I'll just leave this here.

What great role-models.

You have my undivided attention.

I can totally see all the players unconsciously twitching convulsing at halftime.

I'd pay good money to see this! When I say good money, I mean the $0.53 in my pocket.

DUDE. Slamball was tha shit.

I haven't thought about it in years, but it was definitely one of the best extreme sports out there.

I really hope this doesn't become a proper sport. I mean, come on, a bunch of people running around with a ball and tasers. Fuck dude, me and my mates could do this if we had the right equipment. Not only is it degrading to the players, and not applicable , but I can't help imagining how moronic I'd feel if I was actually interested enough to watch a game. Not only as Cold said, 'great 'role models', but also, how would you live with the humiliation. Get tased enough times, no matter what voltage, you will grow weary, pass out and start twitching around on the floor, which is always good, right?

This is probably what the majority of the paying customers are actually paying to see.

Hit your head enough times, no matter how hard, and your brain will turn into mush.
What's your point?

Critics argue that TASERs as well as other high-voltage stun devices can cause cardiac arrhythmia in susceptible subjects, possibly leading to heart attack or death in minutes by ventricular fibrillation, which leads to cardiac arrest and—if not treated immediately—to sudden death. People susceptible to this outcome are sometimes healthy and unaware of their susceptibility.

i don't think we have to worry about it

[Nymh]

Pfft. looks like a bunch of hyped up jerks running back and forth like idiots with an over-sized soccer ball. Actually come to think of it that's exactly what it is.

I would much rather see dudes beating the shit out of each other than electrocuting each other. Unless one of them loses control of their bodily functions or something.

This is sport? what ever happened to Roman gladiators and Battle Royale that history and sci fi promised us


Edit: also I thought it would be more like soccer except the ball would electrocute people**

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Then I watched the video and the tasers weren't prominently featured so I lost interest.
