"super-elite"
did you mean the "parasite class"?
Explain the difference.
Oh, no difference. I am just pointing out the correct name for that group
They can have them. Always found boxing/mma/ufc/etc pretty pointless. It’s just the glorification of violence.
It’s just the glorification of violence.
So that's boxing, american football, ice hockey, rugby, wrestling (all kinds), all martial arts and even fencing we have to leave to the reactionaries.
That’s quite the reductive assertion you have there… Why stop with your list? Aren’t all sports fundamentally a preparation for war?
Cage fighting feels different. In all the other sports, yes, violence does occur, but in cage fighting the violence is the product. I am sure it’s only a matter of time before Trump or some other rich fuck sits ringside and at the end of a bout points his thumb downward… The man wants to be Caesar, we get it.
it’s wrong on the WH lawn and it probably should be banned on medical grounds, too.
Aren’t all sports fundamentally a preparation for war?
Perhaps they are... I never said that this was necessarily a bad thing. After all... peace does not work on fascists nor their liberal handlers.
and it probably should be banned on medical grounds, too.
If we're going to do that boxing, rugby and american football should be up for the chop, too - even professional wrestling. You do understand what the term "punch drunk" means, right?
I do know what punch-drunk means. And yes, this may need to be a discussion. The mark of a functioning society is that as new information comes in, we learn from it and change.
If that means we have to talk about banning (American) football and even (English) Football, sure. Before that there’s be a discussion about what changes could be made, which is why English football is talking about stopping players from “heading” the ball. It would change the game, sure, but it would also stop ex-players from early senility, which seems to happen too often.
Now apply that same logic to cage fighting… There’s not much left of it is there?
There’s not much left of it is there?
Same can be said about boxing.
Look... this isn't really about the activity itself. It's really about the propaganda surrounding it. For comparison, think about how the Apartheid-regime used rugby to promote white supremacism and weaponised masculinity.
UFC was never a proper tournament (fighters are chosen by admin not by a regimented competition scheme) but now that it lives under the WWE umbrella everyone should receive it as a spectacle and not a sport anyway.
It's a shame because I absolutely love MMA but hate UFC. Unfortunately they have the best talent and I feel torn on it. Lately I've been keeping up with the regional scene more than UFC. At least I can afford the front row seats at these events.
This community is for tracking the victims of ICE and other fascist organizations disappearing people into concentration camps.
