If a blood sport became legal, would you have anything to do with it?

I most definitely would watch it. I still think they should do this with life/death row inmates instead of having us taxpayers pay for their existence.

Something about watching people dies seems wrong, but they could sure as hell do something to make sports more entertaining... Like Nascar, make the track a figure 8 with a jump over the other track.

Battle Royale? Yesh please! And I wouldn't mind seeing some blood sport, if not to gamble too.

That'd be pretty fun, an Unreal Tournament type game would be brilliant. Have the contestants act out the Battle of Stalingrad with exploding spatula launchers, ridable missiles and homing pigeons.

If I was on death row, I'd be pretty stoked about being able to kill bitches on TV with impunity. And as a civilian, I'd be fine with people who are going to die anyway being given the opportunity to go out with some style.

But I probably wouldn't watch it.

Sure as long as it wasen't somthing cruel like dogfighting. I seriously don't mind human gladiators fighting each other.

Mixed Martial Arts is already legal though.

Just kidding (I love MMA), but I would avoid it as best I could.

Depends on the people killing eachother, if they're mass murderers and are proven to be so and it's only life time sentanced murderers killing each other then I might watch it. As long as no one innocent is thrown into these things because of the lack of contestants.

Well, I'd certainly participate it, if only to become less violent and rage-filled afterward.

Of course, only if they used the dregs of society - criminals, bums, the homeless and such. Perhaps volunteers, compensating their families in the event of an untimely death, of course.

It would be amusing to see at least some of the humans that deserve to die come to an end, so yeah, bring in the blood sports!

Unfortunately, the ones who would most deserve it would be the some greedy bastards that get the sport televised the first place, and they would *never* be sent to the games, thus true justice would once again be denied.

Oh, well, at least there are global epidemics to looks for.

You mean a modern day version of the Arena in Ancient Rome? Basically the same but with HD cameras and action replays? Fight's to the death with internet polls on who should have mercy or not? Financed by an eccentric billionaire with a $2 million reward for winning a match? Hosted in International Waters?

Fuck yes Please
This: I would watch. O.O

EDIT: And hurrah for this beeing my 200th post on the escapist.

No, i dont think i would, its a little bit barbaric isnt it, even the roman gladiators rarely fought to the death (its a common misconception, gladiators were far to expencive, if anyojne died it would be criminals, and they were basically stage excecutions)

Its more interesting then modern sports so hell yeah.
Seconded. Modern sports are simply too dull to watch, due to the fact that they don't contain enough premeditated violence.
This scares me... Is the spirit of competition or the pitting of wits not enough?!?!

That said, I'd probably watch. Occasionally hiding behind a pillow.

I'm sure some prison inmates would probably take this offer if it meant some sort of benefit; a bigger cell, TV etc. Certainly not a shorter sentence; letting the most successfully violent people out?? Hell no!!

Or maybe people on death row having their death sentence postponed until they lose...

AND I would definately watch if they got the Unreal Tournament 2003 announcer.

FIRST BLOOD!
DOUBLE KILL!
MMMULTI-KILL!
etc until...

...HHHHHHHHOLY SH*T!

You know what would be awesome? Have people who are on death row fighting gladiator style battles in an arena. I mean those people are going to be put to death anyway, so what's the harm?

I already don't watch reality TV. I don't think making reality TV even more offensive is going to change my mind.

No i would not, im against real violence. If the competitors are consensual then it would minor my dissagreement but not even then i would watch or participate in that.
