Those league commissioners from sports are all under the direction of state health laws/rules. For example, UFC 249 was supposed to be held this past week or this week, but it got shut down by the Governor of CA, who called Disney, the broadcast parent of ESPN who was going to stream the fights in America and pretty much said stop, no way.

That's all fine and dandy to include those sports league commissioners, however they are deferring to state health officials which is where their teams play. To that, players unions of American sports leagues will not rush into anything that jeopardizes their health, family's health, and compromises the safety of others who allow them to play such as team staff members, trainers, team doctors, broadcast teams, etc.

I love how the Governor of California has to put in a call to a higher authority, Disney, to get the UFC to stop running :lol:

God bless America.

It was because it was technically American Indian land. It wasn't state land. I'm as Anti- how the USA is run as anybody else, but let's be fair. There are clear laws about Native American Indian land.

Even then, just shows that there are loopholes to many things. Probably would have helped the Indian reservation/land economically and give them a platform to voice their hardships.

I give credit to Dana for thinking outside the box on this one and for stepping down when asked to do so and not showing his frustration and disappointment publicly.

Credit? For trying to circumvent measures designed to stop people dying?

The first time he was plainly trying not to say too much and even that was too much for Trump. He plainly said pushback the previous day and the clarification was probably disingenuous and means Trump didn't personally pushback even though it was his decision to ignore advice. He had a flunky do it or something like that most likely.
Or he was just clarifying what he said, but who knows.It seems your dammed if you do or your dammed if you don't. Im sure Liberals would hate Trump if he cured starvation, cancer and organised world peace. Hell he pulled Troops out of Syria, dammed by the Democrats "What about the Kurds", met with Rocket man, stopped the war games with South Korea dammed how can he meet him he is a dictator but thanks to the previous administration he now has nice shinny nuclear bombs. Peace treaty in Afghanistan, dammed again. And basically what ever Trump does he will be dammed by the peace loving Liberals who hate insults but insult everyone not following there path. Carry on...

"He knows business. He's a business guy but he's also a people guy. People come to watch his business so this isn't just about putting a business guy on the panel, okaaaaay? He's also a people guy. He's gonna get the job done and make sure people are okay before we get the economy moving again to record levels. It'll be sky high, record numbers. The highest we've seen since nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table."
The craziest thing about this is I can’t even tell if this is a genuine Trump quote or not :lol:

Trump slowing down the cheque (check :rolleyes: ) process by making sure his name is printed on the god damn thing

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/un...checks-will-slow-delivery-to-millions-report/
I think this is going to backfire pretty badly for him. If it comes as a federal hand out, banks can withhold that money to service any debt like an outstanding student loan, business loan, child support payment or pending mortgage payment and people who need the cash to buy essentials might not even get it.

He quite obviously wasn't.

Not much chance we will get to find out although in his head he probably thinks he has done all of these.

Hell he pulled Troops out of Syria, dammed by the Democrats "What about the Kurds"
Abandoned the Kurds, allies in the fight against ISIS, to be slaughtered. Great fecking leadership that will also likely allow ISIS to return.

met with Rocket man, stopped the war games with South Korea dammed how can he meet him he is a dictator but thanks to the previous administration he now has nice shinny nuclear bombs.
And that has done nothing to make the region more stable and probably the opposite.

Peace treaty in Afghanistan, dammed again.
Peace process? Hardly.

And basically what ever Trump does he will be dammed by the peace loving Liberals who hate insults but insult everyone not following there path. Carry on...
Because he is an evil, narcissistic, incompetent moron who is endangering us all.

Tbh the XFL was good this time around, just so haplened it got halted due to the pandemic, i don't think its failure was due to game itself, by all accounts many NFL lovers all were vastly impressed by it.

On the WHO funding I think this is just a case of him grabbing a headline but not actually being able to do it. His supporters never read the fine print so they'll think he's actually doing what he claims.

I doubt that ISIS will return with the Russians and Turks around not to mention that the Syrian government has pity much taken most the country back from the rebels that where backed by the previously administration to overthrown Assad.

And that has done nothing to make the region more stable and probably the opposite. - How so? An American President for once not trying to bully someone but showed his willingness to sit down and have a chat something that has never been done ever, hell the previous Administration approach of constantly rubbing Americans power in North Korea's face with their war games with the South of which led the North to acquire a Nuclear Bomb. I prefer Trumps approach myself Im certain the people living in Seoul do.

Peace process? Hardly. Did he not get the Taliban to sign a peace treaty.

Because he is an evil, narcissistic, incompetent moron who is endangering us all. If you believe Trump is evil I doubt you know the meaning of the word , Narcissistic - Ill give you that you have to be to handle the poo he is handled in the last 4 years , incompetent - debatable.

Cutting WHO funding in the largest pandemic in a century. This guy is up there with the biggest psychopaths in the worlds history, and he's about to create the death toll to go with it.

Good to see that he's brought in a lot of economists and health officials to really think this through and not just a bunch of businessmen who will obviously want things to reopen as soon as possible.
Well, he might actually be listening to these people and think they have a valid opinion. And some of them are more likely to have a better idea about what to do than some of the other people influencing him. Unlikely that it will be worse than it already is.

Yeah, I bet the guys from Chick-fil-A and Yum Brands and Dana White & Vince McMahon know far more than leading pandemic and health experts and leading professors in history and economics.

Strange that only 40% of South Koreans have a positive approval of him then.

Don't bother with pesky things like facts. His whataboutism or plain disregard and flippant ignorance regarding the abandonment and subsequent slaughter of the Kurds is one of the most distasteful things I have read on here for a while. Although not quite shit sandwich level, but not too far from it.

Did you have the same response for the half a million Syrians and countless millions refuge ed all over the world, that was not Trumps doing but I hope you screamed blue murder at the atrocities that the Syrian government has handed out on the good people of Syrian oh and lets not forget Libya. Thanks to the Democrats lovely.

In your personal opinion do you think that the WHO have handled this pandemic well???
I'll bite. Imagine you live in a town with one fire service. Each year, one person checks the fire alarms at your house. This year, when he came, he wasn't allowed in but was told the batteries were fine, even though they weren't.

Now you're sitting in your living room surrounded by flames, and you decide to shut down the fire department.

USA= 400 million.
China= 75 million.

Why wouldn't the WHO guy answer the question on Taiwan? I don't get that at all.

You just have to admire the brazen corruption at this point.
I'm pretty sure everyone knew that campaign funding and favours were linked but I doubt it was ever this transparent (wrestling is essential in the midst of a pandemic?).

He may as well sit at a desk with a sign saying "political favours for sale" and let people queue up with bags of cash.... in the middle of a press conference.
