Prostitute Gladiators, getting paid King’s Ransoms for performing a child’s game.
What an utter waste of resources
“...getting paid King’s Ransoms for performing a child’s game.”
Please name me the game where you go out and throw yourself at someone with intent upon knocking them down or out for money. That’s called mugging. Too many of these animal couldn’t survive in the real world. And if you have been able in your life to get on a field when the line play is going on, especially college or pro, you’d get the idea that these are subhumans of almost incredible ferociousness and size/strength who are dangerous. They feel no pain after the lidocaine injections, and/or uppers and downers they use, and they do not cut back. I have called in college and have talked with pro referees that are friends and been invited to the games on the surface. It’s like colliding freight trains. And the bigger the hitter, the bigger the reward.
And they all retire crippled. Look up Jim Otto. I have a friend named Otis Systrunk and he can barely walk. Good man, but that child’s game took his body. Too much emphasis on hitting and not enough on execution.
