I like it.
Awww, come on!
I suppose eye gouging is "forbidden" too.
Take away all the fun...
Blah... more trash tv.
How long before they start getting swords and tridents? Maybe have a few “spectacles,” like men fighting wild animals? And the audience could participate by indicating with some gesture whether the contestants — let’s call them “gladiators” — fought bravely enough.
It’s an idea fit for the times and the state of civilization.
anything to make a buck.. how soon before grannies form their own team? to supplement their income.. of course.
no one willlingly would want to bash someone’s head in for fun, would they?
“The National Pastime” by Norman Spinrad
People really watch this kind of stuff?
It seems like the male equivalent of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the only other show I can think of where they have groups of people that (cat) fight each other.
I think the last fight I watched had Muhammed Ali in it and I was still in college. I graduated in May of 1980.
Watching folks beat the crap out of each other, no thanks.
The team fighting concept is good back in the IFL days. That's where teams of fighters from camps have one on one MMA matches.
