Today‚ I will bring to your attention the recent gladiator protests against oppression before their battles. During these protests‚ approximately 800 gladiators kneeled down‚ locked arms‚ or did not come out into the arena before their battles‚ an action of disrespect to me. These gladiators have only one task‚ to fight for our entertainment. They do not have the right to express their opinions. This is an issue that must be fixed immediately because if we do not‚ then they will rebel against us

Every day we read newspapers and magazines. Every day we watch television news broadcasts and hear short news briefs on the radio. Every day we are influenced by the media. The U.S. press has almost always delivered the facts‚ or at least what it perceives to be the facts‚ to the people. I do not dispute this.

Gladiators of Rome Throughout the film we met six different gladiatorial types‚ the Samnite‚ Hoplomachus‚ Murmillo‚ Secutor‚ Retiarius‚ and Thracian.
