' If the fighters aren't concerned why should I be?'

Who says they aren't concerned? I saw a survey that the majority worry about brain damage. And well they should.

'As far as billionaire sports owners yadda yadda yadda'

What is that yadda yadda supposed to mean? I mean by viewing you're supporting right-wing scumbags who promote trump.

'Because there's a risk of injury in any physical activity'

Ok, it's only a few sports that have a high % of BRAIN DAMAGE. Give me a break

' Why do you feel such a strong urge to protect people from themselves? Shouldn't people be free to engage in risky activities if they want?'

Im saying there is something psychologically wrong with anyone who enjoys watching one man sitting on top of another repeatedly bashing their skull, very possibly inflicting serious harm to them. And it extends to an unhealthy, dumbed-down, regressive influence in society as a whole. I said nothing about legalities.
