Khabib Nurmagomedov was wrong about a couple things in his statement at the UFC 229 post-fight press conference late Saturday night, the one in which he apologized for initiating a near-riot at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, then immediately expressed bafflement over the fact anyone cared about his actions at all.
Despite what Nurmagomedov expressed, you do, in fact, get to talk about subjects like religion and country here in the United States. The freedoms to do so are enshrined in our nation’s founding principles, and even now, in 2018, when it seems like our most basic tenets are under constant assault, you’re free to discuss these subjects.
