I watched the Knights of Valor (full contact jousting troupe) perform at the Glengarry Renaissance Fair a month ago.

It was the most exciting sporting event I have ever seen. I want it normalised in arenas where the knights have sponsorships and good insurance.

If I recal, only lords or people from royalty where able to not only afford the armor but they where the only ones who could compete...

So the jousters would be congressmen right?
