Violent Sports and Its Negative Effects

Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took, and your name in the undertaker book. says Joe Frazier, an American professional boxer. This quote shows how extreme some sports can be to the extent where people risk their lives just for fame and money, without caring about what they leave behind them. Violent sports like boxing are all about beating each other and kicking one another, which might lead to several physical injuries. However, some people see it as a way to gain self-defense abilities and staying fit. They also claim that accidents may occur in any type of sports just like football or basketball. Moreover, they think that it can be safe if rules are followed. Hence, violent sports should definitely be banned all over the world, because of its bad impact on children, as well as the serious injuries it may lead to, and the psychological shook as well.

Boxing, wrestling, and other violent sports have a strong influence on children. To emphasize, when kids start to watch these kinds of sports, they will eventually become more and more violent thinking that self-defense is only about hitting the other person until things get bloody. Furthermore, these sports teach young people savagery and inhumanity by showing them that it is totally normal to fight and be violent. Young children tend to imitate what they see on television not knowing the dangers of it, especially when these kids don't have adult supervision to enlighten them that such violent scenes should not be imitated. This issue is why many stories about children getting hurt trying to do what their favorite idol on television does have went viral. After watching sports like boxing or wrestling, they will most likely redo the moves they see while playing with friends just because famous people do them. Hence, this may lead to deadly results.

Moreover, these sports might lead to serious injuries and even death at some point. And even though death rarely occurs, fatal accidents are still a possibility in these sports, and no one seems to care about it. People are putting their lives at risk just to become famous and rich, without even thinking of their families, friends, and all the people that care about them. In addition, repeated beating might cause a lot of troubles such as broken bones and internal bleeding. For instance, when two persons are fighting, there's a big chance of getting injured. And the injuries that boxers get sometimes last a lifetime. For example, if one gets hit on the eye really hard, that might totally damage it, to the extent where the person might become blind.

Let's not forget the fact that allowing these sports would absolutely lead to psychological issues that a wrestler or a boxer would go through in their lives. For instance, if one of the players lost against the other in front of thousands of people, it will definitely become really difficult for this person to withstand the audience's reaction towards his loss. Therefore, this person would lose his self-confidence, and might not be able to perform as usual, which might lead to a lot of psychological issues such as depression and anxiety, due to all the negative and hurtful things people might say about him. Consequently, many athletes would resort to medication and drugs in order to bear the pain and pressure they're going through due to stress. So, this should be one of the reasons that encourage people to ban these kinds of sports.

However, a lot of people have a different point of view concerning these sports. To emphasize, they think that boxing, wrestling, and other similar sports are the best way to enhance a person's strength and to stay in shape. However, there are plenty of other ways for someone to stay fit, and that is by working out and practicing sports that don't include beating and kicking other people. Therefore there would be much lower chances of getting injured. Another thing that people believe in is that accidents always happen no matter what sport it is, and that if rules are followed, it can be safe. But, it's obvious that accidents that happen in violent sports are without no doubt so much more harmful and deadly than the one's that happen in any other sports since they include violence and savagery. All in all, violent sports should absolutely be banned in all countries all over the world because legalizing them would not only promote violence among children, but it will also increase deaths rates and serious injuries, as well as psychological issues. That's why people should choose sports that teach teamwork and self-discipline instead of choosing sports that teach violence and inhumanity.
