Honestly I think this is great. Some tacky bloodsport arena is a refreshingly honest reflection of the true national character of this country.

Much more fitting than the weird civil religion stuff going on in the rest of the national mall. This country does not deserve dignity until it stops being a global force for evil.

Was mad, but yeah, honestly true. It's like when he renamed the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. A far more accurate reflection.
