The definition of "Obscene" should be expanded to include Eating Contests and Combat Sports.
When I compared dogfighting to "extreme mixed martial arts," some protested that humans have a choice. True enough. But the fact that beings possessed of free will would choose to indulge their primal bloodlust by willingly (enthusiastically) engaging, either as participants or spectators, in such bestial spectacles compounds, doesn't mitigate, the offense to aesthetics and morality.
America lacks an essential sense of irony---one can become a felon for putting fighting cocks in a ring, or a successful entrepreneur by putting Toughmen in a cage to do the same thing.
