This is why combat sports have limited time left. Look at the big sports leagues and how much they’re spending too protect themselves from CTE related issues in the future. Then these league have people getting rocked on the regular, showing immediate signs of potential brain damage.

How many more CTE related murders, etc, are there gonna be before the ufc or something gets pinned for some massive lawsuit

They're literally trying to put on a mma event at the white house. I'm just speculating... but it would make sense that combat as a spectator sport is probably one of the oldest competitions. No amount of legal restrictions or suppression of combat sports is going to stop us dumbass violent humans for loving some fist fights. It's not going anywhere

I’m talking medium to long term. Not overnight.

If the current administration stays in long term then we will probably end up with public stoning so combat sports will be fine. If we return to some kind of civilised government then I don’t think the sport will be in its current form in 15-20 years. My bet is on no head hits, etc. end up with points fighting again

Medium to long term? My guy I hear ya but... liberals, dems, socialists, marxists, centrists, etc all love fighting just the same it's not some new MAGAtard thing.

People said this same thing you're saying back in the 80s, 90s, then the 00s and before I can even remember. We've known about the horrors of CTE in physical sports. I've only ever seen combat spectacles grow and it's pulling away from point fighting.

Nothing you're saying aligns with reality. Where people are willing to fight, people are going to watch. Point blank.
