I say ban Bob Reilly from being an assembly man for this great 6 point ledger.

1) He uses outdated evidence to make his case for the people.

2) He is out of touch with reality.

3) His overall conception of mixed martial arts is skewed when boxing is legal and judging in those fights is related to how many times somebody gets punched.

4) He has made no legislation to make boxing illegal, given that “in no other sport is injury to an opponent a purpose and in fact every other sport safety is the first priority of rules.” Given the fact more people have died in boxing, clearly he is full of shit.

5) “It is indisputable the according to the rules themselves inflicting injury to an opponent rather than a demonstration of skill is the primary criteria of ultimate fighting.” Clearly not true, how do you explain people releasing the submission after they tap? If injury was the primary criteria everyone that lost in a submission would walk out with broken limbs, which clearly isn’t the case.

6) He is basing his claims on a ruleset from a defunct organization that only existed in America for 2(?) shows in total. They had to use revised rules when they were here, and it existed under proper sanctions. He is clearly delusional and would probably use the ruleset from Vale Tudo to prove his case if he had done enough research to find out what Vale Tudo was.

Overall this guy is exactly what is wrong with politics now-a-days, someone who is out of touch that has no bearing on reality, deciding the fate of many people through his own personal faulted bias.

Too bad people don’t get to vote on legislation, only the failures of politicians that cannot be held accountable to make choices for them. Democracy in action.

Get to work on drowning out this douchebag’s noise.

can he be sued for libel?
