Quit your multi-million dollar jobs and soft privileged lives playing a kids game, take a massive pay cut, and perform the toughest job in America. Become cops!!”

Colby Covington thrashes LeBron James

The shooting of Jacob Blake has caused a widespread protest around the country, with public and police authority engaging in violent activities. However, on the other side, so many people have taken a different stand on the entire matter and await a detailed investigation of the matter. Many have also criticized the way the protests are being carried out, and have called it a riot instead of a peaceful protest to raise their voice against Black Lives Matter.

However, sports authorities taking a step and postponing the matches to show support is a bold step in the right direction. It’s hard to outrightly deny Colby Covington, who put light on how tough the job of a cop can be. Interestingly enough, Covington’s comments grabbed UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman‘s attention, who left a scathing reply to the former title contender. Kamaru Usman picked up an impressive 5th round TKO win over Colby Covington back in December of 2019 at UFC 245.
