bitch” or “cunt” is way out of line.
Loretta wasn’t acting like a bitch in her article about managers and agents not getting credentials at all, she’s just doing her job and doing news that a reporter would do.
While I’m sure, some people would like to see Dana fired for this, I’m sure his bosses would defend him and say he didn’t do anything wrong.
