Looking for a Violent Sport?

Seems to me that martial art is the wrong place to look if it's violence you're after. I challenge you to find any sport (golf included) where there is less aimless and senseless violence than the martial arts!

Here's the latest baseball take on you-do-suck (TM): "Gathright didn't use martial arts background in altercation."

"A day after the fracas between Joey Gathright and Julian Tavarez, Gathright's Devil Rays teammates said the Red Sox pitcher was lucky Gathright did not inflict harm on him."

(The only one with a cool head, Gathright, is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, having studied the Korean martial art from ages 8 to 18, before stopping after he got drafted to play baseball.)
