Is age softening me?
|
|
Was at a casino with the Mrs last night and lots of groups of blokes were in for the boxing on the big screens. I wasnt taking much notice until the noise levels increased and people were getting excited. It suddenly saddened me that people were so enthused as some boxer was getting pulverised. And yes i know everyone has their favourites and the beer was flowing but i still felt uneasy at so much joy being expressed as someone was getting mullered. I never used to feel like this about boxing when i was younger,is it just me or are there any more old cunts feel this way?

Well put it this way, if you still celebrate a goal being scored with exactly the same enthusiasm that you did when you were 20 in your mid forties I think you have not lived a productive life, or you like some Charlie on a match day.
Your meant to slow down age does that, it's why I don't look at my wife the way I used to, like a steak and chips, she is now a piece of boiled cod and new potato's which I enjoy but not nearly as much as steak and chips.

I wouldn't say it's an age thing. It's not nice seeing someone get badly hurt but, with boxing or any other fighting sport, people know what they're signing-up to.
It's likely that they'll get badly hurt themselves one day in the ring and they're aware of that.

You gotta have a good ref who can see when someone's getting punished, and step in

There’s a video doing the rounds of Whyte and Chisora chilling out on a sofa together, after the fight. No malice towards each other whatsoever.
Boxers know what to expect and Refs are quick to stop any severe beatings taking place.
What does sicken me though, is seeing videos of people getting attacked, and that has definitely increased as I’ve got older.

Yea i get all that. I just felt sad that not much thought was given to the geezer getting battered. But saying that i suppose a crowd of beered up blokes (and a few doris's) arnt going to be to bothered as long as their man is winning.
Yup i'm getting old and soft.

I could never bear to watch boxing.
So I don't think age is SOFTENING you, I think it's making you turn female.
HTH.

Not sure if it's softened you, but it's almost certainly making you floppy...

The noble art of pugilistic is a barbaric yet compelling spectator sport.
Always sobering to see the ambulance outside York Hall on a Friday night

I fear the reality of what lesbians tend to look like may be at odds with your imaginings, but I admire your spirit.
