Quote of the Day – The Guardian
By Zach Arnold | December 9, 2007
A columnist in The Guardian tries to connect US President George W. Bush, MMA’s increasing popularity in America, and a lack of safety in American football together in one paragraph:
But President Bush, who has continually spurned soft power in diplomacy, seems unlikely to reprise the role Roosevelt took a century ago. Worse still, we are in a period in which America’s tastes in sports have taken a gladiatorial turn. Ultimate fighting, the mixed-martial-arts sport in which a competitor, as in a bar fight, is allowed to hit or kick an opponent when the opponent is on the ground, has gone from the shadows to mainstream television success. Sadly, changing the nature of football equipment so as to produce a sport with less risk of injury may have to wait for the next election and a change in the national mood.

Wow. As someone who just finished his senior thesis, I’ve had to look at a bunch of different topics and relate them to one subject. But this guy’s attempt doesn’t make much sense.
Should I bitch about the mistake about kicking a downed opponent, when I think the move should be legal?
Ya know, I think I’m going to comment to him about it. It seems odd that some of these columnists do little research and should be slapped upside the head for not doing so.
At least he has nice teeth.
