So the kicker vs. a boxer? Seems a legit critique ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gronk requested it!

I'd surely do a much better job than that impostor man-bat wearing tights and capes!

I'll have to check it out ;). Thanks for the pleasant discussion PKV.

True. I was being snarky because of her opening lines above-not to you. Domestic violence needs to be talked about and players need more than a slap on the wrist.

Mine was the SNES! I beat that game so many times as a kid.

I forgot about that literally sliced in half guy!! Blech!

I watched it the other day when Deadspin first posted it and laughed. The violence was gruesome because it's Mortal Kombat. But those three together are comedic gold.

Shhhh! Athletes are violent grunts and anyone who dares watch sports is contributing to violence against women.

Is that really why though? Or is it simply because they are funny? Many men find them overwhelmingly funny while commiserating with the pain of getting kicked in the nuts. I don't think penis=power=vulnerability=funny.

But just because it was a punch to the vagina area doesn't make it sexual. As others have pointed out, groin shots have always been a part of this game. Men getting whacked in the nuts is considered hilarious and prevalent in popular culture, shows, etc.

And in memes! And America's Funniest Home Videos, and movies, etc.

That's fair but the game as a whole was incredibly violent. And the guys reacted in horror at it-whether scripted or not, I'm glad they didn't laugh and think it was funny.

Cunt punches! There have been so many stories in reference to that sorority girl letter and no one called her rapey.

Is it worse than getting your face sawed in half and slip off exposing your brains or being gutted?

I was there in '03. Maybe the Sicilians just had a jump on the rest of Italy? ;)

I wish I had a soft copy of this but I have a photo of police-women in Sicily walking around in high heels.

I read something on this site a long time ago regarding defense attorneys. And that the good ones do a damn good job at it because they are generally defending you against the State. If every defense attorney allowed the government and prosecutors to just get away with shitty procedures and unjust laws it would…

How incredibly rude and prejudicial.

Yeah, that was my thought. She's just trying to ride the subway with her husband and someone directly across from her whips out a phone to take a picture. I'd turn away from that person as well. She looks annoyed to me.
