their both gay to watch if your a man and not an athlete actually playing it.... bunch of guys in tights running up and down the field just seems wrong if you are sitting in a stadium watching them.its just my opinion from playing sports as a kid and young adult i never liked watching any sport unless i was a part of it, 😉

i do all the time. i go to socialize and pick up girls and hang out with friends or gamble/play cards. dont worry about my safety in my home town i go to redneck bars where we are allowed to fight in an alley, i happen to get along with the redneck/bikers thx to my tats and charming personality and military background.

Because reading comics, filled with guys running around in their tights, is so much "less gay" than watching football.

Ugh, wrestling. Tight spandex and guys mounting each other. Not gay?Boxing, cool.
its about the physical strength aspect and being overall fit and exceeding your average athletes physical abilities.. american wrestling is far more physically demanding in training and overall strength then football or baseball will ever be.
also when you win or lose you have no one to blame but yourself.
Originally posted by Enyalusactually most fights end up on the ground within the first few seconds, real wrestling submission holds and arm bars breaks can be applied in a real situation and modified to break and maim some one. if it wasnt so important the military wouldnt show and train their personal in variant grappling holds.. the training involved would show a real wrestler to be physically imposing to your average person.
I get that. It still looks gay as hell, and doesn't help you in an actual street fight.My sister was wrestling team manager in high school, lol.
The winner is obvious, way too many advantages, especially now.
Originally posted by Wild ShadowMeh, that was started by the quotes from police officers having to arrest their oppnents by grounding them. It really depends, and honestly the person who is knocked on the ground first loses. Ground stuff is great to learn, but you don't want to use it often realistically, cold be jumped, the person could have a weapon, falling on cement, etc. It lowers your danger awareness.

I've been a corrections officer for almost 3 years now, and I've been in more than my share of fights in work and in my personal life. It is very helpful to be able to grapple in a restraint, obviously. It can also be extremely detrimental in a chaotic environment. You can't see what's going on around you when you're rolling around on the ground. I've been field-goal style kicked in the junk while holding a guy down, and it was not fun. Not at all.
The average street-fight usually ends with whoever lands the first good shot, at least in my experience. It's safer to kick someone in the head as opposed to trying to wrestle with them on the ground. Still, it's good to know how to defend yourself just in case you are put in that position.
Oh, Spider-Man stomps. 😱
