TV like this is why there is a culture divide, dude.

Oh, it’s a sports story. Gladiatorial combat was the NFL of the ancient world. If you don’t know, now you know.

Modern-day Romans have dressed up like ancient gladiators for decades for tourist cash. Kind of like Darth Vader pacing up and down Hollywood Boulevard.

Apparently, the competition has been fierce between different groups of gladiator impersonators. Assaults and intimidation have become the norm as impersonators struggle for the top spots outside the Roman Colesseum, the Forum, and other famous ancient venues. Police are now going undercover – that is, cops dressed up like gladiators – to crack down on the warring factions.

Video highlights after the jump. 

God bless the Internet. Only here – in the virtual world – can a forgettable blooper of a ballplayer bailing after chasing a foul ball transform into 47 seconds of Kubrickian agony and ecstasy.

You will probably laugh and/or cry upon first view, depending on how seriously you took your Sunday Night drinking.

In a world that is now very nearly perfectly weird, Pee-wee Herman visited Dallas Cowboys training camp.
