Currently on , at 8.33 pm Central Time, there is some kind of "entertainment" going on on TNT, I believe.
Just saw one guy have another guy on the ground, stomp one of his ankles, and then the other.
This is the type of fight entertainment that is really ruining the fabric of today's people.
In boxing, you've got a referee. If a boxer goes down on one knee, the referee steps in and the boxer goes to a neutral corner. Indeed, it used to be the referee would never have to step in - the boxer knew. Man down, go to a neutral corner. No hitting below the belt, no hitting a man when he was down, etc. Of course, now the referee has to step in and sometimes phyically hold back the boxer from continuing to wale on a downed oppoent.
But that's nothing compared with this WWE wrestling, where the wrestlers are such poseurs, not to mention bad actors. You've got the drama, with one wrestler vowing vengeance against another and attacking him in the stands, or climbing into the rign and attacking him during a different bout entirely.
You've got folks who hit people in the back with chairs, beat on them when their down, etc - something that at one point was never done. An opponent falls...you wait til he gets up before attacking again.
Nowadays, you attack him when he's at his weakest and you're cheered on for doing so.
These wrestling matches usually fill up the arenas in which they're held, they're very popular, and its just one more reason why, these days, a person's first response to something that might (or might not, admittedly) be innocuous, is to respond with violence.
