This is nothing more than thuggery masquerading as a sport and it should be banned. This is not ancient Rome, this is 2014.

I would argue that it is a pretty fair bet that many of the young people that idolise this so called sport are also the ones getting fuelled up on roids, grog and god knows whatever else for no other reason than to look for fight or a innocent to beat on.

Anyone who throws the coward punch and puts someone in hospital should be charged with attempted murder. If unfortunately the victim dies then the charge is murder. Simple.

Lifting the drinking age back to 21, bring back early closing times for pubs and make the publicans more accountable for rsa would also make a hell of a lot of sense.

 
 
 

Wow.. What a load of rubbish for the most part. I agree with the part that if someone does as a result of a cowardly king hit then yes it should be charged as murder, but the rest of what you say is utter rubbish. Obviously you either haven't been out in a while or don't know that many young people.. And for the last part way to make the world boring
