I was a collegiate boxer. Everyone wants to punch guys in the face bare knuckles until they do it for real. Bar fights are stupid. Every idiot is surrounded by buddies who are waiting to pop you in the back of the head.
This. We don't go to bars often, at least not the type filled with people who are out to fight.
I play in a city softball league though, last week. A lot of young dudes fresh out of college, we(other guys) had a pretty good tussle after a dude pushed another dude on 1st base... I just stood in the back. I talked to some of the guys afterwards, I said:
"Dudes is this softball game worth going to jail over?"
Them: No
Me: are you willing to get your face broken by an overzealous idiot with a softball bat?
Them again: No
Me: then why the fuck are you fighting?
Crickets...
People don't think of the reality that a fight can entail... be a grown up. If you have to fight, for your safety, maximum violence...
