For ancient times the sports are one of the important part of entertainment. It is fun for both the player as well as the audiance. People love to see their favourite team winning the game ad that fill them with excitement and joy. The sports in the past were more dengerous then today's time asany of them are without any regulations and is wild like wrestling, which causes major enjoy or death of players also some time. Now days most of the sports are regulated and well managed by the respective bodies but still some sports mainly which has the physical contact (also called as contact sports) still has the danger involved for the players. We can not ignore the thrill and fun the produced for the audience but they are one of the dangerous sports for example the boxing and the wrestling. Such sports required the continuous contact of players with each other and that make them dangerous, the boxing isball about punching the opponent and the wrestling is also similar requirement. The people need to be specialized to participate and compete in such sports. No doubt as compared to past contact sports become safe because of the rule and regulations but still they have certain level of danger for the players.

During our childhood memories and my brother use to act like a wrestler and try to lift and throw each other but not on floor, we use to do all this activity on bed which has good cushion. So the risk of such sports is not limited to the players only but also for the kids and adults watching them as theyvalso try to copy the stunts without any safety gear. Such activity without any safety gear may casue the serious injury to the people performing them.
I am not a big fan of the contact sports and use to play cricket and our local style kabaddi. Every Indian loves the cricket and you will find that the game played i ln almost every street of the country. Cricket is a game which has less contact of players but the batsman has to face the speedy leather ball always. Let me share a incident happened during my childhood when we were playing the cricket. The game is all about the batting, bowling and fielding. The bowler plays an important role and mostly the bowler may be a fast bowler or spin bowler. One of our friend was good in fast bowling. One day when we were playing and he was bowling and unfortunately the batsman got hit on his head by ball. My friend who was bowling got scared and from that day he stop bowling fast. The cricket is not considered as the dengerous sports but their are some incidents that proof that their is always a denger im all sports, yes the level of denger is different and ofcourse the those has the contact of players has more dengerous.

As I mentioned the contact games in past were more dengerous, if you have watched the gladiator movie then you can correlate it. They were more wild and ofter ended when one player knocked out. Over the time they got regulations and become more after as compared to the past. Is their a requirement of the further regulations to make them more safe. If you ask the similar question in past (ancient time) to someone they may be answered that the regulations may be spoil the fun in such games. And if you have similar question to some one today then you will get the same answer. That means the people get use to what they watch in sports. Some one may says now that the regulations may spoil the fun but if we will ask the same question in future for further regulations then you will also get the same answer because they will use to watch and fun in sports with current regulations at that time. I am not a big fan of the contact sports like wrestling and boxing. But their is good number of fans for such sports and yes players also know the denger involved in such games. That is their choice so imposing more regulations may not be good option.
