First I will point out that not all sports include violence. Not many actually
express violence, the only ones that do contain violence are team sports. I'm
not saying that I dislike team sports, au contraire I love team sports, they
help build team spirits. All I'm saying is that sports like football contain
lots of violence, unlike individual sports like ping pong or KAYAKING. Some
sports are now becoming so violent that it's almost impossible to remove the
violence without removing the sport itself. Lots of people protest because some
sports are too violent and they're trying to take the violence away by banning
them. What they don't realize is that there are billions of fans that are
obsessed by those sports and by taking a sport away from them, could ruin their
lives. Trying to stop the violence is almost like trying to declare world peace.
There will always be someone who either picks a fight or builds an underground
organization. Football, hockey, soccer, and all those other violent sports will
be practiced until the end of the world. Another reason why I don't want these
sports to be cut is because when you practice a sport like football it helps you
release all that frustration and energy you have inside. By releasing all that
pressure it helps you relax for a period of time. Getting rid of popular sports
like hockey or football could put a lot more kids on the streets because they
would have nowhere else to go or nothing else to do. Some people tell others to
The lone man to be charged with a felony in the incident was Bryant Jackson. He was the man Oakland County Police (OCPD) say threw a chair into the crowd during the fight. He was charged with felonious batter, according to the OCPD and various wire reports. No, this is not just some random fight that occurred, this was an arrest at a recent National Basketball Association game between the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers. This violence is something that is starting to occur more and more. It seems to be a common theme, and one that does not even obtain a double-take, sports and violence the two seem to go hand-in-hand. Professional athletes such as Latrell Sprewell, Todd Bertuzzi, and Ron Artest have made common names for themselves with the violence they have endured in their respective sports.
Some sports are violent by nature. Boxing is the obvious example, where physical attack is the point of the exercise. There has been much debate over the sport with many calling for its abolition. Other sports, such as wrestling and the martial arts, also involve one-on-one unarmed combat. These forms of "violence" are within the rules of the sport and the possibility of injury is well known by participants.
Then there is a range of contact sports, particularly the football codes, where there is punishing body contact within the rules but also the scope for borderline or unintentional "violence" such as late tackles, high tackles and tackles on players without the ball. These tactics can be, and are also, used intentionally. However, the use of video replays over recent years has made these tactics more risky for the perpetrators, especially in professional sports where suspension can lead to a significant loss of income
