Dana White calls Darren Rovell a ‘douche’ on Twitter
Dana White is about as unprofessional as it gets when it comes to sports executives, so his Twitter behavior on Wednesday should not come as a surprise.
ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell tweeted Wednesday about the UFC sale going south. The company was sold recently, but since then superstars Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones failed drug tests. Rovell talked about the sale souring, leading to White calling him a “douche” in response.
@darrenrovell he doesn't hate UFC he's just a total douche who needs to talk about just about anything to stay employed.

While few would disagree with that description of Rovell, this is once again another example of White name-calling and bullying. In what other pro league would the president publicly call a reporter a “douche” in a forum like Twitter? I guess if Donald Drumpf were a pro league president, he probably would, which explains why White spoke at the RNC recently.
