Fighting in sports


Should fighting in sport be banned?
          
        Watching sport is a fun and entertaining, especially if there is some fist fight inside. Many of people who watches sport like hockey are expected to see a brawl once or twice in the game. Fighting in hockey makes the game more exciting to watch and fights is why so many people are attracted to watch hockey, but on the other side, fighting in sports has a very dark side. Fighting in sport is usually a fist to fist fight, mostly targeted on the head since it is the biggest target both physically and visually. When a person suffers a huge force to the head, they usually suffer a condition called concussion. Concussion is when the brain hits the side of the cranium. Usually this action damages the brain. When this happen people get nausea and will be prone to headache. Other side effect is nervous damage. The nervous damage is why concussion is dangerous to sport. Nervous damage causes depression which most of the time leads to suicide. In sports, fighting is still there is because the audience love it and the sports team have to keep it going to attract and not loose any customer. But fighting in sport is causing death to the player. Few years ago, three hockey players who were involve in a lot of fist fight during their career died. Usually they death is from suicide and/or alcohol/drug abuse. Asking the question, so is it necessary to ban it? If it was ban then the player have longer career span but the drawback is less people watching. If it wasn’t ban then it vice versa. In conclusion fighting should be ban or at least tightly control so ones favourite player can have a longer and better career span.
