| The sport is on the verge of chasing away even it's most die hard long time fans.
I've watched for over 20 years, and I've made the decision to slowly withdraw interest/support for the sport.
There are just too many thoroughly unlikeable personalities involved that are poisoning everything.

| I've found myself watching the old-time fights on Youtube lately.Like many of the others have succinctly stated,I'm getting fed up with this sport.That is the reason why many people are turning to MMA. | |

Isn't there a little honor thing at stake here too? I mean it is one thing to get chased out of the tourney by injuries. But otherwise doesn't one given this opportunity have an obligation to see it through? | |

Then US Senators and then US Rep's. Actually beginning with Congresscritters is the right priority. I have an idea for a Constitutional Amendment. Every week Congress is in session the names of every critter get placed in a hat. One name for each year of service. So if you've been in Congress for 12 years, 12 slips of paper, 4 years four slips of paper. The name picked out gets hanged on the Mall in DC during Happy Hour on Friday. Two benefits, seniority is punished making it more likely we will have citizen legislators and it will incent Congress to NOT be in session thereby minimizing the damage they can do. | |
