Gladiator Fights

In Rome to get people distracted, the Roman Empire made Gladiator fights. The life of a Gladiator was like hard. They were first slaves then they were put to fight against animals or other slaves. It was a very cruel life for them to survive. Like in the US today there are many distractions like NASCAR or wrestling. These are similar like the Gladiator fights. We think that people today are not very different from the people in Rome. The people in the coliseums just went there to see people get killed and enjoy the action.
