Well your only half right on that because your just looking at it from and offensive POV, as a defender your job is to stop them from scoring. You can't tell LB and DB aren't trying to hurt QB, RB, or WR when them coming running at them full speed and try making a highlight type hit. Also you can score more points in a MMA fight and win.

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I train in MT and BJJ, and would have no problem with my kids doing the same, and if they wanted to pursue it further, then so be it. Why do you guys have such a problem admitting that combative sports promote violence? They are "combative" sports for God's sake lol. Is "OLD Bob" wrong when he says this? The sport is about trying to punch people in the face, kick them in the head with your shin, choke them until they either tap or pass out, and trying to tear ligaments in their shoulder. In fact, I emplore you to name one aspect of MMA that isn't violent...other than Machida or Starns' running away...that doesn't count. It is violent. Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it.
