I saw elsewhere in this forum, a few posts regarding fighting in baseball. Here is the breakdown on that...and i also expanded on competition a little.
Baseball fights = a bunch of guys running around and slapping at eachother, then getting carted off the field on stretchers, out 6 - 8 months.
Football fights = facemask grabbing and dance numbers.
Soccer/futbol fights = the teams stop playing and take a break while 130,000 people kill eachother and set fire to the stadium.
UFC fights = real...except for all that WWE shit leading up to it.
Boxing = trying to stay relevant in light of the UFC.
Basketball fights = lots of pushing, shoving and posturing, but when they DO hit eachother, its from 10 ft away because those arms are LONG!
Rugby fights = pretty much....
Hockey fights = been there 120 years, wont stop anytime soon. But the superstar, slick goal scorers should just....stop...leave the scrappy stuff to the scrappers, kid.
Some proposed ideas to increase viewership can include.....
Yachting fights = should have black powder cannons loaded with buck and 3 pounders, along with boarding parties. Winners keep the other yacht and thus, get the prize.
Horse racing = jockeys wear swords and shields. It will add to their weight, but lets see how it goes.
Golf fights = Awesome!!! (or would be, anyway)
Fencing = lose the protective gear, sharpen those tips and lets see what you're made of, sir!
Car Racing = Mad Max theme. Spectators pay their money and takes their chances.
Air Races = you do the math! Live fire Battle of Britain reenactment over some redneck airfield would be nothing short of AWESOME!
Track and Field fights = Blackjacks, Batons, short swords and few rules. The one who actually finishes, wins. No time limit on getting there. Limbs optional.
Olympics (both summer and winter) = Nothing short of a Roman bloodbath!
Chess fights = they will try to destroy each other from within. Once a destructive thought missle is launched, the player calmly presses his clock.
Beauty Pageant fights = drinks will be thrown, asses will be called fat, feelings will be hurt. The whole thing stops when the hair gets messed up.
Dog/Cat show fights = leave the animals out of this. Let them sleep, play or eat. The people who show dogs and cats are dangerous people! Let them kill themselves off!
Spelling Bee fights = After watching Charlie Brown go through that, the snarky trombone sound alone would make me aggressive.
and of course....
Battle of the bands!! = An epic battle of fire and might between 6 or 7 devastating armies, poised for destruction with sword and fire! There will be only one who emerges from the fire to claim the prize for GLORY!!
...and by that, i mean a small write up in the local rag and some free beer.
