I think it's the thought of deliberately targeting the head area that I can't stomach. My guideline is 'would I want to see my son being punched in the head or causing hurt deliberately that way and the answer is a big NO'! (He does play football...)
I forbade him to buy a motorbike when he was 17 and thankfully he grew out of wanting one. Maybe I'm an over protective Dad...  |
I have forbidden both my son and my husband from getting motorbikes
I get what you mean about intent and I understand why you wouldn't watch these sports because of that but it still doesn't take away from the fact that more head injuries occur in Football and Cycling than in these sports
