What's so funny is Ireland just got sick of a loud mouth bragging douche

Conor brought it on himself

Funny, Brolly is mostly correct. I don't know about the banning and protecting humans from themselves and the appeals to emotion about family , but everything else is spot on.

“If an American hedge fund started ‘Ultimate Combat’ where the fighters use weapons and the battle is to the death, we’d have a queue of men wanting to sign up. It’s already been done, in Ancient Rome. The new sport would sweep the planet. We’d all be glued to our screens. PPVs would break all records. Young men would die. But, hey, it’s their tragedy if they find themselves articulate in such a dangerous language.”

Brolly added that people in combat sports needed to be stopped for their own good. The acceptance of risk to die in the fight was inhumane; and thus people needed to be awakened by what they had accepted as norms.

“The truth is that violent sports are a rich man’s play thing, where poor men try to put each other into a coma for our amusement,” Brolly added. “These violent life-an-death sports are fun. They bring us to somewhere primitive inside us. It is why the spectators in the Colosseum gasped and cheered as the knife was thrust home.

Fuck this anti-American fake flopping dipshit. Equating boxing and MMA to fucking slaves fighting trained killers for their freedom. Fuck outta here.

^I heard people didn't actually die in the coliseum, or at least it was not always to the death. Anyone enlighten me?

 

[Darwinambrosius]

so by "Irish" they mean one guy? I'm not reading the article but that's what I've gathered.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

never heard of the guy, but he sounds like a total cockbreath

True.
Irrelevant to the actual, intelligent discussion as it's a ridiculous comparison, but true.

“Something deep in us thrills to serious violence,” wrote Brolly. “Up to the end of the 19th century, public executions were the premier spectator sport in England. When Henry Fauntleroy was hanged a Newgate in 1824, the crowd was estimated at 100,000. If a smart promoter like Barry Hearn had been alive then, he’d have hired Michael Buffer to say, “Let’s get ready to haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang…” and get a half-naked dolly bird to hold up notices between executions....

“The truth is that violent sports are a rich man’s play thing, where poor men try to put each other into a coma for our amusement,” Brolly added. “These violent life-an-death sports are fun. They bring us to somewhere primitive inside us. It is why the spectators in the Colosseum gasped and cheered as the knife was thrust home.

Not bad.

The guy does realize that the fighter died 2 days later right? Acting as if McGregor was beating his chest over a dead body

 

[kammfreudenstei]

True.

Correct. These are not slaves, these are paid volunteers (yaknowwhatamean)

yeah its like he thinks MMA fans or combat sport fans in general are celebrating the fact that Joao died? the guy has issues

Joe Brolly is a tool. He was decent for a little while in a domestic sport in Ireland. He has been a panelist on live coverage of this sport and in recent years has tried to be controversial. He overreacts a lot of the time. On one occasion a player from a rival team committed a foul on purpose to try and stop the other guy from getting through on goal and possibly scoring. Joe was moaning like a bitch and crying out "he's not a man!".

He is a twat

Roman history is one of my favorite time periods. You are correct in the statement that death in the arena between two gladiators was fairly rare. Generally speaking they spent a lot of time, effort and currency bringing these fighters up and if one were to be executed by the others gladiator the executioners master generally had to pay expenses to cover the others loss. On another side note I've always found it interesting how gladiators are portrayed. They weren't the muscled up warriors you would expect but generally fairly overweight as the extra fat acted as an armor to reduce fatal blows.

If we are saving people from themselves, should we ban NASCAR too?

 

[RockyLockridge]

looked for the writer, it was a woman.

Don't care.

“Is it good enough that a young man be beaten to death in a cage for our amusement?"

Expect that's not what happened, 2 people agreed to fight and one of them unfortunately died. Should we ban everything that kills people? how about hockey games?

 

[BiC Fist]

Hundreds, if not thousands of people have died as the result of boxing injuries. Keep that going, but ban MMA. Sounds good.

The UFC can make due with one less venue, I'm sure.

Interesting. Makes sense if they were armored kind of, as the extra strength to bash n slash mattered, you'd think the small quick ones would be able to better slice that big belly open yeah?

Edit: me too dude, GRECO-ROMAN history has a certain appeal, a certain old world fantasy feel
