Dan Hardy is a professional and an adult. What he does simply doesn't compare.

People need to to stop lining up straw men, and need to face the actual event being dscussed.

Noone is being asked to enjoy professional MMA, or to think Dan Hardy is a nice guy.

But if people are going to line up to accuse parents of tacit complicity in child abuse then they should be able to demonstrate their point, not with references to professional boxers or wrestlers, not with references to illegal bare knuckle boxing, not with references to cock fighting or bear baiting, but with reference to the facts of the event under scrutiny.
