The USA wasn't intended for black people period. Slavery was literally a part of its economic endeavors and why it wasn't outlawed. Does this mean I, as a black person, should leave? No. Just because the second amendment wasn't made for black people in mind does not mean that I do not deserve to wield it as a right.

Yes and

There's less concussions than boxing or football because there's a reason to hit things that aren't the head and refs will stop poo poo the instant someone looks like they got their bell rung, as opposed to boxing where you get duffed a few more times

Also you're basically never going to eliminate people wanting to see who would win in a fight

Either in terms of the fighters or actusl spectators

And short of living in the pure Star trek utopia someone is always going to find a way to make money off of it

Basically trying to shame it out of existence isn't going to work so you can make it safer or else make it so dudes don't see getting punched as a viable life plan for lack of alternatives but those are your options

Also calling it blood sport when UFC is incredibly quick to stop poo poo if someone's hurt or looks unable to fight is pretty stupid! I don't know about other promotions but every time I've watched ufc and it hasn't ended in a submission or gone to time 99% of the time the ref was like whoa whoa no that dude got his loving head knocked off stop this immediately

Again

As opposed to boxing where you literally get a chance to stand back up and have it happen again and again and again

You dont need to be hit in the head or draw blood to suffer repeated concussions.

I mean suffering trauma to the head is generally how you suffer trauma to the brain but I was also speaking generally

Mma has come a long way from the days when you could just knee a guy in the face until he was mostly mush and the ref couldn't stop you because there was nothing in the rules allowing for ref stoppages

That poo poo was actually blood sport and it's good that it's not allowed anymore

Prison inmates in South Carolina received arrest warrants and summonses for a sextortion scam involving catfishing of hundreds of military service members, a Naval Criminal Investigative Service report revealed Wednesday.

With help from outside accomplices, inmates used cellphones to seek out service members on dating sites and social media, then developed romantic relationships with them behind a fake female identity. Ultimately, inmates would blackmail service members for money, the NCIS report said.
