fm 104

youllneverknow

FM 104 are talking about kids watching MMA. As usual people are on saying its barbaric and its pure violence. listened to about 5 mins then knocked it off .
Why do people who have no idea about the sport feel the need to comment on it in a negative way with out trying it at least once?
One of the comments said was that the gloves are for protection of the hands apart from that its just bare knuckle.
do they not offer abit of protection for cuts to?

TBH, if this was a debate without FM104 phoneshow involved I would actually be arsed writing something decent. But a load of people who ring in to that phoneshow are just brainless gobshítes.

Listening to it too, it's just Jerry Springer for Radio.

They did a UFC show a few months back, there is no point in even trying to get your point across to that prick Kennedy, he has his mind made up that it's barbaric and there's no changing it.

Kennedy makes his mind up way too quickly anyway. The facts are on the internet and they are very easy to find. Do the research and then decide.

Mr. Loverman

The Adrian Kennedy Phone Show is Joe Duffy for skangers.

Don't take it seriously!

I started watching UFC at the age 15 when I got into Martial Arts. Parents didn't have a problem with it because it was a sport I was participating in. Its like me playing Gaelic and watching Gaelic, you want to see your hero's / idle's play.

That's not even his real opinion, all he does is sit there and adopt the opinion of the majority of his callers, so that they will keep calling and listeners will keep listening.

If kids, ie. below teenage age are watching mma, in this country, which is very limited in its coverage, they're either staying up til 3am to watch it live, or are watching fights online un-supervised. Either way that falls down to parenting. But that's a harder pill to swallow than: "OMG MMA IS BARBARIC LETS GO ON AN ILL-INFORMED RANT":rolleyes:

Some of the fakest banter you'll ever here. If Kennedy's callers don't like MMA than that can only be good.

I'm a big mma fan but that doesnt mean I'd let my young kids watch it.

Why not?

I reckon 11 or 12 would be the right age for starting to watch it.

Then they could begin to appreciate the skill and techniques and not just mimick the violent aspects.

My bad, I thought you meant you wouldn't let them watch until around 15/16..
