[Breitbart] Those absorbing the slaps in Dana White’s Power Slap League are not the only ones left dazed and confused by the new sport. Bills star wide receiver Stefon Diggs can’t seem to make sense of what he’s watching either.

The Power Slap League, promoted by UFC President Dana White, premiered on Wednesday and showcased a particularly brutal episode where Sheena Bathory knocked out Kortney Olsen.

Diggs commented on the spectacle on his Instagram story.

“This some crazy sh-t right here,” he said. “They be out here smacking the sh-t out of each other.”

“What am I watching? I never watch TV anymore only Netflix and this what be on TV Jesus Christ,” Diggs wrote. “Is this a real sport?”

According to the New York Post, “The UFC-backed league featured individual matches between two opponents who alternate between ‘striker’ and ‘defender’ roles. A striker — determined by seeding or coin toss — has 30 seconds to wind up and deliver a slap, while the defender has 30 seconds to recover. Matches can go from 3-5 rounds, and a defender who is knocked down has a 10-count to get back on their feet and continue. If there is no knockout, judges score each round on a 10-point system.”

Is that a sport?

Everyone will have to decide that for themselves, but it certainly doesn’t require the training, skill, technique, savvy, or preparation time that normal combat sports do. Unfortunately, it also could be far more dangerous to participants than most things we consider to be sports.

That ended their latest discussion
Knocked Heinie a verst,
"But I got to slap first,"
Which appealed to the fair-playing Prussian.

#5 Looks like a quick path to multiple concussions. Boxing at least has body blows.
