It is believed that some sports are to risky and it should be better to banned it, while others believed that anyone is free to select which sports practice. I think is better have the option to select any sport, only if you know the consequences. Practice a dangerous sport could improve the ecnomic situation of many people, however, the risk of get a serious health problem increase.
On the one hand, practice a risk sport may improved the quality of life of players, with healthy economic life. Most of the riskiest sports offer higher salaries compare with the saftier ones, that means, if the prospect have a sucessfull career, would have more profit than other players, it is a high risk situation but also a higher reward. For example, F1 drivers spent a great number of hours of their childhood inside cars, that does not meet the safety criteria for children, nonetheless, the average salaries for professional F1 driver is 4.5 million dollars per year, that mean if you have succes, you would have a economic stability. This is only possible if you have the choice practice.
On the other hand, there are plenty of sports that can cause you health issues over time, decreasing your life excpentancy. This is due to the numbers of risk, that those bring players, leaving them in positions where take damage is the only option, increasing possiblities to suffer injuries. For instance, NFL players have been hitting their heads since young ages, that produce a brain damage that cannot have cure, produccing a irreversible damage to their bodies, as a result ending in a premature deaths or mental health problems in early ages. To avoid these problems, some sports may be banned.
In conclusion, the freedom of choose any sport could end in the improvement of economic life of players, however, the risk to do dangerous sport should en in illnesses that cannot be heal. I believe that you can choose to play any sport, if you know what will happen to your health.
