Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have freedom to do any sports or activity. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

#people #governments #ban #sports #freedom #activity
According to some people dangerous sports should be banned, while others feel there should be freedom to do any sports or activity. My view on
this
 is, rather than banning any sports, government should regulate the sports to make it safer. Some sports that involve physical contacts are quite dangerous but they are
also
 very popular among a sizable group of the population. Contact sports
such
 as mixed martial arts can cause serious physical harm to the participants. Sometimes accidents happen in the ring that renders the athletes paralysed. But outright banning the sport will not solve the problem of physical harm, it may have the opposite effect. Banning it will only make them go underground, as there is certainly demand for them.
This
 will not only endanger the life of those who participate in it, but
also
 the authority will miss out on a large revenue.
That is
 why authority should focus towards regulating
such
 sports so it's safer for the athletes. If these sports are regulated and brought into the mainstream
then
 they can generate sizable revenue for the government.
That is
 why in conclusion, I feel dangerous sports should be regulated to reduce the chances of any physical harm to the athletes, but
also
 allowed to thrive as a mainstream sport as long as they are abiding by the rules and regulations.
