Back during the Cold War, the Communists derided various aspects of Western Civilization. Now it’s the Islamofascists’ turn to do so, and if there’s one thing they wouldn’t hesitate to slam us on, it’s bringing Ultimate Fighting to the kids’ level.
Boxing doesn’t appeal to me. Some consider it as barbaric, and yet Ultimate Fighting, its 21st-Century descendant, is all the rage. You hear about such-and-such event at so-and-so place, or see big advertisements on TV for pay-per-view events. But allowing children to take part in UFC is even worse. There are lots of other ways to teach kids the discipline needed for adulthood, this simply isn’t one of them.
