My link is from yesterday. If the link regards something from a few weeks ago then amazingly enough, some people haven't seen it from the comments thus far.

Urban Debate League has been a money making scheme for 20 years.

Why does it put a bee in your bonnet?

I remain at a loss for words. Debate used to show mental agility and quick thinking.

One used to argue both sides of a debate during the debate. And the judges would disregard the garbage that was thrown out there in this debate.

This does absolutely nothing to showcase any useful skill.

If this is what debate is now then I would lose every time.

Time for people to start different debate leagues. Leagues where rules are followed and structured arguments win over nonsense.
