<sarcasm>
Its the victims fault BJ don't you understand? Thousands of other athletes have no problem so it's clearly the victims fault </sarcasm>

Its the same dumbass logic that's applied to rape victims and it's disgusting.

I hear you, Cock, but it's just sad man It's great to watch extreme athletes do what they do, as it can be entertaining, but even hard-core cage-fighters have safety standards. I really think shit like this massive Redbull campaign helps instigate more and more extreme conditions for these 'fearless' (i.e. brainless) athletes to compete in.
