>Have you ever watched an American football game, for Pete's sake? Do you have any idea what those guys are doing to themselves? You mean the game where you get to wear one million paddings that makes even skinniest person look buffed up? I would have gone with Rugby as a better example of being brutal. However, you argument still doesn't hold because in these cases you are not self inflicting a damage on yourself. Sure you are more likely to get hurt during the game and have a higher chance of causing a permanent damage but there is a big difference between doing that to yourself just to win a game and being a part of an accident. Whatever happened to the term Sportsmanship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmanship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmanship ? >What I read was an article about people hacking their bodies to get to levels of performance they wouldn't otherwise be capable of. That argument would have a better merit if they were to compete against the "normal" athletes. However they are not, they are competing against people who has similar disabilities and limitations like them. So its will be a fair game if they don't resort to such performance enhancing methods.
