Who is surprised that two throngs of people who are into a so called ‘sport’ intended to cause brain damage (concussions, a.k.a. knock outs) as a preferred outcome would turn into a crime scene?
Spoken by someone who does not understand the Sport one bit and would likely never have the balls to compete. Likely a leftist wuss with TDS.
