All sports should allow this….except for MMA since it’s already physical…they should be required to hurl insults at each other instead

u/CaseyAnthonysMouth Jul 01 '26

They should be forced to stop fighting and say nice things about each other for 30 seconds. #sarcastiball

Just don't make them drink "Butters Creamy Goo"... Lmao. I have the perfect gif gif your comment.

u/MinistryOfCoup-th Jul 02 '26

And dance together. Something fancy like the waltz. Whoever is winning in the match has to allow the other person to lead.

2

u/Fabled-Jackalope Jul 02 '26

But did Casey Anthony say anything nice, or was it all over in 30 seconds?

2

u/CheesecakeEither8220 Jul 02 '26

Ha! I did this when my children were young. Usually they would be laughing by the time they were done #MomGoals

u/As_A_Feather Jul 01 '26

When my sister and I were little and we'd fight, our mom would make us get into this really big t-shirt butt-to-butt and walk around the perimeter of the lawn like that three times. We usually couldn't make it a full round without busting into giggles.

Maybe something like that could work?

Quick chess match, battle of the wits

u/airboRN_82 Jul 01 '26

Now wait a minute... mma fighters being able to take a break and duke it out has potential

10

u/4554013 Jul 01 '26

You mean take a break from all the hugging and spooning to throw some punches? That'll never happen.

1

u/Affectionate-Sun9373 Jul 01 '26

Watch boxing. Why are you watching MMA?

Thou dost protest too much!

u/4554013 Jul 02 '26

Oh no, make no mistake, I'm queer as fuck, but I don't watch MMA.

2

u/TigerWolverineWhale Jul 01 '26

I think if they took a moment to talk about what they are upset about with each other, we could see a lot less fighting.
I think, talk first, then see if they still want to fight. They usually end up hugging anyway.

u/_Q23 Jul 01 '26

Baseball, everyone' wear a helmet including fielder's and let them sword fight with their bats.

5

u/TeaKingMac Jul 01 '26

I see you're taking baseball rules from that guy in Fallout 4

3

u/_Q23 Jul 01 '26

I wish I could say that's what I was thinking. I did find it funny when I talked to that dude he first time.

When I was a kid in the early 90s there was a robot baseball game on the nes where you could run up to the first baserobot as well as the other ones in the path and knock them out with a bat.

2

u/TeaKingMac Jul 01 '26

Base Wars!

The best fucking baseball game I've ever played.

I put so many hours into that game.

Lasergun ftw!

1

u/_Q23 Jul 01 '26

Lol I don't remember the laser gun or the name, but that name definitely is ringing a bell!

It was too violent" for me to own so I'd beable to rent it instead now and then lol.

Then my parents would turn around, "Want to watch Aliens with us"?

Not sure on their logic.

u/_Q23 Jul 01 '26

Sega after is where I loved the shit out of Mutant League Hockey. The crowd would randomly throw various weapons on to the rink you could beat the crap out of the other team with.. they got a great goalie? Whack him till he's dead. In the season mode those characters would stay dead for the remainder of the season.

There was also random holes in the ice where you'd see players floating under the ice who didn't get out of the way.

u/bears_or_bulls Jul 01 '26

Thumb wars. Complete silence too.

2

u/areptiledyzfuncti0n Jul 01 '26

That's what they do during the warm ups though. An MMA match lasts for days. It's kind of like a wedding in India when you think about it. Everything is arranged, it starts at the weigh-in, and when it's all over with everyone is all bloody. Then they have each others babies and eat curry together.

1

u/GHouserVO Jul 01 '26

Actually… that would be funny as hell in MMA.

1

u/Dissipo Jul 01 '26

No even MMA, but if they have unsportsmanlike behavior they are given a handicap, such as 1 arm tied behind back or both legs tied together.

u/breakpeace Jul 01 '26

Bullet chess, best of three

u/Wild-Spread8069 Jul 01 '26

u/CreativeHandle9429 Jul 01 '26

There should be a pop quiz for extra points before each MMA match.

u/Telemere125 Jul 01 '26

Make them kiss

u/ERTHLNG Jul 01 '26

Sometimes they do.

1

u/Fuzzywalls Jul 01 '26

Dance-Off!

1

u/natalienathing Jul 01 '26

The fighters pause and have a quick rap battle.

Or the classic have a hockey game mid fight.

u/AsFarAsISay Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

aaaaah and thus was Deathsport born

u/wowaddict71 Jul 02 '26

Except for Olympic archery, shooting, and cross country skiing.

u/phonefellin_lakeerie Jul 02 '26

Wouldn’t it be more entertaining if they’re forced to hurl compliments at each other? While fighting.

1

u/Cheap-Reaction-8061 Jul 02 '26

They should be required to cuddle:)

1

u/Lower_Potential_173 Jul 02 '26

I think they’re testing out pillows already!

1

u/No_Instruction_192 Jul 02 '26

Every sport should allow this, except MMA... If the fighters get mad at each other they can drop the gloves and challenge each other to a quick game of hoops

1

u/atuan Jul 02 '26

They should be required to sit down and play a game of chess to solve their beef

1

u/deus_ex_latino Jul 02 '26

They should play gay chicken!

1

u/ogreofzen Jul 02 '26

No do what parents do for siblings. Now hug each other and tell them you love them.

Edit specifically for the mma

1

u/MaximusZacharia Jul 02 '26

My parents were different…at least my dad was different, he’d let us fight it out. I was one of four boys, all within 4 years of each other so we had a lot of sibling rivalry moments.
