Fitness Professionals Association
It should ban boxing?

Boxing is a very popular sport enjoyed by millions worldwide. It is also a dangerous sport. Over 1000 boxers have died during or just after the fights in the last hundred years. Many more have been damaged for life by injuries in the boxing ring. Some of these victims were professional boxers who made their life in sport. Others were fans of boxing for fitness and fun rather than money. Sometimes it seems to be only a blow that does the damage. In other cases, seems to be the overall effect of hundreds of shots in many fights. For these reasons, associations of physicians speaking on behalf of physicians around the world have called for a ban on boxing. What do you think? It should ban boxing?

Unlike any other sport, is intended to Boxers physically harming their opponents by knockout or by the operation of the cuts around the eyes. It's barbaric that in modern times to allow people to intentionally cause injury to others for the sake of public entertainment and private nonprofit. At least the professional boxers must be compelled to use the guards head, the rounds should be shortened and perhaps the head (as the main source of injury) must be removed from the target area. As a first step, professional boxing, the least, should be prohibited, as is already happening in countries like Sweden, Cuba and North Korea. Even if adults want to fight each other for sport, violence should not be encouraged for financial reward. Celebrity glamorises given to boxers and legitimizes violence in society. Along with violence in the ring fights often break out in press conferences and even within boxing locations. The marketing of boxing exalts senseless violence and those who commit it, boxers are not models role of which we should be proud. I would ban boxing. I ban contact sports. I would like to end the fight game. I believe that violence is unacceptable.
