It really is not all that different from what they did in Rome.
Games games games, everyone had to have their games.
As long as everyone was entertained at the Coliseum, everyone was happy, content and distracted while Rome continued its expansion.

It is amazing how blood thirsty people really are, even if they do not admit it.
Look at today, times have changed of course but it is still the same principal as football and basketball. Millions of people gather to watch these modern day "blood baths" played out on a hardwood floor or a field. Boxing is by far the closest we have to match the brutality that we say we despise.edit on 20-12-2011 by Skewed because: (no reason given)
