is a compliment.

I figure the longer Trump is in the WH, the more likely we will start having “death matches.” It’s the logical extension.

There is a big segment of America that loves punishing people, & the more humiliating, the better. It feeds their moral superiority complex. The white supremacists & evangelicals come to mind. It's sickening, & that I know some of them is sad & disturbing. I just want to scream at them, "What the fuck happened to you?"

"The Running Man," both the book & the original movie, used convicts as game show bait. It's one of the few times I thought the movie was better than the book, cuz it captured the game show feel & shallowness of America better, & frankly, I like Arnold in roles like that. Also, Richard Dawson as Killian, the game show host, was perfect casting. I see there was a new Running Man movie last year.

We've lost so much, so fast, it's staggering.

So MMA was interesting to me, but not this UFC product anymore, it's not much different than Pro Wrestling. It's all hype and they have such a captive audience that they can sell any fight as being this great match when it's really just a washed up bum on one side and an overrated young fighter on the other. And it's getting bloodier and bloodier as the stand up game has taken over.

It's one man's production, Dana White, and he controls everything and everyone. I think it's gotten away from good competition and is now a freak show.

...at least it has gloves, and in the ideal settings, protective headgear.

UFC just looks like drunk people brawling on spring break.

There's a strategy to boxing that is just fascinating and the implementation of strategies over 12 rounds can be beautiful to watch. They can spend rounds setting traps.

MMA is more unpredictable as it's more of a brawl and guys can wing a lucky shot. Some nights a guy just is off and gets beat, other nights he comes in out of shape and gets beat or overtrained.

But MMA went full MAGA and it's so political now. All these meatheads want to make political statements.

Just more breads and circuses for the authoritarian coded mob.

The snobbery and elitism are getting awful thick in here.

It’s crazy to me that DU labels a sport now Republican because the president hosted it. Just a really weird mindset. If he hosted a different sport in the future do we label all of those that watch it Republicans also. Everything this man touches per DU taints everyone and every class that ever enjoyed it. He controls too much in your heads.
