The Future of Contact Sports: Resilience Vs Virtual Reality

Every one of us have been involved in contact sports since we were kids and many time we got injured while playing but we recovered and did played the same sports again.

Nowadays people are quite sensitive and think it could be dangerous to play sports that have physical contact where they can get injuries so here's the mobile phone, play those android games instead.

Sports have helped me a lot ever since my childhood, it developed my mindset and all this strategic thinking, standing up again after falling or going through injury is something that makes contact sports special.

Boxing and Wrestling: one of the best contact sport?

From one generation to another, boxing isn't just any regular sport, the way people used to fight with each other in an open ground among the audience decades or centuries ago is now just inside a ring with some rules.

There's a lot of cases where people got injured badly in boxing but still that sport is one the most popular one.

We all have seen Jake Paul Vs mike Tyson fight and also have seen great fighters like Muhammad Ali in the ring.

People compete with each others, they're not enemy but doing it to provide the family and history is more wild.

Wrestling is fun

I remember watching wrestling while growing up and I read that disclaimer "don't try this at home" but after the match is over

It used to be me Vs my siblings on the top of bed as a wrestling ring. This one time I almost got a crack but it was always fun.

If i can avoid injury while playing football, cricket without taking precautions as a kid than those athletes are literally built for that sport and knows well to deal with any kind of injury (they don't even get injured that often except neymar).

There's only one Stupid contact Sport

In this history of this mankind I don't think there's any more stupid sport than this particular one known as "Slap fighting" where both of players slap each other on face

The one who hit stronger and last for longer gets more points.

I can't imagine playing a sport where opponent will have to slap on face. It is absurd and there's many serious injuries that can happen if things goes wrong.

wrapping up...

In the end as we're going forward in more digital era I believe these sports will evolve into something like "stuck in one giant room with rules and you all are playing sports game from VR".

More like virtual reality to avoid all those severe injuries that can ruin life or career but still like I said as I've been involved in sports since childhood, it builds your mindset that helps you avoid injuries or recover from it quickly.
