Is It Time To Ban Boxing?
I can't watch boxing (although my Dad was a huge fan of it) because I see it as a brutal sport with blood and gore everywhere and I don't enjoy seeing pain inflicted on others. Therefore, I might be slightly biased on this one. However, fresh calls for a ban on boxing have come in:http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/...035151598.html
Do you think boxing has had its day or do you think it should be there for those who enjoy it?

The problem is with this kind of thing is where do you stop?Boxers risk brain damage
Rugby players risk everything from brain damage to paralysis, as do American Footballers, Bob Sledders, Skiers, Ski-boarders, Motor racing participants etc etc.
Death and serious injuries are by no means rare in my old sports of rock climbing, mountaineering and surfing.
In fact there are very few sports in which the participants are not putting themselves at risk to some extent. If you ban one, do you go on to ban them all? If you do, what kind of boring world will we be left with?
For the record, I love boxing although it's a sport I have never taken part in.
