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?

I think any comedian who takes part loses all rights to ever complain about freedom of speech, or cancel culture, or whatever. Since they likely won't have been kidnapped and murdered by bone saw.

I tend to agree with this stance. Particularly hypocritical of one of my top 5 favorites Bill Burr.
