So I was comparing the spectators and showing similarities.
But I styled the sentence to sound like yours, as if to say, 'maybe your one of them'.
And that was just a little shit stir at you, because the way you wrote that last post, it sounded like you wanted people to know you can fight, but didn't want to come straight out with it like a big boaster, real subtle like.
I could be wrong, that's why I wrote it as a joke, it's not a claim.
Talk about reading way too much into something.
Most people who watch basketball are too afraid to play basketball, let alone fight. I wasn't comparing spectators to players... You know what... Why bother. I think you missed my point completely, somehow.

There are no refs in combat, no backing off after low blows, no rules against caving the back of someone’s head in, and pretty much everybody has a godamned knife.
That, and it just doesn’t pay as well as getting greased up and playing manhands for the fans.
Wrong. The UFC, and other combat sport organizations, are literally sanctioned forms of combat. End of discussion.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
