New Scientist - 'Ban Boxing'

I stopped reading after "A sport whose sole aim is to cause brain damage to another person is not a "noble art". "

That is ignorance at its worst. I say that because it's a "scientist" that said it. Any scientist should take the time to learn the basic facts of what they are about to study.

 

new studies have shown American Football is more dangerous in the long run than boxing

 

New studies ...& old horse sense.

 

A neuroscientist should be smart enough to know when he is talking bull****.

Ban boxing and you just get more youths ending up in juvenile detention centres, more unemployment and illegal, unregulated and more dangerous boxing matches. Not to mention it would be a breaking of the right for people to pursue happiness. And that combat and getting satisfaction from it is something that is hardwired into human DNA. I could tell you that from common sense and reading the wikipedia page on anthropology. Surprising a brain scientist wouldn't know that.

Tons of sports and hobbies are dangerous. People chose to pursue them. Why not ban him writing stupid articles he know's very little about.

 

:yep

 

John Hardy a white scientists

John Hardy you dumb mother****er if it weren't for boxing which enabled Muhammad's meteoric rise to be the #1 sportsman of the 21st century, we would have gone bankrupt from Vietnam, still had segregation and your ass would be out of a grant to do your research

Keep your stupid white mouth shut. We need less old white males giving advice and more Asian Americans in power.

 

Can you imagine if at the peak of the Roman Impire some doctor would say "Ban gladiatorial sport cause it can cause death?".. Jesus Christ this world is becoming more gayer and gayer... Like how many fokking boxers are there compared to the number of football players in high school college and the NFL? Football is as bad a any other sport...

 

Scientists gave up the nuclear bomb! I think that causes more damage than boxing!

 

which part do you not understand?

 

Look at the NFL. They are improving safety by tweaking the rules. Not because they care for the athletes, but because of money: lawsuits and the monetary affect of losing star players to injuries. Boxing would do well to show it has some clue about fighters health. Perhaps changes to the "day before" weight in to prevent what Canelo will be doing to his body this week, changes to the gloves, longer suspensions after KO's, more thorough physicals, etc. Sports need to evolve, without losing their essential character. The human ****fighting known as MMA/UFC will also have to move forwards and improve fighter safety.
