I heard a mention of #ConorMcGregor, so I went to read a bit about him, and watched a few minutes of a couple #UFC fights — including that knockout 13 seconds into the match.
Change my mind: if you enjoy watching #MMA, there's something wrong with you.
It is brutal. Am I too sensitive?
@tripu I would not say too sensitive, but not precise enough.
"something wrong with you" is a pretty broad term. I find it problematic to value brutal fights, even if they are fought by rules. But the way you say it, i could agree or disagree depending on the interpretation.
I think paying or encouraging someone to do things that cause severe injury should be a crime. This shit and boxing and American football should not exist.
@Pat @tripu This is a definitive improvement, it specifies that
1) commerce or peer pressure being involved is a problem
2) "things that cause severe injury" are relevant here, i.e. effective safety equipment or practices matter
Not sure if that's an exhaustive list of what is wrong with this, but i do fully agree on both points.
