April 6th, 2015 ZEUS’S LAIR
It’s no secret that Greece is currently harboring somewhere
in the realm of 300 billion dollars in debt (starting with the truth). With a
myriad of international debt collectors and knee cappers knocking on their
door, the country has been forced into action. Greece has finally found a plan
to chip away at the mountain of debt they have created for themselves (Mt.
Olympus Credit Union?)

Sometime around the 1st century the Roman Empire
implemented a sport that would both provide entertainment to the depressed
masses, and generate wealth for the empire (that’s also true, man we’re on fire
today). This sport was of course known as Gladiator Combat. The president of
Greece (picture not provided as they were too poor to send us a photocopy, and
we’re not going to accept another collect call from Greece, because let’s face
it, they’re never paying us back), has begun the process of legally reinstating
Gladiator Combat as an official sport.
Many are opposed to this reinstatement, calling the idea “barbaric”
and “childish”, but Grecian officials have sent out a blanket statement for naysayers:
“You got any better ideas?” The resolution is set to pass through the Greek legal
system with ease, as most of the legislative bodies have recently been
accepting payment in the form of IOUs and are anxious to regain financial
stability.
Countries such as Australia (nature’s boss level) and North
Korea (because they are the best at every sport; North Korean Census, 2015)
have already developed scholarships for student athletes to compete in Greece’s
games. It is unclear yet whether or not other countries will follow this trend,
but one thing’s for sure: football just got a whole lot lamer.
