Bravery has nothing to do with it. Gay bar mud wrestling satisfies your desire to see strapping young men scrumming for a ball, but has the added benefit of far shorter distances to the pisser and the next beer. Efficiency, not bravery.

I guess your people play strange rules of "mud wrestling" if there's a ball involved...

Now THAT'S the kind of sport I expect to find in gay bars...

It can be lesbian mud wrestling, that would be quite satisfactory.

The pads actually allow them to hit each other even harder, but as Min. pointed out, the problem is with the head injuries.

Not bad, Napo, but try doing some of these without pads.
