Censorship - In Sport!

If there is one area where censorship should be unheard of - it is surely sport.

There is not much reason to censor football, athletics or boxing, as no one really gains from doing so. All the more surprising then to see some of the UCC Mixed Martial Arts fights from Canada on The Fight Network, which are censored!

As soon as any fighter sustains a facial or head injury, close up shots are either avoided, or the fighters face is blanked out by a sort of grey blob.

I have never seen anything like it. It would appear that in Canada it is acceptable to go round clubby seals to death for their coats, but we can't see footage of a man with a nose bleed!

The Fight Network really should tell however is supplying them with this footage to sort their lives out, or stick something else on instead.
