Chael Sonnen attacked once again! The controversial North American even scheduled to face Mark Munoz at UFC on Fox 2, January 28th, does not take the focus away from his old rival: Anderson Silva. This time, Sonnen criticized the tax exemption received by Corinthians, the club that sponsors Anderson, for the construction of the São Paulo club's stadium.
Through his Twitter, Sonnen called for schools to be built in Brazil, not stadiums for football teams.

“I would like to see them build schools, not a stadium for Corinthians”, said Sonnen, who promised to beat the “Spider” at home. “If they’re going to build a stadium, I’m going to bring Anderson down there,” he added.
Corinthians obtained, through former president Lula, more than R$420 million in tax exemption to build the stadium, an old dream of the São Paulo club. The remainder of the payment will be financed by BNDES with interest rates well below market rates.

Beat them up Sonnen, very well thought out. Brazil doesn't have hospitals or schools that can cover the demand, but the illiterate president wants to build a stadium for Corinthians with our money. Bastard.
