Re: Ultimate fights expand to include kids

MMA should not be promoted to children.
I think that ameture boxing, wrestling, judo is fine to promote to children, but I think MMA is far too violent to be pushed upon children. Not to mention the trashy culture that goes along with MMA: tattoos, wild-party mentality (drinking/recreational drug culture), promotions to/and glamorization of pornography (Tito Ortez's obviously staged "relationship" to porn-whore Jenna is the prime example of this, but there are others), advocation of steroids (MMA has done more to promote steroid abuse to youngster than any other sport today--can we even see a MMA event today on the tube that doesn't sport a bunch of juiced out retards?), and the list can continue and does continue. I don't want a society of children looking up to these punks, who have the wrong idea of what it means to be a man.

Children need to be taught that a real man marries a woman, stays devoted to his wife, takes care of his family, and studies to improve himself. Real men don't need recreational drugs to have a good time. They don't need anabolic steroids to get the job done.

People forget that MMA is simply the attempt to make one-on-one street fighting into a sport. It fails because there are no rules, judges, padded floors, and refs. There is no surety that multiple people will not enter into the equation; no certainty that a plethora of weapons will not enter the theatre; and no guarentee you won't go to jail, prison, or the grave when it is all said and done. Another aspect that MMA fails to produce that a real street fight often provides is the element of actual anger and/or wrath. Someone untrained, yet enraged and fighting for a cause he believes in, can be near impossible to stop, even for an expert fighter. Those who have been in some real vicious fights don't look at fighting as a joke; they look at MMA as a joke when compared to an actual fight.
