I ran across this article, and it was so ridiculous, I had to get opinions on it. Basically the premise is that BJJ doesn't look all that entertaining to your average spectator. The person who wrote the short blog basically states that the rules should be changed to be like Judo or MMA, so that when stalling occurs that the fighters be made to stand up or be moved to a more neutral position. Keep in mind that there are some rules for stalling already in place....but what this guy proposes is that the athletes involved in this sport, be made to make BJJ look more visually appealing, like Judo or MMA. I think it's dumb, and the sport doesn't need to change at all to appeal to spectators. but I want opinions. Here's the short article blog.gameness.com/reasons-why-bjj-should-become-more-spectator-friendly/

No, look what has happened to Judo and Taekwondo when they catered for spectators!
