"It's been a calculated attack" - Brendan Schaub weighs in on Joe Rogan's Spotify controversy

Brendan Schaub feels the recent allegations of racism brought against Joe Rogan are a calculated attack by his naysayers.

Schaub admitted that the UFC commentator shouldn't have racially charged language on his podcast. Having said that, he pointed out that the decision to shed light on the matter now makes it evident that it's a planned attempt to damage Rogan's reputation.

Schaub explained that although Rogan has previously used the 'N-word' on his podcast, light is being shed upon the matter now because he's already being criticized for allegedly spreading misinformation surrounding COVID-19. He also pointed out that since it's Black History Month, talking about the issue now could compound the renowned podcaster's problems.

In a recently shared video on his YouTube channel, the former UFC fighter said:

"It's been a calculated attack on Joe right now and it's been boiling and it's boiled up to February and they decided to pull the race card in February. That stuff they said has been out forever. Everyone's aware of it, that stuff has been out forever, you don't think when he signed with spotify people are aware of this stuff?"

'Big Brown' added:

"Of course this is a calculated attack and you can see the slow boil and then it's Black History Month. What a better time to spark this than black history month."
