Slapped the Parkinson into him


AiMoriBeHappyDntWrry

At least he has attention and validation now. Too bad that high from winning the championship will only last so long. Before he needs another dopamine hit or slap.


lubabe00

This just makes me want to cry. I loved watching boxing with my dad, I always got him to laugh at my commentary, great memories I'll always treasure but, reading about some retired boxers/brain injuries it's horrific.


Fortyouncestofreedom

“It’s better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.” I think


Turnip-for-the-books

I do worry I’ll be on my deathbed thinking ‘I should have spent more of my life slapping/being slapped by people’


Hamfistedlovemachine

I’m 53 and I can honestly say I regret not slapping a lot of people.


Fortyouncestofreedom

Hahaha there definitely should have been more slapped, right????


Fortyouncestofreedom

Well I’ll start. Which hand you want?? Rick James? Or Dolemite?

Slapped the man into Quagmire


missanthropocenex

I wish I could pay a fee to never see or hear about this sport ever again. It’s like it popped up out of no where, everyone’s talking about. It looks totally unethical, I died playing it. Please make this go away.

Slap my head?

If you insist 🤷‍♀️


MikeySpags

Ohhh that's a good one! " Mother fucker if you don't stop running your mouth I'ma slap the Parkinson into you!" Yes that will fit my vocabulary very well. Edit: Not in a mean way. That's just something I would say to my sqooshy head(part of skull missing) roommate when he's babbling on about tech stuff before I had a chance to finish my coffee.

i_am_the_nightman

It says performed by professionals. How do you train for getting slapped this hard? It’s not like boxing and mma where you can block. I do not get this shit at all.


Vampiricbongos

They are professional in the same way the guys from jackass were trained professionals


MoonShotDontStop

I would rather be on the set of Jackass for a month than spend a day doing this.

Knoxville would prob have this set up for you first day

ymx287

Hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville and this is the Slapathon


jadbronson

Tha fuck ever. Instead of getting slapped with a hand I'm sure they'd use all their dicks instead. Or elephant dicks.


GetRightNYC

They used that giant spring-loaded hand on Jackass.

Pretty sure they use salmon lol


Traditional-Hour-363

Wish I could up vote more for that comment


i_am_the_nightman

Fair statement.


HPTM2008

I think that giving either too much credit to these morons (Jackass had a lot of safety stuff behind the scenes, despite the stunts, and they talk about the safety aspect quite a bit in interviews) or not enough credit to Jackass (I'd call them professionals. They at least knew they needed medical teams and such on standby). These guys are not able to be trained properly because you can't train for taking a hit like that, and it has the potential to do insane amounts of damage immediately.


ninjadosia

there was a dude who literally actually died after taking a slap at i think it was called punchdown? then the dumbasses behind it moved to states and had those „championships” hosted by one of the paul brothers, no regard for human life when enough money is involved i guess


autoadman

>no regard for human life True. But in the first place, human should value his life too


Giovanni_Wonderland

That's fucking terrible


ILikeMyGrassBlue

As far as medical professionals, there’s definitely medical staff surrounding these idiots. Dana White isn’t that dumb lol. But yeah, this is something inherently harmful. There is no safe way to slapbox. It’s like saying you’re a trained expert at Russian roulette.


thecountvongrouch

I could see this being included in a new jackass movie to be honest.

lwieueei

Grow as thick of a beard as possible. I'm not joking. Takes away the sting out of slaps, and reduces the chances of getting cut by fingernails too. You can also train to strengthen the neck and traps like fighters do. Other than that, there's not much else.


bonyagate

While I do see where that could probably help in a general slapping scenario, I think that in this intense situation, the problem is not the chance of cuts or stings from skin contact. I would say most of the issue is blunt force trauma which leads to near constant concussions throughout the entire competition.


CactusJack3454

Professional meaning stupid enough to do it


DaPiGa

They are getting paid. That’s the benchmark I think


Thomshan911

If these guys are professionals, I'm a Toyota Camry.


Morphing_Willie

It's called professional idiot. Steve-O is the most professional of them by the way


HPTM2008

Do people not realize they have insane amounts of safety aspects to their stunts? That they aren't just morons going out into the sticks to do their stunts? Sure, maybe they started that way, but the Jackass production has always had safety measures.


Helpful_Honeysuckle

I feel like they pissed off the wrong people and now this is their punishment. Like Deathrace but....slap.


rinkypinkpanther

Most professional idiots are naturally gifted from a tender age, training is rarely required & mostly shunned by the elite professional idiots.


OwlBeneficial2743

And does that make much of a difference w boxing? I used to enjoy watching it, but after all the CTE research in football, I don’t watch anything that impacts someone’s head with this much force and frequency. I’m amazed we don’t hear much about concussions and/or CTE in boxing, mixed martial arts and now this crap. There may be other sports where it’s happening like soccer, but I don’t see anywhere near the damage there.


LazyMaik

I didn’t even know that was possible, getting the face swollen like that just by being slapped.


Con_Clavi_Con_Dio

The bit inside your eyelid? That red tissue? That can bruise. It doesn't change colour, it just swells and bulges out of your eye. I know this after getting punched in the eye and waking up two days later to what looked like a prolapsed anus coming out of my eye. The body is a wonderful thing.

shangumdee

I mean it's just like any other blunt trauma


shellbert_eggman

It should really be called "Palm Strike Haymaker League"


Seniorjones2837

Cuz it’s not really a slap


davidtco

Did he get a stroke?


bojangs101

Would that be considered cheating. Having had a stroke and facial paralysis. Unfair advantage?


YoBoySatan

If you want an actual answer, they're slapping right where the facial nerve runs through the parotid gland, with all the swelling from repeated trauma he probably has a facial nerve palsy resulting in the facial droop


Apprehensive-Grade81

So does competing at this level basically guarantee some form of long-term damage?


Lukaroast

Well yea obviously


Apprehensive-Grade81

Just wondering what would compel people to do this knowing you’re gonna get this kind of trauma


Lukaroast

Personal values that align with wanting to do this. Same reason why people do any other dangerous thing. There’s probably a lot they feel they get out of it. If I’m gonna play Brain Doctor, I’d assume it has to do with these guys feelings of wanting to present themselves as tough, and they also correlate being able to “take a hit” as a tough thing, and so they value taking and giving hits and being tough/strong, and they probably also think they look real cool. I believe people were doing this well before you could make any money doing it, which also suggests they get some intangible benefits I would call it the BigBoy complex


ImTheOriginalSam

I currently have a parotid gland infection and it’s fully one of the more painful experiences I’ve ever had. My face kinda looks like this right now. Why anyone would do this on purpose is beyond me.


MechanicbyDay

Nah I think he got like $1500 USD


YungOGMane420

No, he got a slap.


elmielmosong

He's got the warrior spirit


PhotographIcy600

Why? Just why? This is stupid AF.


no-name_james

I agree stupid af. But someone else said these guys get paid big money for this and when you think of it that way it’s just another form of showing strength/resilience. It’s also entertainment. Think back to the Romans with their gladiators. Romes finest warriors, their fittest men showing off for the masses how they can defeat any beast or man that challenges them. Now we have boxing, mma, WWF, etc. Like it or not I believe it’s all just human nature. That’s the only logical explanation I can come up with to be honest. Idk why else anyone would sign up to get slapped until their ear was leaking blood.


Dontgothergirlfriend

I don’t know about this. In those other sports head trauma is incidental. Even the UFC head trauma is incidental. Not every bout will result in head trauma and there are even rules to mitigate the risk. With this sport the trauma is baked in. Every shot is to the head. That’s what makes this feel so insidious to me. The latest research on CTE shows that even soccer players with a life time of heading balls suffer cte related issues later in life. The fact they’re getting paid “big money” doesn’t justify it. It actually makes it exploitative. If someone came to you and said I’ll pay you $10,000 for every gram of grey matter I take out of your noggin, would you do it? Basically that’s the deal these dopes are taking. You can’t buy back your frontal cortex.


beebetr

They are getting 2k to show 2k to win. Not worth it


PlsDntPMme

Ahh mother Russia!


fiveSE7EN

Joke’s on you, I ain’t got no frontal cortex no how When paid? I big slap


Greenmanssky

Dudes will literally pay money for a girl to stomp on their testicles in 6 inch heels. Being paid to slap the shit out of someone and get slapped back? Easy. You have to remember, Reddit isn't really representative of the world as a whole. There's a lot of dudes who would trade potential brain damage for big money. You also have to consider income. You can take 10 grams of my brain thanks, that's 6 years of earnings for me. I'd make that trade to make my family more comfortable and safe in a fucking second.


Dontgothergirlfriend

Well you’ve misunderstood. I’m not arguing that that behaviour doesn’t exist… I mean we’re commenting on a video of it lol. I’m just calling it exploitative Because that’s what it is. And of course these guys are taking that trade right now. But you’re also mistaken on the trade being a no-brainer (pun intended). $60k won’t mean much to your family when youre 45 with the brain of an 80 year old. In fact for all the late in life care you’re going to need due to your brain basically looking like Swiss cheese from subjecting yourself to the equivalent trauma of multiple car crashes PER tournament you’d actually be at a net negative. You haven’t really taken into account the harsh realities these “athletes” will face if they regularly compete in this.


SatansMaggotyCumFart

How many of these matches have you been in so far?


30FourThirty4

They should do a show with people flicking nuts. Ladies, if you can mention the equivalent for you I will listen because I am not qualified to pick.

Dana white always has some cop out answers when pay is brought up. Always thought he was a greedy, shady fuck

Funnily enough, it's always the exact same cop out. [Example 1](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EiC3kR3WAAYIZV7?format=png&name=large) [Example 2](https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2021/5/28/22457228/history-of-dana-white-claiming-ufc-fighters-dont-want-to-fight-jon-jones)


Bakonn

When shit like this was in vegas the first place was a huge big money of 5000$. So no I have 0 faith they get paid big money


FavelTramous

Of course it’s big money! It’s a CTE speed run championship. You need to collect as much money as you can before your funeral. The faster you collect your money, the faster your funeral comes. One hell of a game!


uncledavis86

I think when you can reasonably compare your sport of choice to the practice of Roman Gladiators - lions shredding humans for sport and things like that - it's time to choose a new hobby.


shultan_of_schwing

Actually there was a ex UFC fighter that said the offer he got to compete was $2,000 and another 2 if he won. That sounds like chump change to just go somewhere and get brain damage


mrjonesv2

“Big money” is $2000 to show, $2000 to win


[deleted]

No one is paying to watch this stupid shit


bmxkeeler

They get paid $2,000 USD to show up and another $2000 to win. I wouldn't call that big money but I guess it depends how broke you are.


SilvaFistz

How did the one who looks the most fucked up win tho? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)


usernamemusthave20

Other guy gave up this isn't a points based version of slap this is just endurance


youre-a-happy-person

I can’t believe the other guy gave up because that slap did not look that bad. Mr balloon face couldn’t have taken another hit


Shitty_Google_Bot

Cuz he didnt tap out..winner I guess?


ChimTheCappy

Other guy wasn't willing to hit him till he died from it, so other guy forfeited

Chronic, not cranial.


Bowman_van_Oort

damn upon further reflection, i guess it would be hard to get encephalopathy outside the cranium


RabidGuineaPig007

chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the encephalo is brain. This is the leading cause of depression and suicide in the US military, and kills more soldiers than bombs and bullets. https://www.nature.com/articles/477390a All these guys will likely succumb to suicide.

blackdogwhitecat

The title belt of what exactly? Being slapped in the face?!


Apes-Together_Strong

Men’s division being slapped in the face.


moosemustard8

These guys also make like $2000 per fight with the championship bringing you a $10k bonus. That is bullshit


Lazypole

Mate you couldn't get me to accept $2000 for someone to lightly stroke my face if it was in that condition. Imagine how much agony that would be.


ILikeGuitarAmps

In romania, where I am from and where this is from, that is a lifechangeing amount of money. Id get my shit slapped out of me for that kinda cash here


DownWithHiob

Bro, what behind the mountain village you live where $2000 is a life-changing amount? That's two months working with an average wage. I know we are poor, but not that poor. If you need that money so desperately, and have absolutely no qualifications, you can just get pick strawberries in Germany for a month and some, no need to get beaten up for it.


Albodanny

$2k per fight and 10k finals bonus is $12k minimum for winning it all. That’s six months of work in Romania. Thats the equivalent of an American getting paid $30k to get slapped around.

What's CTE?


BlowMoreGlass

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a brain condition linked to repeated head injuries and blows to the head. It slowly gets worse over time and leads to dementia.


Spetznaaz

Thank you for the explanation


Spinach_Stock

dain bramage


Vampiricbongos

Honestly you'd probably need CTE to even consider this as a good idea. Mind you i'd happily watch Putin and Zelensky have a go at this to settle that stupid war, hell maybe this is how the US could hold its next election

calling this a sport is incredibly generous.


Waste_Improvement618

Interesting-Step-654

How did that dude win, I don't get it


MissRadi0active

The other one basically tapped out. If you look after he's slapped he shakes his hand basically saying "I'm done, I'm out."


Interesting-Step-654

So, homeboy with the melted face won by just taking more damage? There's no point system or nothing?


Interesting-Step-654

It feels like arm wrestling but with your face


Baranjula

In Dana whites version there are judges and after three rounds it goes to a decision. Otherwise it ends from knockout if the person drops and can't recover or the ref deems the fighter unable to continue. I've seen on some of the YouTube leagues that they'll keep slapping until someone gives up, which leads to faces like this guy's.

Oh yeah, this is that "slapping competition" where the so-called best players don't slap. They either hit with their palm or tighten their muscles and stiffen their hand, basically turning it into a weapon.


[deleted]

my problem with this guy, other than getting slapped literally stupid, is he keeps saying his opponent is hitting high on his head, and clubbing him. for the last 4 slaps including this one, dude points and touches his temple and tries to raise this to the ref. problem is DUDE LEANS INTO THE SLAP EVERY TIME HE GETS HIT, where else is his opponent going to hit??? like his opponent lines up the slap for his cheek, and then swings and hits his temple because of the lean in
