this is the dullest essay you'll ever read
$Zero
it's about the sport of boxing.
two guys
(who've been training for years)
(lifting weights, running, fighting)
these two guys
they climb over a couple of ropes
into a small square ring.
they are wearing nothing
other than a pair of shorts,
a pair of socks,
a pair of sneakers,
and a pair of gloves.
usually, the shorts are different colors.
like, one guy will wear red shorts,
while his opponent will wear blue.
they each go to opposite corners.
they jump up and down for a few minutes to loosen up.
usually while jabbing the air in front of them.
eventually,
a referee calls them both to the center,
maybe tells thems about a few rules,
then the ref makes them shake hands.
they then take a few steps backward
(usually jumping up and down while doing so).
and as soon as the bell rings
they head towards eachother.
then,
they try to punch eachother's brains in.
could anything be more silly?
yes.
here's my proposal.
first, make the square ring much bigger.
say, three times bigger.
keep everything else pretty much the same, like,
keep the two different colored shorts thinger going.
in fact, other than changing the size of the ring,
keep almost everything else exactly the same.
except,
make it two teams of boxers.
say, ten guys on each team.
ten wearing blue, and ten wearing red.
do everything else the same.
then...
...
ring the bell.
...
...
red against blue.
last color standing, wins.

That's called 'professional wrestling'.
How about this? Your ten-guy teams, but the 'ring' is a whole city.
They chase each other through subways and down sidewalks and alleys,
and finally beat the crap out of each other.
Oh, wait. That happens already.
Better -- let them carry pistols in their jockeys, too.
Oh, wait....
