If they ever do ban boxing, believe me that many more deaths and serious injuries would result from the prohibition. It is human nature to be in battle as well as human nature to need to view these 36 minute wars. If they banned boxing it would just go under ground, where there would be no regulation, no medical supervision and no mercy.
You will never get rid of boxing. If the AMA wants to carry on about banning it they can, they would just see more counts of serious injurie or death from the game going under ground.
Why does boxing even exist? Because whether or not we want to admitt it, living in a supposedly civilized society, it has to do with human nature.
Supported by a culture that values physicality and manliness, boxers pursue a sport at once scorned and glorified for its violence by a confused people who have pridede themselves on civility and modernity but who cling to atavistic instincts. Boxing reflects societys fear of and need for violence, which is why reform movements that have attempted to sterilize and conventionalize "unneccesary" brutality have often been counter productive.
It comes down to we are human beings. With a need to compete in and view violent acts. There is no question that boxing is a violent sport, but again if banned, would only go underground with no regulation or supervision.
Boxing, whether the so called civilized society likes it or not, is here to stay.
Rockin'
