Once again a proposal to ban boxing is in the news. Boxers sustain a lot of head injuries. Some don't have much to start with, so a carreer in the ring is their only chance of success. John Hardy is just another one of those people who wants to eliminate chances of success for poor people. I say that because I don't often see rich kids becoming pugilists. With out boxing, we'd have never known the wit of gassious Cassius Clay, the draft dodging punk kid who became Mohammed Ali. I doubt we would have George Forman grills either.
The kids need to know the risks, but between being shot in a drive by. or getting beaten in the ring, some don't have much to choose from. Keep boxing, its more entertaining then a drive by, and less likely to hurt bystanders.

I took an immunology class in 1995 in which the teacher said that punch drunk was from breaking the blood-brain barrier and the individuals own immune system would then have at and start attacking the brain. The brain is one of 5 areas in our bodies that the immune system has no normal access to. Our testicles is another area.
Thats true Greg, and we have known it since 1928 or before. Football, soccer, just about anything that exerts forces on the skull can cause permanent damage. Keep people informed so they can decide for themselves whether to participate, watch, or support such sports.
I am just sick of whinny idiots wanting to make life decisions for us.
