Mike Tyson, legendary respecter of women, has entered the conversation.

She brutalized the other woman. It wasn’t just a beatdown, it was an assault. I’ve refereed TKD matches before and I would be very uncomfortable if I saw that. She had no skill-it was just brute force. Where’s the sportsmanship in that? The ability? I could easily beat an untrained person in a TKD match relying on force, but it wouldn’t mean much. I want a challenge, as do probably 90% of people who partake in combat sports-what was she thinking? Where’s the challenge? It would be like you slapping around a six year old than strutting like you beat Oleksandr Usyk. Mad love for you bro, but I don’t understand this one on many levels.

Grim humor is always the best way to deal with things like this

Again though, even wrestling one WWE dark match at 4 PM on a Wednesday card means you are an outstanding wrestler.

I completely agree with you. Zbyszko was one of the best.

Speaking of wrestling… Remember this guy @Ironhold? He wasn’t the best wrestler, but just making it to the WWE means you are better than 99.9% of wrestlers out there.

Let’s enter an alternative universe. @mirkwood has to talk about Kiss. I have to talk about Rush. @NeuroTypical has to talk about…uh…sorry bud, what’s the opposite of a Brony?

You’d be amazed how many catholics are pro choice. Having grown up in Catholic schools (ironically my HS was one of the “orthodox” ones) I’d say 70% of the teachers were pro choice or agnostic on the issue. And priests seldom talked about it from the pulpit

I started reading Nat Hentoff a lot lately. He makes excellent points on abortion. If you care about life enough to be anti war and being anti death penalty, you have to start asking yourself tough questions about abortion. And he was an atheist, anti gun, anti death penalty pro gay marriage leftist.

One of the best.

Others have said, there’s no perfect answer. One reason I like the LDS church is it tries to right these wrongs. If my home teachers knew I was slapping around my kids or starving them to death, 99% would immediately call the cops.

Thanks bud, appreciate the kind words towards them. Sorry if I came across as a jerk.

A+ song.

He absolutely deserves that honor.

Glorified stunt man. He doesn’t know a wrist lock from a wrist watch.

The hip, cool-wrestling-jive name is giving your opponent the crimson mask. Dusty and Flair perfected it, but they perfected everything. I loved watching those guys. And that kid in the mass transit incident was an idiot. What they don’t tell you is that he was vastly undertrained, puffed himself up, and acted like a total jerk in the locker room. Drinking the vets coffee, sitting with the main event guys…

If only someone here was a cop to give his perspective. @pam? @Vort? @The Folk Prophet? @Just_A_Guy? Hmmm….

I advise you not to. It’s not a pleasant viewing experience. I highly doubt Sean Greyson has a conscience (and I don’t have much of one either) but watching the video stuck with me. I can’t imagine being there.

A lot of police officers are deeply disturbed by this as well.

Have to listen to @mirkwood talk about Rush for six hours. Earplugs not allowed.

@Suzie- I’ve also said this before, but it needs to be said again. TH is filled with wonderful people of all political stripes, and I’m sure that most of the conservatives here disagree strongly with Trumps personal life. LDS have this thing called “morality” that Trump lacks. Sadly, I DO see some Trumpers that simply don’t care about his sexual assaults, his bullying, and his disgusting personal conduct-but they aren’t here.

Even small government conservatives wouldn’t be thrilled with allowing a homeschooled child to be abused. If they are cool with that or think the kid should be abused and starved that’s not conservative, that’s disgusting.

I feel really bad for the Christian athletes who worked 90 hours a week for 15 years to get to this point. They’ll be bashed for not dropping out, their Christianity will be called into question, and perhaps most sad-they may not have fans there to support them. If that happens, it’ll be a heartbreakingly sad display by “fans” who leave their fellow Christians behind.

The FB page “Conservative Women Rock” has gotten into some “trouble” for suggesting people boycott the Olympics. I was dead wrong. I thought conservatives would be 100% into boycotting the Olympics, but the admin is getting a ton of flack for her stance. I’m sorry-once again, I was way off base.

True, but I’m guessing there’s a LOT more conservatives talking about it than those on my FB.
