My other explanation to this is that the OP is simply on the NS payroll, deliberately making ludicrous posts to stir up debate and keep the activity on NSG going.

It is abhorrent that we have gotten rid of the Colosseum but maintain boxing. The fact that it ''entertains'' people is a very dark commentary on what Western society has devolved into. Society should not allow profiteers (match hosts, corporations, advertisers etc) to make big bucks by encouraging and promoting people to fight each other as a spectacle. People have gotten hurt and will continue to get hurt; it is also a shameless promotion of violence and physicality, tasteless in all respects.

I believe that boxing should be banned. It would be for the boxers' own good.
What do you think?

You can dispute what is or isn't bad for a person.
What I am not okay with (because it simply doesn't follow logically) is for people to say like the previous poster...
''Just because something is bad doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.''
Because that just makes no sense at all. If you said ''I don't think its bad for you'' or ''I don't think its bad for every single person'' and then provide reasons, we have something to talk about.
But if you're going to go... ''Well it IS bad''... BUT... it doesn't follow that you shouldn't do it... you have completely lost me.
Because there is no logical scenario where you can accept something to be Bad and then go on to say... ''well it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't do it.''
You can't reach that second part unless you are disputing that it is not bad.

It doesn't really follow all too logically
Second Blazing doesn't dispute that it is Bad (not in the quote anyways), he's disputing the conditional that follows from something being established as bad. And I don't agree with the conditional.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

In an truly equal society similar violent sports shouldn't exists, because such things encourage violence and toxic masculinity.

How the hell can you box if there is no contact allowed?
Do you just dart around the ring glaring at one another?

Tell me this, do you have a right to dictate what people do or do not do? Do you think you have a right to ban things just because you, personally, do not like them? Because I hate guns. That however doesn't give me an absolute right to tell others not to use guns, especially when it's their protected right.
