It was intended as sarcasm (i.e. saying the opposite to make a point). It isn't, in my opinion, okay to ban one sport because people don't care for the way injury may be caused in it but, at the same time, suggest that injury and death are acceptable in others because those are “challenging, competitive and entertaining”.
