There was literally zero critical thought. That place is managerial chaos with a Captain Queen at the top of the masthead, and it's a credit to the section editors and reporters that it remains functional.
No, it's really not. Boxing is a sport, kickboxing is a sport. UFC matches are blood stunts and, in this case, a Nuremberg-style rally for the recruitment of a personal army dedicated to crotch kicking fellow Americans.

Just look at these idjits.

Meanwhile at the White Trash White House last night the main event wasn’t even in the ring. Fights were breaking out on the lawn everywhere under the light of fireworks. Not since the White House burned down in 1814 have we seen so many battles. Sign! 🤡

Subscriptions must have absolutely cratered after the Bezos Post dumped sports coverage.
