Good. I don't understand how anyone working in any medical capacity can support this brutal sport. Laffy Kat Sep 2018 #2

I never understood the attraction of a sport where part of the goal is to injure the opponent. Lots of people (including Muhammad Ali) have suffered brain damage from this sport.

The worst thing is that damned bare knuckle fighting I come across occasionally, usually called MMA. It even shows up on my iPhone news feed, and every time I see it I ask that it be blocked as offensive content.
