I’m a big UFC fan so Saudi Arabia being involved in my media is nothing new. That said, it seems fairly hypocritical for alot of the outspoken comics to participate. Opinions?

It has nothing to do with religion for me personally. Its about the reported slave labor, journalist killings, lack of rights for women and the countries connection to 9/11. Saying the US is killing people doesn’t help or clarify anything. It’s disingenuous and attempts to dismiss a legitimate criticism. Also, like I said, I’m genuinely not “above” consuming media from a country I think is bad. I haven’t missed a UFC event in more than a decade. That company does shitty things but they don’t really lie about them. The comedians I’m concerned with have made their careers (in some cases) talking about completely antithetical ideas/topics to Saudia Arabian media, culture and journalism.
