The world 🌎 of sports is something huge, interesting and entertaining that we enjoy it so much forgetting most times the risks and dangers involved. And without doubt, various sports we have around the world has kept so many countries together because sports are what many love ❤️ and enjoy.
Despite the love we have for sports , we should not forget or have an overnight towards the dangers involved in most sports especially the contact sports. Although many who go into sports does not have this fear in mind because everything in life is full of risk, so basically, they take up these sports either for the love ❤️, the money 💰 they earn or to make and become famous.
The risk and dangers associated with most sports especially that of contact sports that involves one on one person contact during the period of play or fight between opponents are very enormous which sometimes ends in one or two sustaining injuries. The problem we have is how those involved are playing or fighting for money, and sometimes don’t want to give chances to their opponents.
And with huge fans out there expecting their team to win, those on the fields or rings don’t even care if they are going to sustain injury until it happens. I love watching football 🏈 especially when the club I love ❤️ is playing but sometimes I can not stand the way the players rush into each other colliding and crashing which can cause any injury. Its indeed lots of energy but that is the only thing that makes it competitive.
Most times my heart will just be hanging as the play is on going which is just an anxiety emotion for the ones I love on the field.Sports are entertaining but the intensity involved is what gives me anxiety and this is where I think the sports management boards should have a look to see if there will be away to counsel players or fighters to know when to slow down and avoid some unforeseen circumstances that might lead to serious injuries. But unfortunately I know this might be hard since every one involved is competing to win 🏅.

I once played hand ball ⚽️ when I was in secondary school and can purely relate to how players sometimes don’t see injury coming because everyone is blinded to lets keep the energy and win. And in one of the competitions I went with my school I ended up sustaining a side face injury. One of the girls from my opponents side was about to jump with me to catch the ball, but ended up slashing my side forehead with her shovel teeth 🦷. It was not funny 😆. Immediately, I saw blood 🩸 dripping down my face and all over my sports top.
Regulating some of the contact sports will really take away some energy needed because most regulations in place are quite good, but something should be done towards wrestling and boxing 🥊. These are the sports I can’t stand watching. Its very brutal. What ever money 💰 or power that is involved, its should not be with bruises and blood 🩸. If there will be any new regulations, wrestling and boxing should be looked into to stop competitors suffering. I know many who loves boxing might not agree to this but lives are involved.

In conclusion, the modern times are also changing things in sports as regards to accurate standby emergencies, some protections players wears and how referees are trained to know when to whistle to avoid some dangerous occurrences. Its left for those involved to pay attention to avoid being penalized.
