To be honest, football could be done away with too and the only people upset about it would be the dregs of society.
If we are wiser than our ancestors, and violence is currently less prevalent, then that should tell you something. It doesn't matter matter what safety precautions are taken. If any amount of intentional violence is required to achieve victory, as opposed to accidental, then it is a primitive game/activity.
I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what sick shit you do behind the scenes while preaching to me about a controlled and relatively safe (considering the activity) competition
There is less violence because of organized sports and competitions
I was involved with violent activities most of my childhood and young adulthood, non controlled
I and many others like me got out of it because of controlled sport and competition
It's not for everyone but there are many that grew up like I did that can greatly benefit from discipline and dedication and trying to get some self control which can be found in sports and martial arts
I became less violent and dangerous the more skilled in matters of my body, heart, and mind I became and I hope it sticks around for the thousands and maybe millions that could turn their life around with help from sports and martial arts
