Then why does it never happen? I'm going to keep harping on this - because it doesn't happen, I literally can't think of an example of it ever happening.
no worries dude, i consider you a friend and i know we can both make our view points heard without resorting to insults unlike others here.
ok maybe not instantly snapping it in half but enough to cause injury.
WinkleJohns argument is bullshit. everyone is always comparing it with strikes to the head stating getting your knee blown out is safer. Its like hey choose one or the other, how about neither? I have already made several comparisons to this argument but I would like to make some more.
"I rather have dinner with a retired fighter who limps than a retired fighter who cant remember his own name"
How about we have dinner with a fighter than CAN walk and CAN remember his own name?
name one MMA fighter that cant remember his name?
Name one fighter whos knee is destroyed from this move: Wonderboy
Lets take a look at American Football and its tackling rules:
-"To protect players from potentially catastrophic injury, there are some restrictions on tackles and blocks."
- Blocks that
occur in the back of the legs and below the knees, initiated below the waist, or clotheslines are also generally prohibited and players who use them are subject to much more severe penalties than other illegal tackles.
But hey lets allow tackles to knees because getting tackled in the head is more dangerous and I rather have dinner with a guy who limps than a guy that cant remember his own name.
If we were that concerned about our NFL players safety, we would just remove tackling all together! what a valid comparison/argument I have with this statement a?
I like the word to protect from potential catastrophic injury. How often does it happen, rarely, but the potential for catastrophic injury is there. Thats why it should be removed. But the potential for catastrophic injury is there with every strike! yes it is. but you cant remove strikes in a striking sport. You can however remove any potential catastrophic strikes, such as the knee to the head while the opponent is down or the knee stomp.
