I don't like hearing about death, or dying from engaging in a sport, but still.. I'm surprised this isn't much more common.

Even normal boxing is a very brutal sport. If you have ever attended a live boxing event ringside then you already know.

At a ringside, live boxing event one can hear the punches landing, water and/or sweat flying all over, sometimes blood splashes on the viewers, bones can be heard crunching.

Now there is MMA. There is even more brutality in MMA but as long as people pay to watch those events then.....

The article says he is from a team. The craziest "sport" I've seen is team MMA where 6 or 8 guys on one side go at 6 or 8 guys on the other.

When one team loses its first guy it's basically game over. The guy that is freed up can join a friend and its two on one, then three on one, then four on one, etc.

The last guy on the losing team is basically put through a meat grinder.

At first I thought it might be good entertainment, but it turned out to be just a bloody mess.

Wow, Charlie Ward, multi-sport wonder... the former Knicks star who was the best Quarterback in New York.

I was wondering what had happened to him...
