Some people think that sports involving violence, such as boxing and martial arts, should be banned from TV as well as from international sporting competitions. To what extent do you agree?

#people #sports #violence #arts #tv #competitions
Several people believe that
games
 that promote violence shouldn't be telecasted on television and should be removed from international competitions.
However
, I believe that sporting
events
 like wrestling shouldn't be banned as they would teach important things discipline, dedication, and in some war-prone countries
such
games
 bring peace. The TV shows which involve using martial arts to fight like the WWE and MMA are popular among the younger generation.
Youths
 that aspire to become a wrestler after watching WWE would understand that they would need to train daily and would need to follow a strict diet to prepare their body for
such
 sporting event. By training regularly
youths
 would be healthy, even if they did not succeed in the sport.
Secondly
, in the countries that are prone to war, international sporting
events
 like the Olympics which has
games
 like boxing would distract the people as they would focus more on preparing for these
events
 to make their nation proud.
For example
, we witnessed in Syria the
youths
 involved in violence reduced after they won their
first
 Olympic gold in wrestling in 1984, as more people have started to take up the sport to make their nation proud
instead
 of focusing on war. In conclusion, sports that involve fighting teaches
youths
 the essential qualities of life and make them healthy.
Moreover
, even in the countries that involve in violence
such
games
 actually promote peace. So sporting
events
 that include fighting shouldn't be banned.
