It seems that most of the talk about concussions focuses on football, with some discussion devoted to soccer. This is a major issue, and these sports should be heavily in the discussion.
However, in most sports, concussions and injuries are a byproduct of the game/sport, and not the purpose. Boxing, on the other hand, as well as other “fighting” sports, has the sole purpose of hurting another human being. I’ve said for around 30 years that boxing should be banned, and with all of the evidence being uncovered about brain injuries during the concussion discussion, how can there not be an outcry to ban boxing and other “sports” where the sole purpose is to hurt another human being?
In other sports, rules can be changed to try to minimize the amount and severity of injuries, but in boxing and other “fighting” sports, that is the purpose. This is barbaric.
