Allah also informs us in the Quran that He created horses, mules, and donkeys for us to ride. Some of the benefits of horseback riding are, it builds core strength, is good for lower back pain, builds pelvis strength, builds inner thigh strength, helps with balance, it calms the mind, lightens the mood, and is fun. Horseback riding originated in Central Asia at around 800 BC. Horseback riding was also an excellent way to travel during wars. Horseback riding was used during business trips to get to other cities or towns faster. Horseback riding is a fun and effective way to travel without polluting the earth. Horseback riding was used by the beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) and many other people to travel to faraway places and to migrate and is still used in the Olympics today.

  • The Strategy and Spectacle of Dana White's
    International Journal of Sport Communication, 2020, 13, 381–390 https://doi.org/10.1123/ijsc.2020-0240 © 2020 Human Kinetics, Inc. SCHOLARLY COMMENTARY The Show Must Go On: The Strategy and Spectacle of Dana White’s Efforts to Promote UFC 249 During the Coronavirus Pandemic Ted M. Butryn and Matthew A. Masucci jay a. johnson San José State University University of Manitoba While most professional sports quickly postponed their seasons due to COVID- 19, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) took a decidedly contrarian approach as president Dana White continued to promote UFC 249 until pressure forced its cancelation on April 9, 2020. Drawing from work on sport and spectacle and the media as well as sport management scholarship on crisis management, the authors provide a commentary on the mediated spectacle of White’s (eventually successful) efforts to promote UFC 249 during the pandemic. Drawing from numerous media sources, they discuss how White sought to control the public narrative in several key ways. The authors further explore how White decried the seriousness of the pandemic while centralizing the UFC’s place in the U.S. sporting landscape. Finally, the authors discuss how White’s efforts might both help and hinder the UFC as a mainstream sports promotion. Keywords: athlete labor, COVID-19, media, MMA, sport journalism Long after other professional leagues suspended live events due to public health guidelines related to COVID-19, mixed martial arts (MMA) impresario and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president and chief executive officer Dana White continued to brazenly promote UFC 249, scheduled to take place on April 18, 2020.

  • Let's Get Ready to Unbundle!
    LET’S GET READY TO UNBUNDLE! It’s Time for the UFC to Offer Individual Fights for Purchase Nick Cornor Abstract A bedrock principle of U.S. Copyright law normally dictates that when a person steals your original work of authorship, a court should issue an injunc- tion and require the violator to pay damages. For centuries this principle has sufficed; however, a lack of deep-pocket defendants and continued lobbying efforts by internet service providers have made this principle untenable when applied to illegal online streaming. This is especially true for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts promoter that has seen its live broadcasts pirated over the internet at an alarming rate, thereby threaten- ing the bulk of its revenue. This Comment advocates that the UFC unbundle its current pay- per-view business model in favor of charging market-based prices for each individual fight. The primary benefit of this approach includes increased rev- enue for the UFC by enticing consumers away from illegal online streaming with lower prices. Potential adjacent benefits include reforming fighter com- pensation schemes, incentivizing fighters to promote their own individual fights, easing controversies regarding unionization efforts by the fighters, and providing the UFC with greater marketing data. Therefore, by unbundling its business model, the UFC will ultimately be able to bypass the shortcomings of U.S. Copyright law and take the lead in a digital media landscape already changing at lightning speeds. * J.D., South Texas College of Law Houston; M.A., University of Oklahoma, 2013; B.S.
