Why I will never be a fencer...

I've never watched fencing before but I saw a few matches today. What threw me off was the screaming every time they got a point. It just looks stupid. Apparently the reason is to convince the judges that they got the point. But I don't care. They way it plays out (I was watching women's fencing) they just look like some rich girl throwing a tantrum. High pitched screaming and fist pumping and... it's just embarrassing to watch.

On top of that, while there seems to be a lot of athletics involved, I think I prefer contact sports. I've never really thought about it like that. But in this sport all you try to do is touch your opponent with the tip of the sword. The judo and boxing look a lot more appealing.
