I know many people bet on boxing matches and I recently saw a post on an "slapping tournament". I was thinking that professional boxing is kind of questionable as a sport discipline and even more so as a gambling event. It is known that many boxers sustain long term effects of repeated micro-trauma and even some have been know to die in the ring. For all boxing fans and for others that may have a view on this, how is this being considered a fully legal activity being supported? And how is betting of people hitting each other being considered as legal and ethical in today´s world?
Back in the olden days it was savagery back then because there is too much blood pour in the ring and they are fighting to the death, but now we are in a modern era, it's now based on science and arts, boxing and other contact sports now are more regulated, before you get into the ring you have to fit and in the best of health and undergone a lot of physical examination, and we have a referee to stop the fight anytime and check for any hard blows and conditions of both fighters and of course we have doctors to oversee the general condition of both fighters.
Contact sports is now an art that represents strength, speed and toughness that represents everything that we want to be and admire, science and arts made it legal now.
