A promotion in West Virginia is hosting a child boxing fight involving nine-year-olds.

    I mean, if we’re going to keep pretending that dancing around and slugging each other is a “sport,” then it makes sense to have children play it, right?

      Somewhat, though I generally believe that some forms of freedom are appropriate for adults that aren’t for children. For fighting, I think adults have a better chance of understanding the long-term consequences than kids and thus it’s more immoral to let children do it.

      I mean, it is a sport. I have no idea whether it’s good for young children to be doing it though… Isn’t there a lot of CTE risk?

    This is clearly the conservative version of child drag shows

        But they’re only each 9. Ever seen drunk dudes fighting in groups? They’d fight like that. Getting in each other’s way, tripping over each other. Hell if my kid is any indication he’d just sit and play with toys the other kids left behind.

        I could take about 5 at once given what I know of children, that’s a reasonable limit.

          Oh for sure. I’m just saying if they did manage to coordinate for a minute it could get a little more difficult. Luckily children aren’t known for teamwork or strategy.

            I think really you only need to get a solid punch on one kids jaw. One goes out cold, the others to into survival mode. I think the primary risk there is I might wear myself out chasing them down to mop up.

            I’m gonna step back and just say this is all humorous. Don’t hit kids… Unless they deserve it.

    I love that this article triggered someone hard enough for them to downvote it.

    Stay mad, we’re all laughing at you.

    Whats wrong with that. What you want them boxing after their married to their sisters? They have to grow up and take responsibilities for their kids at that age. They can’t be foolin around brawlin like that. Wouldn’t be responsible now would it.

    Hm, how long till they promote a fight between two twins in a womb of a 16 year old girl after she got pregnant from her father and not able to get an abortion? Or do they care about the health of the unborn twins?

    Isn’t this the definition of child abuse? Tell me this is satire.
