Defending Goya Foods, UFC’s Jorge Masvidal Fights The “Woke Mob”
Forbes ^ | 11 July 2020 | Seth Cohen

... While doing so, the CEO also heaped praise on the President. “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country, that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”

...on Saturday, Masvidol expressed support for Goya Foods, taking aim at the those calling for the boycott of the Spanish foods company and linking to a story about Goya donating a million pounds of food to at the time of 2018’s deadly Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico.

“Actions of @GoyaFoods speak louder than the #woke mob. My people don’t get influenced by those that don’t know. They’ve been helping our people when we needed it most.”

By stepping into the political arena and criticizing the “woke mob,” a derisive term used by many to describe those calling for boycotts or other social justice related actions, Masvidal has found himself as an ambassador for another kind of fight, one that can be as fierce as mixed martial arts. While it is obvious that Masvidal's perspective on Goya is grounded in both his heritage and his experience, it might be that its his popularity that makes his arguments in favor of the food company even more effective.

So for example..mirage wants the favorite to win..and that was before a 100k bet on the underdog. So since so much money ...and could easily be fixed...i dont bet very much. I put 5 bucks on the underdog..which is the goya supporter

Its a parimutuel scheme like at the horse track where the odds continuously change?

I don’t understand that one either but have been around it.

Goya bouillon is the best-even better than Knorr is-if you like scrambled eggs, try mixing in some of their canned cuitlacoche/corn mushrooms and/or zucchini flowers-their whole hearts of palm are nice, too...

Odds change based on your bookie. Thats why some people have multiple bookies.

There is a guy who stood to make a million on Colin m winning today and tomorrow in the PGA. I know his handle on twitter.betrivers actually confirmed the bets. He lost today but still could win tomorrow. Odds change as fast as i try to make a bet

I cant imagine betting like he does. I dont even like to lose 50 cents

Yep..usman is a nigerian living in the US..and thinks we are a bunch of racists

So its BLM versus Hispanic Goya Supporter underdog. Public voting Masvidal.
