There is no dumber #sport that's legal than #slapfighting because you're essentially speed running #braindamage from chronic, repeated head injuries.

If you know anything about #martialarts then you know they aren't really slaps either. They're wrist strikes most of the time, which can mess you up just as badly as a closed fist.

You're allowed to dodge in other #combat sports so they aren't AS bad.

Slap fighting is like tee-ball for fighting, and your face is the ball.

Good morning!

I just learned, from @theeconomist, of the existence of #slapFighting and while my first reaction was, humans don't really deserve the beauty of this planet, my second reaction is actually, are the men and boys alright?

And that's because of this highly thought-provoking series on #ZetlandMag on how men are suffering, which is definitely making me re-evaluate the world.

Brilliant journalism + good visualisations. Worth translating.
