This is a critical piece of legislation that directly affects the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC) and many other U.S.-based companies that create American jobs by producing live sporting events. Presently, the UFC, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, and many other American sporting businesses are threatened by the unlawful live streaming of our telecasts

I figured they would be for it.   Streaming impacts there business on some level.    Sopa is a perfect example of a good core idea, keeping people from stealing things online, and then going way beyond that scope and turning that good idea into something almost no one can get behind.

I don't blame him for getting behind it, imagine how much money he loses from the illegal streams that I'm sure many of us use. And all the streaming websites are loaded with ads, which makes the people streaming the events money off of something they stole. SOPA was an alright idea but it gave the government way too much power over people's freedom of speech, and copyrighted materials are a pretty wide spectrum of things to ban. I wouldn't be surprised if it re-appeared after the elections are over though.
