Chaplian To The Fighters
You know I was thinking
 In a lot of large multinational companies, particularly capitalistic ones that are very expensive, will aim to provide services for their employees. One of which is often the service of "Chaplain" an ordained minister which is available within the establishment, sometimes only once a week or once a month, sometimes everyday....Most of our Government services, and the Civil Service will also have Chaplains...so you'll have Prison Chaplains, Military Chaplains etc. I wonder if the UFC has ever given thought to having a Fighter Chaplain...especially as a lot of Fighters often talk about it spiritually speaking even when they dont profess to be at all religious in terms of established faith. I was thinking of ways in which the UFC could do this, because obviously the fighters are spread out over the entire world and largely separate outside of an event. I suppose you would have to have the base at the Headquarters in Nevada, im sure that they could create one room for a small chaplaincy. Then you could have the minister taken to every event, and turn a room of the venue into a chaplaincy for say the week before the event or something. IDK...maybe its a really dumbass thing to have made a thread about...but sometimes everyone needs to be able to talk about their work and stress to someone...I mean, the chances are the UFC already have some kind of counselling service for fighters....if they dont, they really oughta...it would be a little like an enhancement to that.... just a thought

I don't know, Dave, at the rate the F-word comes flying out of Dana's mouth, can you imagine if he were around when the chaplain is there...
 Plus, what if he/they don't approve of cage fighting?

Bonnie its like any other job...a Chaplain is almost always either an NSM...Non-Stypendary Minister, or MSE, Minister in Secular Employment. Therefore they will have to apply for the job, just like a normal secular person...so someone who didnt approve of mma, or was offended by Dana Whites mouth need not apply in the first place
