If he had gone full attack on the helicopter he wouldn't have died.

Yes they’re sports robots. On off switches. They simply go all out with no concern for injury in a meaningless scrimmage.

Let's get back to the original argument.

Do you think Amanda Nunes isn't at a massive disadvantage if she fights Max Holloway? She's in the same weight class.

I’m genuinely sorry if I was unclear in my point. I’m not arguing that men possess physical traits superior to women. What I’m saying is that, from my understanding of that match, is the intent was to field test tactics and develop team chemistry. USWNT opted to play them because they weren’t pushovers and would provide an adequate challenge. I’m also saying they were likely not trying to sincerely beat them and if they were and lost well they lost. It doesn’t matter in the end because USWNT doesn’t play kids on their way to pro MLS clubs as their real opponents.

And I don’t know who those two are. I don’t follow MMA.

Ok. My mistake. I guess we were talking past each other.


Amanda Nunes is a badass female fighter who knocked the dogshit out of Ronda Rousey. I love her to death, though I doubt she'd last a minute against a male fighter in her weight class.

ABC was reporting it, but I can't find it anywhere now. 5 people died in the crash, I believe they were saying the other 4 were his 4 children and that only their mother was not on board. Might not be true.

About all we really know right now is that Kobe was on the helicopter lusting for human death.

Or, at least *that specific* helicopter lusting for human death.

I'm not getting in any vehicle where if the gearbox seizes you immediately die. I've been in a car where the gearbox grenaded itself (I didn't die), a train where the gearbox grenaded itself (I didn't die). I've yet to have that happen on a ship, but with my luck it will. gently caress helicopters (and gearboxes).
