The legislative prohibition must be “final” fight
The legislature is considering a ban on “no rules” or “X-treme” or “Ultimate” to fight. It is a good idea. It is a barbaric practice, which does not deserve the label of sport.
Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., Governor Cayetano wrote to ask its support for legislative efforts to prohibit that “this terrible blood sport.”
McCain pointed out that 45 states already prohibit “no rules” answered. Last month, New York, George Pataki Dir signed a ban in his country, require such events “Man of Neanderthal blood sport.”
McCain said the institution of legal research, the State which are not monitored safety for the protection of competitors. There is a total ban, New York, tried to introduce safety rules, “Ultimate” fight promoters of the event drew their Alabama. Now, Alabama is in proximity with the introduction of its own ban.
Star-Bulletin columnist Pat Bigold reports that participants in such a contest, testified against a ban on foot was photographed on the back of the head of his opponent in a game of the Blaisdell Arena, while the referee was not try to stop it. In “Ultimate” to combat, wrote Bigold, combatants are allowed to come into contact pummel, elbows, knees, thrushes or head-butt their opponents in style. ”
Ina Percival by the National Commission for Women’s Rights, said that these events serve only to attract children and adults on the real horrors of violence. ”
John McCain is a former Navy pilot, was killed on North Vietnam and spent six years as a prisoner of war, torture and deprivation persists. He knows something about violence and the difference between brutality and sports. “Ultimate” brutally beaten is not true sport. It has no place in civilized society.
