To me this sounds like a new upgraded version of "the dunk tank" used at
neighborhood festivals and events where politicians let people throw balls
at the target and try to dunk them. Fun for all.

I have no doubt that Cage Fighting, whether it be between city council
candidates or tough men (or women, for that matter) would be a wildly
successful enterprise. People and businesses and sponsors would make
money, the city would recoup tax revenue, and it would be an advertisers
heaven. It would bring entertainment dollars into the city.
Then reality would set in: A group of mothers from South Minneapolis would
protest because it's violent and it doesn't send a "positive" or
"peaceful" message to "the children." And then it would be banned by the
city council because it's not good for the contestants.
I say Go For It.

Subject: [Mpls] ask the Mpls City Council candidates..
I have got it! After listening to MPR this afternoon-I think the the true
test for deciding who to vote for for CC is to ask them what they think
of Cage Fighting. I heard about on MPR a town where the city council has
approved Cage fighting (yes where two people get in a cage and fight it
off)-and I thought it would be a great idea to ask in some of these wards
where somehow people are having trouble deciding who to vote for-and
maybe need a little more information about their candidates! Lets ask the
candidates about their feelings on cage fighting.
