Uhm, they would cheer even if they knew. Most people know boxers get brain damage, nobody gives a shit.

- acct1771 9y agoCorrect. Which is why my argument is, if we're going to keep having blood sports, let them use the drugs to improve their muscle mass to hopefully protect them slightly better from this stuff, improve recovery/rebuild time, and make the game more exciting, surely.
- rgbrenner 9y agoBut that would also allow them to hit harder.. and there are no muscles around the brain to protect it from impacts or prevent it from moving. I don't see how that would make brain damage less likely.
- smt88 9y agoAdding mass will increase the force. That's the opposite of what would protect the players. A better solution would be weight limits and stricter controls on doping, not looser.
- banku_brougham 9y agoBoxing is not as popular as it was.
- dragonwriter 9y agoYeah, but that has to do with MMA not brain injury.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoHow long has boxing been fading? When did MMA begin?
