Is wrestling an athletic event or entertainment?

I received a question today that I thought was strange, because I couldn't think why the answer wasn't crystal clear to everyone.  Obviously,  the person posing the question understood that.   But, I really worry why his friends didn't.   It's one of the key reasons I wrote the book, and why some very upright folks get into trouble with the law.   They interpret it the way they would like it to be -- not the way it actually works, or would be looked at by most others, or especially -- the courts.  (also why many pro-gun bills are actually not so good -- a failure to truly understand their implications across the board, or how the courts will likely interpret the language)  Anyway,  here's the question as posed:


"Does a wrestling event like Wrestlemania fall under 790.06 (12) (9), professional athletic event not related to firearms?  I say yes, wrestlers are athletes, and Wrestlemania and Monday night raw are events. My friends say no because they market themselves as entertainment. I think the only difference between wrestling and other professional sports is wrestling outcome is predetermined, otherwise there's no difference between wrestling and football."

So -- here's my answer:

Well -- of course it's a "professional athletic event"!   All professional athletic events involve entertainment -- otherwise nobody would watch them.  That's the answer!

Sorry, if the answer is that simple -- but it is.   Wishfully thinking it's not -- is just plain dangerous, in the sense that if you can take that large of a leap of faith into the Twilight Zone -- you might just do something more drastic that could really get you in serious trouble.  

Stay safe!
