    I mean, if we’re going to keep pretending that dancing around and slugging each other is a “sport,” then it makes sense to have children play it, right?

      Somewhat, though I generally believe that some forms of freedom are appropriate for adults that aren’t for children. For fighting, I think adults have a better chance of understanding the long-term consequences than kids and thus it’s more immoral to let children do it.

      I mean, it is a sport. I have no idea whether it’s good for young children to be doing it though… Isn’t there a lot of CTE risk?
