Speaking on a podcast, White expressed that he “can’t stand soccer” and moaned about how big the “net” is.
“I think that it’s the least talented sport on Earth.
“There’s a reason that three-year-olds can play soccer. You run around and kick a ball. ‘You wouldn’t say that if you were in Brazil,’ I say this in every country.
‘When you’re playing a game when the net is this big and the score is 3-1… Are you sh*tting me right now? Do you know how untalented you have to be to score three points when the net is this big?”
Fans were furious on Twitter and left puzzled that White would say this about the most popular sport on the planet.
“I can now confidently say that I am a certified Dana white hater now…” wrote one fan.
“Damn, I was really hoping Dana White liked soccer. Would have been huge for the *checks notes* most popular sport on the planet.” another replied.
