Think about it.
"That's cruel". Is it? Why is it? If it's cruel, then you're saying it's not cruel to watch and encourage 'normal' people to pummel each other until they end up either unconcious or vegetative like Michael Watts, useless like Mohammed Ali or invisible like Prince Naseem.
So why is it ok to let mentally sufficient people batter themselves stupid, but as soon as somebody suggests putting a couple of Downs Syndrome blokes in the ring, everybody gets sqeamish?
Mongs are people too, why deny them the right to fight simply because your morals twinge? They live independantly, work, play and do everything you or I do. And they do it with a big vacant smile and noises of appreciation.
Who's to say they wouldn't like to opportunity to earn an extremely good living by smashing each other in the ovoid face?
And c'mon, it's an established fact that they have the strength of ten men when riled, so you're promised a spectacular bout.
Stop the kneejerk reaction and try to deny it would be incredibly entertaining. You'd make a fortune for PPV events, licensing would be a given with t-shirts (Snuggly, photoshop a Mong Victory Tshirt), and the tie-in videogame would be the best ever.
And also it would give The Daily Mail something else to scream about other than darkies and bummers.
If you just called it boxing, then people tuned in and saw some mongs slapping eachother around, they really couldn't complain in the interests of equal rights.
Also, do they have boxing in the 'special' Olympics? They must do for deaf people, right, or blind people with bells in the helmets? Well, some of those disabled kids are massive, and really strong like X-men. Stick one of them in the ring and let's see how someone with a gammy leg holds up. They dont even need training, just their laces done up.
