discuss Which sports do you think should be scrapped?

UFC slap fighting.

This is the dumbest and worst sport anyone has ever "invented". Some people were saying it has a lower risk compared to boxing, and that is not true. At least in boxing you brace yourself, duck, weave, and generally avoid the blows.

In slap fighting you do not, and thus you are at a higher risk of different types of brain injuries, including CTE.

I believe that should be scrapped or ended, it will be the UFC slap fighting.

Yes, I totally agree with you on that! I'm one of the critics of the UFC's slap fighting league and it's because of safety and it also lack regulations.

disagree. I believe that we should allow mutual combat.

I don't like that sport personally but I respect your perspective. I did because mutual combat is good for testing our physical strenght and mental limits if it's done safely.

Curling, and UFC slap fighting. I can't believe sweeping a stick is a sport, and same with slapping somebody. Dana White also lies on how many views he gets on UFC power slap.

Slap fighting should be scrapped. I’ve seen a few clips where some of the contestants dropped and had seizures. They’re probably not even getting paid that much to perform.

I agree Slap fight and also Golf because I find Golf boring and still unsure how people are able to play for hours.

I don't even think the nonsense slap fighting have any rules but putting your face up to be slapped very hard. That's very crazy bro.

That's intense! No matter how strong the athlete is, a heavy slap will still have an impact on their health. Who even comes up with such a sport?

Do you by any chance know the amount of money they are paid? For someone to engage in such a deadly sport, they must be paid hugely. Big enough to feed their generations.

They are not paid well enough by my account. Dana doesn't pay his UFC fighters well compared to other MMA companies. If he doesn't pay his real fighters well, he won't pay the slap fighters well either.

I have a bit of a separate reaction to the topic. My take is that it's better to make a reform of some sports that we tagged dangerous. Instead of wiping them off entirely, we could modify the rules to make them appealing and to enhance safety.

From a simple Google search, take this with a heap of salt, they are paid between $10,000 and $50,000 for a typical fight. High-tier athletes can be paid up to $500,000, but these are UFC tier names that bring a lot of eyes to the sport.

 

[Unvarnished]

Slap fighting is a no for me. Another one of the sports that need to be scrapped is bullfighting. It inflicts a lot of pain on animals.

I’m surprised how the athletes have voluntarily agreed to participate in a slapping competition. It's not a good sport to engage in as it can cause mental health issues.
