Essay about sport

While some people believe that extreme sports should be prohibited, others consider that people ought to choose any kind of sport they want to. Although there are two sides to this debate, I think that adults deserve to choose the type of activity they want to participate in despite the potential risks.

The first argument for a ban is supported by the fact that teenagers and sometimes adults may not be fully aware that they could be risking their lives with these types of activities. Human life is precious and family members would be devastated if their loved ones died or became disabled due to participation in extreme sport events. In addition, extreme sports can be aggressive and potentially leave those who decide to undertake these dangerous activities at risk of physiological trauma. If extreme sports were to be banned, it could save the health or even lives of many people.

However, I think that mature people can opt for any sport they like. Firstly, there is not a strict criteria for which sports can be considered as dangerous to human life. For example, during a chess competition there are some risks to human health because the brain vessels are full of blood in order to handle high thinking activity, which could lead to the vessel wall rupturing and causing the person to have a stroke. On the other hand, the people involved in a dangerous sport can also be fully aware of the potential dangers and as a result, take on the necessary measures to support themselves and help each other if needed. These people are generally good friends because everyone can rely on each other in any case. Moreover, athletes are reluctant to smoke and drink alcohol, so it can benefit individuals and society in terms of health and life expectancy.

In conclusion, there are different views about extreme sports; I think that adults should be free to select any sports that they like, on the condition that the required safety measures are applied.
