Pokemon go.

This topic got me thinking a similar thing, if the bicycle or skateboard had been invented yesterday and got to be amazingly popular imagine how many deaths and calls for banning a they would get.

Any sport, really. Every year millions of children get injured, while playing team sports, or doing gymnastics in school. Some of those injuries (thousands) have serious medical consequences, including paralysis, brain damage and even death. But we're so used the idea, that sport is good, that we write those kids off, as acceptable casualties. The same with adult sports - nobody (well - not not nearly enough people) gives 2 f*cks about half-wits on steroids permanently damaging each other, often dying prematurely. All we care about is the show...

Before gloves were introduced to boxing there were no documented deaths from the sport, because people wouldn't punch each other in the head. Since then there have been thousands of deaths worldwide and great many more serious head and spine injuries, both to professionals and amateurs, including kids. But nobody calls for ban on boxing gloves, do they?
