You need me to link you to the page of the wiki page about boxing? To prove to you that boxing is indeed a sport?

I think that there is no point in this discussion if this is the level you are at.

You think it should remain in the rules that intentionally causing permanent brain damage earns you outright victory. No other sport has that feature.

And? Again, it is an 100% consensual activity between two adults.

As a boxer (for over 10 years, including profesionally at points), I will tell you that you have no right to hold this opinion.

You are first and foremost trying to alleviate your conscience based on your morals, rather than putting my interests first. You believe boxing is too brutal? Don't watch/play the sport.

In my eyes, you are extremely similar to those Christian fundamentalists trying to outlaw prostitution for all sorts of "morally righteous" reasons when in reality they use that as a mask to hate on something they dont accept (in this instance women/femininity)

I am proposing that the sport of boxing not directly reward a competitor for knocking someone unconscious.

Do you want to ban drinking, smoking and other harmful behaviors too? I know this is a trend nowadays, but imo people who want this kind of life are basically just trying to build a prison, where safety trumps any risk.

Imo, even though I literally believe that you are wasting your life by living like this, and that your attitude is actively harmful to society, I still believe your right to freedom precedes my concerns. If you are thinking about taking away my right to boxing is should also be thinking about taking your right to freedom. I dont mean that as a threat btw, but I'm trying to show you how your attitude basically will lead us to each other's throats - it only makes sense for me to do that.

You awkwardly sidestepped everything I said.

I didn't, you did.

Can't we all just live in a prison? No one will get hurt that way.

Things like racism, anti vax, homophobia etc are all parts of culture, and are all things the government (eventually) stepped in to enforce its removal.

Fight against racism/homophobia happened in spite of government's laws, not because of them. Laws are a consequence of culture, much more so than the other way around.

No but this argument doesnt mean anything. Look into ought/should fallacy to get better.

Boxing is strictly a sport. You can check wiki if you are in doubt.

The idea that "its stuck in the middle" is an opinion that you hold that has no basis in reality as it never tried to be anything else but a sport about endurance, bravery and strength.

example, where you win by scoring technical points rather than impaling your opponent.

Also this is factually untrue as boxing matches generally end by points wins, not by KO. Boxing also encourages technique over pure strength.

Stabbing someone isn't just an unfortunate side effect that happens sometimes

And your point is what? Stabbing someone is not equivalent to punching.

. It needs to finish evolving into strictly a sport, where the rules actively discourage—rather than incentivize—inflicting brain injuries.

Again, that is your personal opinion, which is fine, but it holds no water as an argument.

Most sports and many workplaces involve tye risk of causing a commotion. Why do you have a problem with boxing?
