Bloodsports

[Albetta]

We've all seen them in the realm of movies and games, but the question is that if a dystopian near-future society ever resorted to sending people to FIGHT TO THE DEATH in televised matches, would you go see it?

I know im gonna be called a sicko, but it sounds sorta tempting.

Where's the fun in watching? I'd wana play

only if it stars John Claude Van Damme...

Yea. I mean, you've got to try it and see if you like it, don't you?
Plus, if the shit hits the fan, it's a good job opportunity.

Well, unless it's to the death. Fight Club style fights (maybe until they're beaten up more) would be preferable to be in. Leave the killing stuff to criminals like in the film Gamer.

I instantly regretted clicking this thread when I thought 'What if it's about that other kind of bloodsports'
Luckily that was not so, so, uhm. I think I'd rather watch on TV, getting blood all over me if I'm in the front row doesn't sound fun, unless they cater well, I'll do anything for good catering.

Spoiler: bloodsport ending

you are awesome. glad to know I am not the only one who fondly remembers that movie.

I am really finding myself in agreement with Cpt_Oblivious actually. I would not ever fight to the death just for the sake ofsomeone else's entertainment but I wouldn't have any problem with say a fight club sort of fight.

I guess it would be kind of entertaining.

If people really want to fight to the death and it's not illegal to watch, then yes, I would watch.
