Don't replace fencing, replace something that's further away from bloodsport like soccer where no one even gets injured because they take a dive and start crying if anyone gets within three feet of them
Soccer is the most boring sport in the world and is only popular because you only need a relatively light sphere-shaped object to play and practice. If I wanted to sit and watch nothing happen for an eternity so I could be too bored and distracted for the 10 seconds where something happens, I'd tune in to the livestream of the pitch drop experiment.
I watch fencing because it's fun, the action is short and easy to follow, you get down time between points to process what just happened, and people are getting stabbed.
Don't understand why people think nothing happens in soccer. There's not much scoring but there a lot of other stuff to watch and appreciate if you have even a basic understanding of the game.
Fencing is objectively boring to watch bc it happens to fast to see what's going on, at least on tv
Soccer is just track but most of the people are standing around. Every once in awhile a grown adult trips and cries to try to get sympathy kicks from the ref, which is almost funny because of how humiliating it is. It's like a screensaver. If you wanted to follow a ball around you should just watch table tennis, where every play affects the outcome of the game.
Fencing is objectively not boring, it's literally people stabbing each other and about as close as we get to bloodsport. And again, every play affects the outcome of the game.
What kind of clownery is it to watch people run back and forth for an hour and the score is 1-0? At least be like hockey and make fist fights part of the game. Or be like basketball and at least let the final score be like 100-92.

Soccer is the best and most popular sport in the world though. Nobody watches fencing

Really showing your whole ass by having such a totally backward view of the largest working class sport on earth
"People like it" doesn't mean it's good. People like capeshit.
