Some have gone far enough to say that Diaz has the pass to say something like that.
This Is Not The First Time, Though!!
During an episode of “The Schaub Show” on August 30, 2022, the former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub addressed a clip featuring Nate Diaz using the n-word on his Instagram.
Schaub’s reaction was a mix of perplexity and acknowledgment that Diaz seems to receive different treatment in such situations.
While acknowledging Diaz’s use of offensive language, Schaub also noted that the incident didn’t garner much media attention.
His response seemed to suggest a somewhat resigned attitude, leaving the situation open to unfold on its own.
As always, Schaub expressed his thoughts candidly and encouraged Diaz to handle the aftermath as he sees fit.
