'Oh, you're disgusted by it? Watch The Voice.' 9WWOS
White's new league has copped plenty of criticism over health concerns for those taking part, with neurologists claiming slaps to the face can cause permanent brain damage.
His post attracted a response from former world champion Dib who wrote: "This is not sport, this is stupidity." "I was contacted to do Slap League, you guys would be shocked at how much it pays," Spicely wrote on Twitter. In a recent interview, White defended the new venture, saying the promotion has done its due diligence."With proper medical attention during and after the fight. These are all the things we need to educate people on, just like we needed to educate people on mixed martial arts.
"It's kind of selfish to say that somebody can take a stick, stab it in the ground, flick themselves over another stick and land on a bed and call that a sport, but we can't call Power Slap a sport."

Lidia Thorpe has made it clear the Voice to Parliament is a ‘con’Sky News host Andrew Bolt claims Senator Lidia Thorpe did everyone a favour by quitting the Greens and making it clear Labor’s Voice to Parliament is a “con”. He said Labor will be angry that the former Greens Senator exposed why the Voice is “so dangerous”. “Labor is saying, ‘don't worry, vote for this Voice in the referendum later this year because it's really harmless, it is going to have no power, it is just there to advise’,” Mr Bolt said. “I say, a con because if you tell Aborigines they are so different and so oppressed that they, unlike any other race, must have their own advisory parliament, how can you then tell them, ‘that said, your new power is not going to have any real power’.”
