Banning Boxing (against)
According to the British Medical study The Boxing Debate, 361 deaths have occurred worldwide in the ring since 1945(NHMRC). Boxing is way below some other sports such as football when contact sport fatalities are compared. You don’t see people trying to ban high school or college football. Of course not. The general public would not tolerate it. So why is boxing targeted as such a negative sport? Many say it is because the object of the sport is to purposely harm your opponent by inflicting blows to their head and body which can in turn lead to serious injuries, especially to the brain. Boxing is not the only sport where physical injury is the objective. Many martial arts have sparring versions that have been going on for many years. Kickboxing, Karate, Judo, and Tae kwon do are all competitive contact sports just to name a few. So if you were to ban boxing you would have to ban these sports too. So, do we have the right to ban a sport that is just as competitive and dangerous as any other?
