Boxing champ Conor McGregor was in New York after President Donald Trump was elected, and he didn’t like what he saw: Yahoo News reports:
UFC 205 took place in New York City and came on the heels of Donald Trump becoming the president of the United States. McGregor saw plenty of people protesting Trump getting elected while he was in the city, and the Irishman feels the protesters shouldn’t be placing the blame on politicians.
“I feel like you’re in charge of your own situation,” McGregor told Zach Baron in a GQ cover story. “When you start blaming others for your situation, like I see all these people screaming at these politicians and I was like, ‘It’s the wrong mindset!’”
Isn’t that awesome?
He also had the guts to speak out about unions:
“I saw this union thing they tried to do––they reminded me of the people that march about the politicians,” McGregor stated. “It’s you gotta do it. You’re in control of yourself. People like to blame others. I think a person should just look at their own situation, look around them, find out what they wish to do, and seek and go and do that. And that’s it … Like all these fighters: ‘This union is gonna save us!’ What do you mean, it’s gonna save you, exactly? … I just think it’s a crazy thing to spend energy on … standing on a [expletive] picket … I don’t know.”
I always feel like unions are thugs — as they try to intimidate people and small businesses into using them, or else. It doesn’t matter if they offer the lowest prices for their services or have the best work ethic. If a business decides to use non-union labor, there’s a price to pay… And it’s high.
I love to see McGregor speaking out about all the insanity! Sometimes it takes an Irishman to tell Americans to grow up.
