You talkin' dive ball? I dont watch any sport but MMA since all sports are just a derivative of fighting with too many rules. Why not watch closest to the original?

I want to point out that soccer is the derivative of Calcio storico, a sport were you play soccer while fighting people.

MMA is a duel while soccer is a warfare simulation. soccer is not derivative to duel but to warfare.

So the closest from original is calcio storico not mma.

Many - but not all - sports are derivatives of wargaming, which is distinctly different from unarmed combat such as MMA. Many team contact sports emerged from exercises performed by soldiers for training purposes, or organized by unit commanders for same, in which the rules were there to ensure soldiers survived to keep going and doing their jobs and/or to ensure that commanders learned the tactical and strategic lessons the games were supposed to be teaching them. Other sports derive from traditional games and festival activities from older cultures, rather than descending from military training.

Not that any of this matters. Kind of useless to post in a sports thread and saying nothing save that Sports Suck. The usual thing to do would be to just let the sports nuts have their threads in peace, ne?
