Boxing- Should it be Banned
Boxing is a brutal sport in nature and it has two men going at each other. Boxing is a sport of the past. It was very popular through the early 20th century and has slowly died down to what it is today. Boxing created such legends as Muhhamed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, and they are great athletes, but when it comes down to it, the whole purpose is to beat someone up. It has become a sport that is dying as more and more information comes out about head injuries and concussions it will lead to discussions and investigations into whether we need to have a sport still going on that is causing diabilites and problems in the future. Muhhammed Ali with age has evident problems from his boxing past. These boxers are developing brain problems that are dibilitating to them as they get older. Getting knocked is not good and that is the whole puropose of the sport. As younger people are more aware of the risks that face them when they box, they might be skeptical about participating in the sport. Personally I do not think that fighting is a sport, it almost is childish to me that we have sports like boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts, because you are putting a humans life on the line more so than any other sport by far.
