Sportsmanship within blood sport is still appreciated. If one fighter taps out and the other guy demonstrates his brutality by breaking the arm anyhow, does he get respect or contempt?
If that's your thrust, then why not wrestling?...remember that sport? It doesn't require drawing blood, does it? Your defense is nothing more than a fig leaf on your testosterone. You're trying to rationalize brutality. We should seek to be better than that. Brutality is, by my view, even lower than the animal kingdom. They don't kill for pleasure; they kill for necessity.
