Sport? I call this murder

It is a bit strange when the CPS prosecuted 2 blokes for hurting each other in a consentual S&M game, yet you can legally punch someone to death in the ring

 

I must admit that for the most part, I see no problem in combat sports, where all participants are their by choice and following rules. I used to enjoy various martial arts myself when I was a kid and teenager.

Boxing, along with this new phenomenon of 'cage fighting' are different though. I don't like them. Its one thing to have a karate match where a judge awards a half point for a skilled strike that wouldn't have immobilised the opponent but that still got through, and a full point for a strike that would have dealt a serious blow had the fight been for real (most matches when I did it were semi-contact, ie you still do the actual strike, but snatch your fist or foot back as soon as light contact is made, rather than following through and smashing your opponent), and its something else entirely to actually try to bust your opponent up for real.

 

Cant see a problem with boxing, both are there usually to make a bit of cash or boost their ego.
Both can walk away before and get a job scrubbing floors if they want.

Now dont get me started on the Grand National, either, that is something totally different.

 

What seems to make all the difference is when big money becomes involved. Boxing, bullfighting, dogfights, etc....respect for human or animal life goes right out of the window if enough cash is generated
