Ben’s Sports Take: Atlanta Corporate Fight Night
Atlanta desk jockeys are trading in their wingtips for a pair of boxing gloves as they give new meaning to the term ‘Worker’s Compensation’.
I’m not one who has ever been a big proponent—or even a passive onlooker—of reality television.
The idea that otherwise nondescript people could somehow offer an alternative and illuminating perspective on life simply by carrying out their everyday, mundane routine seems rather implausible.
The bulk of today’s reality shows are fabricated and even scripted in an effort to attract as many viewers as possible. Thus, raising the argument over how realistic reality television really is.
But I’m not here to debate the many foibles of American society that are brought to light by our insatiable appetite for such television programming.
I want to talk about the one thing that most reality shows seem to be lacking these days and the one local event that is certain to have plenty of it: Reality.
Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right?
It’s as if your life has turned into a scene out of Office Space and no matter how hard you try, you can’t escape the doldrums of your 9 to 5.
You’d give anything to add some sense of excitement or variety to your life, but you’re just not sure how to do it.
Does stepping into a boxing ring and going toe-to-toe with someone just as disenchanted with their everyday life as you are sound like something you’d be interested in?
Well, Atlanta Corporate Fight Night is affording some of Atlanta’s business professionals this very opportunity.
And the best part is that you can watch it all unfold.
