Stuff like this is one of the reasons why the only sports I like are combat sports. Even if I don't know what the specific rules are in a combat sport, I can appreciate that it is bad to get kicked in the head, but that also it looks cool.
I usually shop online now. But a million years ago when I was still using brick and mortar stores - I went to the mall to buy sneakers. To make a sale the sales guy was pretend-friendly and he asked what kind of sports I liked. I should have smiled and said "I'm not into sports," because pretend-friendly stuff isn't my thing. But instead without thinking I said "MMA". And he instantly replied by saying "Who's your favorite fighter?" He said it so fast he squashed it down all of that to be about a second.
I wanted to say "I just like KOs." but he would have thought I was weirdo so I said "GSP." I fucking hated GSP and his lay-and-pray stuff. But he was the first name I thought of so I said it.
