See what a bad press the sport gets. This was not a boxing match, it was just fighting. Problem is there is no good headline saying "16 year old killed in fight" because it happens all the time.

If everyone who committed suicide by jumping off things coud be linked to, say springboard diving (maybe they were practicing their triple-axels), would everyone want to ban diving??

Anyway, one less shellsuit-wearing idiot (especially one who can't even fight properly) is probably helping the gene pool.
