Why I will boycott the UFC pay-per-view from the White House

A Baptist News Global opinion writer announces a personal boycott of UFC Freedom 250, a pay-per-view event tied to a White House celebration of America's 250th anniversary. The author's objection is not directed at MMA athletes or fans, but at the symbolism and contradictions in using the language of 'freedom' for a celebratory event. The piece contextualizes the boycott within a broader critique of American history, citing slavery, Jim Crow laws, and ongoing voting rights debates stemming from the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
