Beneath the spectacle of fighters beating each other bloody on the White House South Lawn, fight promoters, tech billionaires, and the Saudi government are working to concentrate wealth and power in fewer, richer hands.

They did not say "requires violence" - they said "glorifies violence." All the sports I mentionded can easily be accused of that.

I disagree, dodging is a massive of part of boxing no doubt but the game is boxing and the goal is knockout.

Rugby has hits and tackles but they are not particularly violent or vicious, though there are obviously outliers. That said a great game of rugby could be played without any major hits. The game used the prioritise agility and speed and while it still does the game syle has switched to bigger players making big hits. A team of ultra fast strong agile players could make a serious go against a team of heavy hitters.

You're absolutely correct - there's absolutely nothing violent about punching somebody in the face in any way whatsoever.

Clyde, listen to me very carefully... you're talking to someone who grew up in a fascist country obsessed with rugby. They didn't fetishise it because it promotes peace - get it?

You completely missed the point because you wanted to be snide.

No. I think you are the one that missed the point - right from the outset.
