Boxing and brain damage.

[CGM]

You mean a free safety isnt trying to injure his opponent?
It would come as a hell of a surprise to every single coach in the NFL. One of the first things they teach offensive lineman is to chop block,thats where you throw your weight right in to the other guys knees. In baseball when they teach you to pitch,they teach you to throw at a guy,you mean a hard spherical object thrown at someones head,isnt intent to injure?

Can I respond to this?

OK TM, here is an undeniable fact. Regardless of your feelings about the sport of boxing, striking your opponent in the head such that he suffers an injury (KO) is an integral part of the sport. IT is encouraged and desireable. It is allowed. We applaud it. Even when it doesn't end in KO, do it enough times and you get brain damage.

Deliberately throwing a baseball at someone's head is against the rules. It will get you tossed out of the game. Hell, a couple of pitches that even come close to a batter's head will get you tossed.

See the difference?

But yet it happens in every game almost
And what happens to a wide reciever if he goes over the middle when a safety is sitting in Zone Coverage.
If you said practically having your head removed from your shoulders,you would be correct
The NHL has an entire class of players called thugs,that are only in the league to wallop people,they arent great skaters,they have minimal puck handeling ability,but they can level a guy

Actually no, you do not get baseballs deliberately thrown at someone's head almost every game. You are just making statements out of thin air. And baseball players wear hard hat's with webbing on the inside. The issue I am making is one of intent and the rules of the game. You can have great baseball without blows to the head and body. Last time I checked, you cannot have great pro boxing without those things. You can't argue against that point.

Boxing and other martial arts is unique in that repeated blows to the head is a natural and desireable part of the game. It's how you win or lose. It is allowed and encouraged by the rules. Repeated blows to the head is not allowed and encouraged by the rules in either baseball or football. This is FACT. You can't argue this point.

Focus on this issue TM. I'm talking about what is and is not allowed and encouraged by the rules.
