Why do boxers and football players risk cte?

It's what they love doing, literally no bodybuilder gets that big because they want to be healthy. They've accepted somewhere down the road that they're becoming a literal piece of art, and they'll get there doing whatever it takes. People will be screaming "YEAH BUDDY" for decades to come, and that's the impression that he wanted to leave.


Im critical towards pure boxing, too. And if American football carries a significant risk then i so believe a revision of rules could be in place. MMA and especially all kinds of wrestling/judo i find tolerable because i do like watching them and their risks are afaik lower but your counter-argument stands valid nevertheless. The pros also do that stuff for a living, and you could argue that theyre also being somewhat exploited by those who make money off them. This is especially the case with extreme sports sponsors like Red Bull who maintain their brand by funding adrenaline junkies.

I wouldnt go as far as to call them pieces of art... i understand the aesthetic appeal to a very limited audience, but you cant call it art. My problem is still the steroid use. I dont believe its justified anywhere. Natty aesthetics are honestly more aesthetic. We have anorexia for women, isnt reckless bodybuilding at the expense of your health sorta similar? I may be in the wrong forum criticizing this, but i genuinely believe its also good to question this issue in a civil manner

He made more money in each year as a bodybuilder than you'll probably make your entire life, he sacrificed and had probably the greatest time of his life for 20 solid years.

All that wealth is distributed to his family who will never have to worry about anything.

meanwhile you're on an old net code forum for a video game thats 23 years old in a subsection of a subsection talking about how you worship 80 year old men who can do pullups.


Of the 2 people I just described I would rather be Ronnie.


Damn cold facts

You cane back for a 3rd time today.

Ronnie Coleman went to the gym, lifted more than you (With a fused spine), went on 3 podcast, went to a fitness expo in dubai, made $4,000,000 today.

Tell me again how your idol is some 80 year old no name guy doing pullups, weirdo.
