    Some people suggest that sports involving violence, such as boxing and martial arts, should be banned from television broadcasts and international sporting competitions. I agree with the notion that such sports should be prohibited from these platforms due to the potential harm they can inflict on athletes and the promotion of aggressive behaviour as a form of entertainment.
