NEWS!
Legislator in
Nebraska stops nhb and MMA fights!
That's right folks. Some obviously bored legislator in Nebraska has
introduced a bill in the Nebraska legislature to outlaw NHB/MMA
fighting.
And what's more
outrageous, several participants of a recent event in
Lincoln were fined 150 dollars each for "third degree
assault".
Third degree assault??? One can only wonder just Who is the victim of
this "assault"?
According to State Senator Paul Hartnett, the author of this nonsense,
"someone is going to get killed or maimed".
Perhaps, someone should ask this Sen. Hartnett how many people
have been killed n Nhb or MMA as compared with pro boxing?
The facts: Fighters wear 4-ounce gloves and usually fight barefooted.
They simply mix in a number of martial arts - jujitsu when down, karate
and kick-boxing when standing, and other martial arts throughout the
fights.
So what are Hartnett's real motives?
Interestingly enough, Sen. Hartnett is a former boxer. Do you think
maybe he is really protecting some boxing promoters who don't want
competition from another sport? In any event, let's hope the
people of Nebraska won't let him get away this invasion of personal
freedom.
Actually,
there is hope. Attempts to ban Nhb and MMA tournaments was defeated in
the State of Georgia, when they introduced a similar bill.
These fine organizations led the fight in Georgia to defeat this
unwise legislation:
