“I really don’t see the big deal, it gives kids an outlet in the cities. Honestly, what is wrong with this?”
Kind of a violent outlet dontcha think? or did you forget the sarcasm tag? ...............I thought we were all supposed to be jumping on the anti bullying bandwagon.
People have been complaining for years about the wussification of boys, now they are fighting in a sport that is safer than boxing, football, hocky and even soccer, and people are complain that it's too "violent". Can't make some people happy I guess.
Junior league football? Basketball? All sports are violent to some extreme, I’m sure most of these children are being taught discipline while doing this. You don’t get good at MMA at any age without discipline. It’s also contained.
As long as they are being taught good values, which it seems they are (exercise, sportsmanship, healthy competition, discipline, fighting skills) I really don’t see “satan” being behind this.
