    I don't think people who haven't spent a lot of time around rich people realize how true this is, or how they view poor people like us as literal ants that they have fun burning with magnifying glasses. Remember, folks, gladiators were real, and if the rich were legally allowed to force us fight to the death for their entertainment, they would!

      They do. MMA doesn't actually end in death but every time you get hit in the head, especially if you get knocked out, you're accruing permanent brain damage.

      The NFL is riddled with people suffering TBI.

      Nevermind boxing.
