Until now, I have not chimed in one way or another on the "banning" of selected sports. However, with the introduction of the word, this thread, potentially, could start veering off in that direction, and I don't wish my earlier POV posts to be misinterpreted as to include the subject of banning.
No problem....if nothing else, I am flexible.
In my opinion, it’s wrong to suggest that one sport should disappear due to the way injury may be caused in it but, at the same time, find others acceptable because they are “challenging, competitive and entertaining†- even though the injury and death in them far surpasses the first. It is better to do what many sports have done, including boxing, which is to develop rules and equipment that will make them safer.
