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?
It depends on the country, in some countries it's allowed and being shown public and in other countries it's illegal and only done in hidden places. People like violence and like to see it and also like to bet on it. As for boxing or slapping tournaments, the athletes know the rules and long term consequences beforehand. And even though it is bad and people actually die from the sport, there are still plenty of people doing it. Also what about all the animals fighting against each other and people bet on it? This is morally wrong too.
this are considered as SPORTS so having that i think there is no way that this will be not allowed in some country though the Betting is it that being banned in some countries that does not allow gambling but in totality ? it is the sports that we are talking here .
because to like it or not even if my country eventually banned betting in public still we as friend or social media groups will still organized to bet in our favorite boxers or sports and this will never be stopped.
think of your favorite thing to do that in all of a sudden will be forbidden ? do you think it is easy to achieve ?
