Should Combat Sports be Banned?

Should Combat Sports be Banned?1. Should physical armed chip sports be banned?Ans Introduction Combat sports have been in existence in different forms for more than 2000 years. With high risks prevailing is such sports and the nature of aggression demonstrated on the sporting arena, ethical issues have come up whether in a modern civilized society there is a billet of such activities. Measures have been adopted to minimise the risks to participants yet the demonstration of skills in such thrilling fashion has been under criticism. There are both dazzling and dark cases of these sports but whether to eliminate them or not is the major debate.Definition of Combat Sports Combat sports may be defined as sports wherein two individualistic combatants fight each other using contend techniques according to a set of prearranged rules.Competitors use different techniques in different forms of Combat Sports, but the intent of any contest is to subdue the opp unrivalednt. The question a rises here that is it ethical to allow such a sport where the main intension is to harm your obstructer.The Dark lieu of Combat Sports The first thing that strikes into ones mind while saying about the dark sides of such sports is morality.1. Morality As said earlier, is it morally correct for one human being to attempt intentionally to harm the brain of the other as in boxing. It might be true that reckless tackles are make in sports like American football, Soccer, ice hockey etc and also body line bowling prevails in cricket which sometimes result in sedate injuries but one does not win the game by doing so. Where as in physical combat sports one can win only by hurting the opponent and that too so seriously that the opponent cannot continue to take part in the game anymore.2. Impact on society The stupor of such sports on the society can be viewed in two different ways. Combat sports practice Evidence of unlicensed boxing events exist where force out has reached its extrem ities but it may be argued that a sport, which is explicitly a stimulation of actual combat and which has clearly defined boundaries is less of a threat to the loving order than such evidences. Another issue evolved which argued if participation in a combat sport results in increase of violence and aggression in a human being. But different researches have shown increase in social and emotional awareness among the participants. Viewing Combat sports The effect of excessive media exposure of combat sports does have a positive impulse of violence in some people but for the vast majority of the population exposure to aggression and violence as a passive spectator is considered to have negligible impact on peoples social behaviour. The Value of Combat Sports Notwithstanding the violent nature of combat sports, good can be found in them just like any other sport. Any form of combat sport has the potential to rectify physical health and well being. Higher physical competence and ability to defend ones own self can be considered as the positive side of combat sports. Combat sports can also acts as a medium of self-expression and human bonding. Contrary to popular belief, winning is not the sole objective of bit contests. Value is given to what can be learnt from the opponent, be it in victory or defeat.Conclusion Considering the fact that sport where the principal intent is to harm your opponent and with the high risk of fatalities and serious disabling injuries involved, the question arises both from the ethical and safety point of view as to whether or not combat sports be legally banned. In my opinion, before considering a legal ban and forcing the sport underground, each combat sport should be given the opportunity to review its rules for competition. For example, fighting within predetermined weight class, only one fight per night etc.
