Helmets are required for amateur boxing, including the Olympics. My guess is that the only reason that they aren’t required for professional boxing is that there are too many governing bodies.
But Floyd Mayweather or Roy Jones? There is plenty of competition, but people aren’t interested.
Anyway, look: I have been a football fan, but these issues have left me with a less than favorable impression of the game. I dont have an interest in supporting a game that causes permanent, long-lasting injuries, particularly when damage can be done at high school and collegiate levels, where players may not have an appropriate understanding of the risks.
I agree. Consulting adults have a choice. This is the basis of America.
