I feel boxing as a sport is in the dark ages when it comes to inclusiveness. I think part of the reason it's losing popularity with young people today.
obviously the natute of the sport has a lot of toxic masculinity and that's OK, it's always going to be the case, but i feel if we can appeal to the LGBT section of society and make them welcome, it would help a lot.
maybe we could only have ring girls, but ring boys and trans ring girls/boys. The idea of just having ring girls is stuck in the past.
What are some other ideas? Serious suggestions only please because I want to run an online campaign for it.
I know some of you will scoff at the idea but I think we need to be open minded to keep the sport alive. Besides, it's quite a ********** sport. Watching men get weighed in their underwear, commenting on their bodies and wanting one to doninate the other. I think we can really play on that.
