Boxing should be Banned

[Jochistan]

It's fighting. they know what they sign onto.

Possibly. But why should we let them?

Because it's a productive way of channeling life's difficulties into exercise, practice and skill.

Autonomy in competent individuals who understand the risks and feel the benefits outweigh the negatives. As this is also true on a societal level we allow it.

people should not* be allowed to take such risks, it can result in serious brain damage and death

I fail to see why autonomy in this specific case should be so important

I agree. How pleasant.

Yes it can.

Autonomy is the ethical baseline which you need to provide enough evidence and persuasion to overcome. You're failing to do so.

[Lockdownn]

Why?

Take the Mckamey Manor for example, a horrible legal torture "haunted house". Yet people sign a waiver and go anyways knowing the risks.

Same with boxing, why stop people from doing what they want with their bodies? Seems like any other ban this cause I find it offensive law.

Your rights end when other peoples feels do, I guess.

And that's the case with this shitty open ended document called "the constitution". Of course, if you live in America.

But why ban it if it doesn't effect you? You don't like it, don't participate.

[Salus Maior]

Making threads about banning should be banned.

Well, that attitude could lead places where a society shouldn't go, I think.

But in the case of Sports that involve consenting people, yes. Don't like it, oh fucking well.

[Lockdownn]

As a matter of fact, people like boxing. As well as people who like foot ball, base ball, basketball, etc...There are associated risks that people are most of the time aware of before participating.

You like boxing? Go ahead, I could care less. You get a concussion? Tough shit, you participated.

Just let them do what they want for christs sake.

I just think that things, in a perfect society, would be somewhat clarified, but hey. xD

And if you get injured, well, it's your fault you participated.

During boxing matches, especially by Manny, crime rate > 0 and accidents are virtually unknown.

People get to live for a day.

By that metric, you should be banned from starting threads.

[Plvtowia]

I have always loved the sport. But yes, it should be banned...

Because our current constitution says we're allowed to say and do stupid shit as long as it isn't Illegal. And as long as that's in place. People will continue to say and do stupid shit.

I could die from a countless number of things if I leave my house, should I be banned from doing that?

it depends on a case by case basis, but that is not always the only factor depending on what we are talking about

At that rate nobody should be allowed to take part in any sport since they can all result in brain damage and death.

LULZ @ left-leaning statist/protectionist.

Give one good reason why 2 consenting adults should not have the right to punch each other in the head?

According to IM's logic, humans shouldn't even exist since life itself is so dangerous *nods*

No. Principles do not operate in a complete vacum.

it would in part depend on whether or not the statistics of injury are comparable to those of boxing if we're talking about recreational sports

[The State of Missouri]

Are you sure you aren't a troll?

[Jochistan]

Look, if you really think that Boxing is that bad, you haven't seen anything. Boxing isn't just some ridiculous bloodsport, As I stated before, its a martial art.

It turns violence into something productive. Not only Productive, but healthy. Are there Injuries, Yeah. Life has injuries too.
And sometimes, getting hurt is well worth the risk of enjoyment.

Now, if you'll all excuse me, My White Lightning is up next in the cockfighting ring.

c'mere, Whitey

No. Principles do not operate in a complete vacum.

Then explain the principles and the context of these principles. You have failed to do so in the OP.
