We’re trying to.
Why are you pinging me? I never commented in that post nor am interested in boxing or any other sport these days.
I don't see anyone forbidding women from engaging in this "sport." All I've seen are a few folks condemning it as barbaric and degenerate.
My sports watching on TV is the Indianapolis 500 and the occassional Chicago Bears football game. ESPN on my directv is deleted, although I’ve kept the NFL Game Day on 212 activated for weekend football scores.
Unless you were being facetious, I guess you have never a seen a Women’s MMA match.
The Olympics, Summer and Winter, are evolving. So what?
Sports are now just another way to push the politically correct.
Sports are part of the entertainment business. Unless you put the fannies in the seats, you don't survive. What happens between the lines has more to do with skill and ability than politics. It is what makes sports attractive. The only exception is sports that require subjective judging.
Basketball is now freaks tattooed from head to foot giving gang signs
LOL. The skill levels of the players are far superior today than they were in the past.
Football now puts the defensive back in a straight jacket as far as what they are allowed to do in order to have the fans see more touchdowns.
As I said, sports are part of the entertainment business. You give the fans (customers) what they want.
ESPN gave its COURAGE award to Bruce Jenner for not knowing if he is a man or a woman.
I could care less what ESPN does in that regard. Just give me good programming. Don't watch the ESPY awards.
Sports Illustrated ran an article excoriating a football quarterback for saying he liked Donald Trump.
So what. SI is not the place I go to get opinions on politics and public policy. Don't buy the magazine if you don't like it.
Soros uses so called sports to promote the pc homosexuality, womens rights, belligerent blacks, hatred of whites, elimination of past history, drugs, drugs, drugs.
Soros? What are you smoking?
Women brutalizing each other fits right in.
These women are being paid well. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Who the Hell put you in charge of what people should watch or don't watch. You sound like a typical liberal.
We will agree to disagree. He had his flaws but he was a true patriot who put his life on the line for this country for many, many years. I respect that.
You are uniformed about "MacArthur's time." Army football began in 1890. MacArthur entered West Point on 13 June 1899. He played left field for the baseball team. President of the United States and General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower and General of the Army Omar Bradley were on the 1912 Army football team.
If football was considered so "barbaric" why did the academies play football nine years before MacArthur even entered West Point?
Post-modern culture has conflated "games" with "sports."
What is the point you are trying to make?
Are you speaking for MarvinStimson?
That’s OK. It’s just that my opinion of him changed after I had to do a paper on the “Bonus Army” incident.
The Olympics, Summer and Winter, are evolving. So what?
...........................................................
That’s a favorite Soros/Obama word.
Yes, men are evolving into women.
Women are evolving into men.
Womens rights have evolved into the killing and vivisection of little babies.
The US has evolved into a pigsty of homosexuality, illegal aliens, Kill the Police, spit at and destroy the US military, alienate longtime US allies, embrace rabid enemies of the US, destroy the US economy,
and Demonize anyone who doesnt like it.
Thank god our culture has progressed so much since then!
This isn’t boxing. It is street fighting.
Exactly.
I’m not speaking for anyone. I’m just reporting what I’ve observed. Nobody is saying women fighting should be banned. They’re just accusing it of pandering to the lowest values in entertainment, and bespeaking a decline in our culture.
Never had much understanding of history -- or listened to the 100 greatest American Speeches, either -- right...?
Newbie, you sound like you are off your meds.
I don’t think it is entertaining to watch men fight either.
Nonsense. The first game of American football is widely cited as a game played on November 6, 1869, between two college teams, Rutgers and Princeton. Ever hear of Walter Camp.
A 1905 peak of 19 fatalities nationwide resulted in a threat by President Theodore Roosevelt to abolish the game unless major changes were made.
Football was widely popular before Roosevelt became President. And it is the most popular sport in America today. The Left is trying to destroy American football. No doubt about that. Too violent. Young men need to be feminized and neutered.
And they are wrong.
