Brendan Schaub encourages comics to unite in their support for Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan has become a luminary in recent times and has built a podcast empire unlike anyone has ever seen before. He is the latest victim of the vindictive ‘cancel culture’ and the issue seems to be growing by the minute.
Joe Rogan has been part of the UFC ever since its inception and his voice is synonymous with UFC card perhaps. He grabbed the news for his vaccine-skeptical views on his podcast that enraged many. Famous singer Neil Young expressed his desire to quit Spotify if the platform does not take down the ‘The Joe Rogan Podcast’.
Freshly a compilation of his old videos have emerged of him using racial slurs on multiple occasions. This has added fuel to the fire and Spotify has taken down 70 episodes of the JRE without any statement.
Longtime friend and fellow podcaster Brendan Schaub has come out in Rogan’s defense urging the comedy community to stick together. He put out a tweet saying –
“I’ll do ya one better @Shanemgillis. If they cancel @joerogan every comic Rogan has ever helped should pull their podcast off Spotify. I’m down.”
What turn will the situation take now and will Joe Rogan be made to succumb to the cancel-culture pressure still remains a question.
Many UFC fighters have come out in support of Joe Rogan amid his racial controversy.
