Lol you couldn't get more plebier.

>>69511580
If there's deaths and chariot events, yes.
>The battle between Priscus and Verus in the First Century AD was the first gladiator fight in the famous Flavian Amphitheatre. After a spirited battle which dragged on for hours, the two gladiators conceded to each other at the same time, putting down their swords out of respect for one another. The crowd roared in approval, and the Emperor Titus awarded both combatants with the rudis, a small wooden sword given to gladiators upon their retirement. Both left the theater side by side as free men.
NICE 0-0 YOU GOT THERE
Only if there are no shoddy judges decisions. Two men enter, one man leaves.

>>69511688
RIP this semen slurping sport. Memes aside it sounds like a pretty based match, and a fair play by Titus.
>>69511719
I'm not forgetting them, It's just that they'd be too rare to be a factor.
>>69511731
because you're actually inteerested in the sport of because they battle with their chests out?
>>69511787
tit armour
Yeah, as long as the contestants were there by choice.
>>69511580
Sure, most gladiators only agreed to inflict wounds that drew a lot of blood but were largely superficial so that they made a grand old spectacle out of what is essentially wrestling. Only slaves being made to fight for their freedom would actually get properly injured, professional free gladiators wouldn't be risked like that when they can draw in huge crowds
>>69511580
do you think that would ever happen? people want to ban bullfighting because its "cruel"
>>69511660
horse races were plebier
>>69511660
Except that in gladiator fights people are killed, whereas in mandrama they literally PRETEND to inflict pain
You couldn't be more wrong you Arab cunt

>Except that in gladiator fights people are killed
Not necessarily, deaths were rare. Since gladiators costed money to train/feed etc. They were an asset.
>>69511707
This is a nice pic, anon. Is there a backstory?
>>69513145
They're popular slaves who have a chance of making it big if they survive. A more accurate comparison would be college athletes.
>>69513846
college athletes aren't slaves. They develop their physical skills and receive education.
>>69514021
>>69513846
Not all gladiators were slaves tho.

7. Small group of men vs Overwhelming force
8. Animal v Animal
9. Female fights
10. Chariot Races

>receive education
70% of NBA players are borke a few years after their retirement, because they're too fucking retarded to correctly manage their money (like buying hundreds of luxury watches, thousands of shoes, throwing parties for days with high level prostitues, etc...).
They don't give a single fuck about education.

It could happen. The US happily watched war footage of smart bombs blowing hundreds of people up, broadcast nationally.
It's only a matter of time. You know they are itching for it and if they could the would.
It's probably happening underground "somewhere".
