Welcome to my blog

Hi, welcome to my blog. My name is Fung and I am a secondary school student.
My interests are reading books, and playing outdoor sports. My most favoured sport is football, because it consists of communication and teamwork.
This blog is for saving my school work, and posting educational videos to help myself remember work I have done. Most of it will be written work, although I will post some videos.

"Violent Sports" and Peoples' Thinking

What do you classify as a dangerous/ violent sport? Many say that the sport of Airsoft/ wargame is violent, because you equip toy guns and shoot each other. In fact this sport is very safe, as long as you keep you mask on at all times.

But many adults and parents would disagree with me and say airsoft is a dangerous sport, then I ask you, why do you let your son/ daughter play rugby, karate, football, basketball? In fact you barely see anyone die or get injured from airsoft, but on the other hand, there are approximately 400,000 people who get injured alone in basketball.

So why do people still say that airsoft is a violent sport? Is it because parents think it is inhumane or inappropriate to shoot people? If that is the case, why don't you point that to war?

I can guarantee that there have been 0 incidents of people dying, or getting injured from playing airsoft on TV. But there have been many incidents from people getting injured, fighting, dying from football, basketball etc.

So what is your view on this? Do you still think that airsoft is more violent in-comparison to contact sports?
