Sports: Where Passion Meets Pain

in Hive Learners2 days ago

Sport is an exercise and in the process of this there will be different or difficult encounters that can lead to danger or harm, when talking about sort, it is a thing that can never be eradicated for our men all over the world, the way ladies love to participate in beauty pageant is the same way men love to participate or watch football.

There is a Spirit in all these activities for men, though I am not a football lover but watching with my brothers made me love football a little, I remember when we were young and still staying with our parents, my brothers preferred football over food, as an African parent, you must stay at home and contribute to the cooking in the house but the reverse is the case if it comes to football, my brothers would go and play ball with their friends and forget about food.

My father was a lover of boxing, no one dared to change the channel whenever my father is watching wrestling, he loved watching this when he was alive and I would always stay behind my father and be shouting haaa, "*** They will kill this man***" but the joy on my father's face when watching wrestling knows no bound, he is a lover of sport but I am sure is favorite sport was wrestling that year.

We know that the danger in it is much especially in boxing, even when I am not the one in the ring but I am outside shouting and feeling Pity for anyone that is going down, I think this should be regulated, there should be other ways that it can be done without bringing pain and agony to the other opponent, I can't imagine someone should slap me not to talk of punching me till I give up, in my opinion, wrestling should be regulated.

Football isn't as obvious as boxing, I love the way football is been moderated, that is why there is a yellow card or red card for anyone who is there to endanger other people's lives but at that, there should be a strict warning against physical contact, people should be mindful of the opponent and play a fair game rather than putting other peoples in danger just for a trophy.

Sport shouldn't endanger people's lives, it is a game and also an exercise, it should be safe for people and not the other way round, everything should be in moderation and it shouldn't be the cause for other people's downfall, my emphasis is on boxing, this sport brings much pain and agony to the opponent if it is truly the way we are seeing it on the screen, my heart always skips whenever I am watching boxing, this makes it unsafe for the viewers not to talk of the person at the receiving end, this should bring no harm to others because it is called sport for a purpose and not to endanger other people's lives.

I love how you highlights the love that men have for sports, comparing it to the way women love beauty pageants. Personal anecdotes about your family members, who were passionate about football and boxing, who shared to illustrate the spirit and excitement that sports bring.

The reality is that it seems like the pain they feel from the heavy pounding is what makes the game fun for them because I keep wondering why people would want to engage in sport that cause much pain. The truth is the problem is not lack of regulation but the sport.

It is a fact that when we work hard for success, when we get hurt in sports, there is definitely pain, but after success, we don't remember it and only happiness is always remembered. Mandatory for people.
