Boxing is a dangerous sport and doesn't deserve state funding

whats more dangerous

some kid drinking himself out every night getting into fights near every night and ****ing about doing nothing

or

a highly motivated, healthy, fit boxer

i dont even think of boxing as hitting someone i think of it as me trying to score a goal by hitting them my hardest and i want the ref to say i dont need to score any more goals so i throw harder punches. i dont think of it as me and some kid forced to fight each other to the death

 

Very few schools actually teach rugby properly. Just about every rugby injury at lower levels comes from someone doing something badly.

 

What these ****wits do not comprehend is the fact participation is voluntary. Bottom line, whatever the potential results of any endeavour, people should be able to do as they please without god damn Nanny states imposing their will. **** these ****s, thats all I have to say about them.

 

Yes, there are a few dotted around. I pop into one every now and again and have a look at what they're doing. :good

 

when i was boxing a good mate of me and blue died,he was a boxer down at our local am club,it was defo boxing related,he got hit a lot,but a top lad.
it is defo a dagerous sport,but so are most things,we all know the dangers involved,but like the icelandic warrior said,we don't get forced into it.

pete varny,RIP mate

 

It just ****ing incredible the amout of money that UK are spending on ametuer boxing 4.7 million pounds. wow

 

You would think they would be more interested in the other 75 MORE dangerous sports in this country wouldn't you?

In regards to discipline, boxing has more discipline involved than any other sport and the confidence you get from it fasr outweighs any other too. Boxing don't have the spoiled bratts that football and even rugby produces. In all truth I've never met young people with the type of manners that boxers have. There are obviously exeptions (Tyson stands out) but boxing is a sport that usually produces gentlemen. Tessa Jowell obviously a ignorant, not too bright pompas prat.

 

Anybody else shocked that the Guardian newspaper is full of ****s? They get away with this **** because of the ******ed readers that buy the trash.

 

I don't know much about that newspaper but I bet those *******s on tubes who constantly folding their giant papers are reading it.:think

 

I know what you mean, The Sun and The Star are both full of tits as well:blood. The broadsheets' core reading group is just an audience that loves to sneer at others from their tower of self-righteousness. Accept that others are different to you and you aren't always right, you fools!

 

Oh yeah, it's hard to comprhend why anyone would want to read the sun or star apart from look at dirty pictures (kind of dirty anyway, in whicvh case the sport or even porn is better recomended anyway) because it sure isn't for the boxing journalism that's for sure!

 

the guy who wrote it has a little willy.

 

Having participated in 6 contact sports including Rugby, Boxing, MA, football and cross country running and GAA I can honestly say footy and Rugby lead to more injurys. The only danger in boxing really is dehydration but that has been corrected now since the late 90's. What would make boxing even safer would be a unified approach from the 4 governing bodies on international code of conduct for areas such as licensing. E.g. IF boser X I wont name any names, is refused a licence to box in USA, then it is considered interntional not just country specific and so he cannot bypass the opinion of the doctors by getting a license to box in the UK. That's about the only glitch I see right now.

 

Call me a ****** then, because I read it...

The Guardian is a quality paper with some brilliant journalists. I can fully understand the moral argument for the banning of state sponsorship of boxing, the argument to a point is compelling but ultimately in our society, flawed.

But give me a utopia and I would accept the lack of State sponsorship (it is a utopia, we do not need money).
