Boxing and wrestling are perhaps the oldest sports known to man. Gladiators fighting to the death, feeding defenseless people to lions, such horrendous things once drew capacity crowds to the Colosseum in Rome. At least these hideous displays of violence were real. Violence destroys society, rips apart the very fabric of human life. Police officers risk their lives by the thousands every day to try and keep our nation's neighborhoods safe to live in.
Social workers write tedious books about the horrible effects of urban violence.
Politicians squander billions of dollars on social programs aimed at lowering the level of violence in society. There is nothing healthy about jumping on another person's head, nothing redeeming in two people kicking one another in the throat, gut, groin, and face. If such things were actually happening on a street corner somewhere, both of them would be arrested. This kind of wrestling may be fake, it may be for entertainment only, and no one might get hurt, but it still is a waste if people's time, money, and mental abilities. The time spent loudly cheering at the smoke screens and charlatanism that passes itself off as wrestling could be used in a billion better ways.
