McGregor's 'dangerous Dublin' claim traces to gambling site list
Conor McGregor appears to have based one of the key views he expressed during his St Patrick's Day White House visit on a ranking of European cities published by an online gambling company.
A survey-anyone site ranks cities.
A gambling site uses that output directly in a press release.
Media pick up the release, run headlines like 'Dublin among most dangerous cities in Europe.'
Twitter users add their spice - it ends up in the White House.
2025 infocycle.
