re: #166 itellu3times

I can barely watch either football or boxing anymore, just seem barbaric.

OTOH, Dodget pitcher had a come-backer bounce off his skull the other day, though he seems to have come through OK that’s very very close to the bad thing.

I’m not sure sport should be seen as barbaric, I do think it is an aspect of human nature though and won’t be sublimated any sooner than any other animal contesting for breeding rights. I’m thinking Wilt Chamberlain here - lol

And once you distill it out, I find boxing very compelling - the ultimate sport, one on one, knock the other guys ass out. Football is close, but the violent essence that is the attraction is often lost in the intricacy of the plays and the need for cooperation.

But that is just way too much thinking about it. Go Cowboys!
