Aren’t all sports fundamentally a preparation for war?

Perhaps they are... I never said that this was necessarily a bad thing. After all... peace does not work on fascists nor their liberal handlers.

and it probably should be banned on medical grounds, too.

If we're going to do that boxing, rugby and american football should be up for the chop, too - even professional wrestling. You do understand what the term "punch drunk" means, right?
