What do you people think about bringing back gladiator games? I’m not talking about fake shit, American Gladiators or UFC, but real gladiators. The way it was done in the Roman Empire, to the death.
Criminals who have been sentenced to death are a resource that is being wasted. Why don't we replace the death penalty with a choice of life without the possibility of parole or becoming a Modern Gladiator.
I know getting something like this past the human rights crybabies would be a nightmare, but criminals who undergo the death penalty have a 0% rate of recidivism. You can’t beat that. It could be made voluntary. Give the person a choice. Do you want to be executed, rot in a cell until you die, or do you want a chance to fight for your life and freedom?
This would save the country millions of dollars on the costs of sentencing people to death. The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole. The Modern Gladiators would make millions, possibly billions, of dollars that could go towards education, roads, police officers, and services for victims of crime and their families. This is a way to make money off of someone who otherwise is going to be relegated to the garbage pile and entertain people in the process.
I would also like to see those who decline to participate in the Modern Gladiator games be used for experimentation on by pharmaceutical companies like Bayer. New experimental medications and procedures could be tested on guilty humans instead of innocent animals. This is a way of saving lives by using those who have taken lives.
Everyone gets something from this deal. We get all the entertainment that we have always been told is wrong, but that we deep down have a primal desire for. One prisoner gets his life back, while the rest of the prisoners are given a chance to die in battle.
I think most of them would jump at the opportunity to fight for their life.
I know there are going to be people against this. I’m interested in hearing why you are for or against it.

You would run the risk of death row convicts turning into heroes.
Maybe in another country but it won't fly in the us. Too many pussies.
Rali - Maybe in another country but it won't fly in the us. Too many pussies.Most people in the US are overmedicated and don't care what is done to them. We just need the government backing the idea. You just need to find a way to make politicians some money off it. Plenty of money to be made off this.
"You would run the risk of death row convicts turning into heroes."
More like martyrs.
This is a little more out there, but I'd pay big money to watch this. How about something similar to this with a real Most Extreme Elimination Challenge type show, but without all the padding and shit. Kinda like the movie The Running Man.
Greatest idea ever! Tuggle, you are brilliant!

I think I shit myself a little bit. Hilarious
Let's say this actually happened. Would you watch it? Why or why not?
anyone who says they wouldnt at least check it out is a liar...
LIVE FROM "third world country" THE DEATH PIT!
The problem is the winner gets to go free?
Now we have a killer criminal on the loose.
Gannon u sound like a crazy cop or something!
( i would watch the death pit along with everyone else)
Reality tv it will happen eventually
Say you wouldn't watch this if this was going on for real. No padding, or water underneath them.
You don't really have to let the winner go free every time. In the Roman days it was up to the Emperor I believe. We could leave it up to a presidential pardon or they could vote on it at Bohemian Grove.
No.
Letting the winner loose is a bad idea, for one, hahaha.
Honestly though, I don't want to see anyone get their throat cut or jabbed with spears, etc. The fighting would be ridiculously intense for moments, granted, but I think I can live with MMA (if they would only institute knees on the ground!!!)
evil veiled - No.

What if it was only MMA with knees on the ground to the death? Would you tune in for that?
I see the man who is set free after winning every fight for 5 years or so, as Kimbo Slice X 1,000.
