Love Kevin James, but...
...I don't like the movie used a violent sport to entertain families. I know I will be grossly outnumbered on this one, but violent sports are just plain wrong and contributes in its own way to the increasingly violent nature of our community. Children learn that violence is fun and rewarding when it is in the form of a sport. I'm sure many children talked to their parents after the movie about wanting to do martial arts, boxing, football, and Lord knows what. And about martial arts, many parents sign their kids up for martial arts saying that it teaches them self-control. Isn't self-control something that parents are supposed to teach their kids? I have a nephew in it and he is still out of control because he only has to exercise self-control for an hour a week and then ruin his household along with his two brothers for the rest of the week. All it really does is teach children violence-how to beat the crap out of someone. Some may say, "But children need to learn self-defense to protect them from bullies?" It sounds like a good argument, except for the fact that martial arts can turn kids into bullies because now they know they can beat someone up. The same is true of boxing.
Had to get that off my chest. I wish people, especially parents, would think before just going along with whatever is popular.
