other the barbaric nonsense, I have no input. this applies to all sports when watching them as 'entertainment'
participating in sports is a different thing altogether.
I don't really get what you mean.
watching sports and cheering for 'sides' is barbaric and not worth the time. the countless riots over winning, or losing also backs up my claims
Oh I see, I disagree heavily but definitely understand why you feel that way and respect it. MMA has never caused a riot. In regards to sides, its not like that in MMA. Individual people get rooted for. By example, I loved to cheer for Dustin Porier because he has a great personality, does a fuck load of charity and was always in great fights. On the other hand I like cheering against guys like Jon Jones because hes a genuinely bad person, seeing him get beat down is great, unfortunately that happens rarely.
I played football with my friends growing up so I used to appreciate watching it a bit. Football used to be daring, sometimes amazing, now it's like plays are decided by algorithm, boring. But ultimately, I'm just not interested in seeing other men fight.
I love kayaking, learn some things watching others do it on video, no care to see kayak competitions.
