Peter Gammons Wonders "Can civilization go lower" than the WWE and UFC?

These hazy details were enough to cause Gammons to condemn both the UFC and WWE. I’m sure Gammons would have no problem with someone using hyperbole to declare all of Major League Baseball – a sport and organization he has covered for more than 40 years – the lowest civilization was capable of going based on the actions of a single baseball player’s actions. Kirby Puckett choking his wife with electrical cord and holding a gun to her head for example. Or Ugueth Urbina attacking five men with a hatchet. Or just Milton Bradley in general.

Look, Peter Gammons is a 67-year-old baseball writer. He is not in the UFC’s target demographic. Thus, no one should be surprised that Gammons isn’t a fan of mixed martial arts – or professional wrestling for that matter.

Violence is not a MMA thing or a professional wrestling thing or a baseball thing or a general sports thing. It is a human thing. It’s a problem that exists everywhere. That’s why someone with a platform like Gammons’ Twitter account (Over 200k followers, only 5% fake. Pretty impressive!) probably shouldn’t be damning an entire sport or entertainment industry based on one he-said-she-said incident.
