This is true. When you had to worry about breaking your hand, you couldn't transfer as much momentum into your opponent's skull, which is what bruises the brain
I completely agree with you. If I had children I would firmly refuse to let them do boxing or tackle football. Unfortunately, overwhelming evidence of direct harm seems to not be enough for many people to ban these sports
I feel like something your post is leaving out about boxing is how we fairly recently (last decade?) learned about CTE, how fucking scary it is, and how boxing puts you at a very high risk for it.
Long term I don't really see how the sport survives in its current form
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. The American empire sat back and let the USSR and the Chinese communists take the vast majority of casualties to defeat those rival empires then made them into imperial vassals?
I think it's representative of intellectual cowardice which is why I made my comment. It is entirely consistent with my experience when commenting on a .world post and calling out Liberalism's "true face".
Part of the reason to use the word is to expose liberals to the idea that they are not in fact the Left and their policies support capitalism at every turn
