USAtoday usually is horrible, but this opinion piece nailed it.

If you have $99 to blow and you are a boxing/MMA fan go to Rumble in the Roseland next time, pay half of that to see real fights in person, not this hyped-up garbage.

Burt! Where have you been hiding? It's been less stimulating sinc you took a leave of absence around here.

MBA?
Is that some kind of dairy cow milking contest?

Rather spend the $99 on ammo and have a fun weekend or two

I don't compete.

I don't look at shooting as a "Sport".

I look at it as a necessary part of being prepared to live life in this insane world as safely as possible without hiring multiple armed guards.......

I shoot with others I can learn from, but I don't compare my shooting abilities with fat old men, fat young men, or skinny young or old men...or women.

I feel "pretty comfortable" with my abilities, knowing I can, and do, constantly improve.

No need to make old fat men feel superior............... or inferior.

I don't consciously kill anything except flies, mosquitoes, & ticks. So "sport killing" is not in my blood........

People watch boxing because they don't want to participate and get hit. Getting hit tells you what you can take, better to learn to fight in a controlled setting than to learn the hard way.

Shooting competition makes you a better shot. It gives you an adrenaline rush just like being afraid in a fight and will let you know how you will react under stress.

People tend to ride in their comfort zone, just opinion but too much comfort is a killer
