Although... has anyone seen Muhammad Ali recently?

[–]snoharm[!] 136 points137 points ago

He threw out the first pitch for the Marlins this year.

And by threw out, I mean he was wheeled to the center of the diamond and handed off the ball. It was really, really sad and in poor taste. He didn't seem entirely sure where he was. Boxing is a cruel sport.

Sorry for the buzzkill, guys.

[–]antwearingjetpack 92 points93 points ago

That's horrible. Obama must be brought to justice.

[–]rcinsf 1 point2 points ago

[–]Zygg 39 points40 points ago

Ever since the advent of gloves that sort of thing has been super common for that sport. Punching someone in the head hurts your hand, so back in the bare knuckle days boxers traded way more body shots.

[–]Jess_than_three 34 points35 points ago

Man, and here I'd've thought that gloves would've lessened the amount of head trauma. Counter-intuitive. =/

[–]BRSKKM 30 points31 points ago

It does, but it also means the fighter can take more shots for much much longer. It's the repeated head banging that does you in... which is why metal heads are so prone to Alzheimers.

[–]infamous-spaceman 18 points19 points ago

Don't boxers also hit with more force aswell, because without the glove a full force punch is more likely to break your hand?

[–]mebbee 11 points12 points ago

Most likely a combination of everything. The president of the UFC and one of his fighters was on Bill O'Reilly trying to dispel some of the misinformation about the dangers of MMA.

The smaller gloves in MMA lead to less repetitive head trauma, but more KO/TKOs. It's unintuitive, but I think the repeated bludgeoning (in boxing) is worse than simply getting knocked out and being done with it (mma).

[–]TheMeatball 5 points6 points ago

Not to mention the 10-count. Most UFC fights would probably go a lot longer if they were given 10 seconds to recover. MMA's stoppages save a lot of brain trauma too.

[–]mebbee 3 points4 points ago

Absolutely, good point. In MMA once a fighter is out, that's it. They're not given a chance to recover.

It's crazy to think that boxers can get KOed several times in a fight, but so long as they get up within a certain amount of time they continue and take more punishment.

[–]Weis 6 points7 points ago

Yes, basically the gloves make it worse for the boxers in some ways. Same way attaching blades to roosters in cockfights is actually more humane than making them fight with their natural spurs, the fight is over faster that way.

[–]liebkartoffel 26 points27 points ago

So, what you're saying is we should attach razor blades to boxing gloves.

[–]Brian175 2 points3 points ago

That's part of it and also the gloves add weight.

[–]Jess_than_three 9 points10 points ago

Are they seriously? Wow, TIL..

[–]OmegaSeven 8 points9 points ago

Yep, or at least similar conditions that result from brain trauma.

The moral here seems to be that head trauma is a cumulative thing. I know a few people who are pretty strong advocates of getting rid of football helmets for practically the same reason.

[–]SoManyNinjas 4 points5 points ago

This thread's just full of bad news, isn't it

[–]Dujen 2 points3 points ago

Yea, good way to piss in my cheerios this morn.

[–]slartbarg 0 points1 point ago

less cuts and hand injury, more traumatic brain injury

[–]kleinerDAX 11 points12 points ago

Gloves = larger surface and more weight without the pain in your hand when you hit someone. Thereby increasing the chance of hitting someone in the head and with more force.

There is a really interesting correlation with safety features being introduced and increased accidents. Human mentality = "Welp, got mah helmet, might as well go twice as fast now!"

[–]Muffinizer1 3 points4 points ago

While I agree gloves are not curing any head trauma, Larger surface area means the force is spread out more. would you rather have 50 lbs resting on a 1mm diameter rod sitting on you, or 50lbs resting on a 1 ft diameter object on you, assuming the 50 lbs is the only mass involved.

[–]Carbon_Dirt 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but it's not as much about the bruising directly at the hit site, it's more about the head being jarred and shaken repeatedly. The gloves allow more head shots because the puncher's hand is protected; so while there are fewer broken knuckle and cheek/jaw bones, there ends up being more long-term brain trauma.

It's not just that the gloves don't prevent that brain damage, its that in most cases they make it more likely to happen.

    Thereby increasing the chance of hitting someone in the head and with more force.

    increased surface area would increase the likelihood of hitting your target, but not necessarily with more force - it really depends on the area you're using to measure the impact.

    bare knuckle fighting you're more likely to break bones, because the force is concentrated on a smaller area.

    [–]scorpion347 5 points6 points ago

    On the bright side... less crippled by broken hands.

    [–]sellyourselfshort 0 points1 point ago

    It could also be the Parkinson's syndrome. I know that boxing fucks peoples heads up quite a bit but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this had a bigger effect.

    [–]HeadlessMarvin 2 points3 points ago

    Similar situation with American Football helmets. They give a false sense of security and actually cause more head injuries.

    [–]Zygg 0 points1 point ago

    Exactly, more protection in the short term from little things, but they use it as a safety net and take more risk which is more dangerous in the long term

    [–]Agehn 1 point2 points ago

    Yeah, they're designed to protect the hands not the opponent.

    [–]mrhhug 1 point2 points ago

    it lengthened the fights.

    [–]winkandthegun 1 point2 points ago

    It's kinda the same thing with NFL helmets. They protect against the severe/fatal injuries, but because of the protection players started using their head as a weapon and boxers started hitting the head a lot more, thus causing more concussions.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

    Same with football having way harder hits than rugby

    [–]mewarmo990 1 point2 points ago

    Yup, it does seem counter-intuitive, right? Everyone in martial arts knows that the purpose of gloves is to protect your fists, not the other guy's face.

    Your hands are padded against pain and injury, so you can punch harder.

    [–]Fearlessleader85 2 points3 points ago

    But in the days of bare-knuckle pugilism, a lot more people died in the ring. Mostly because there wasn't a TKO rule, and the fights often just went until someone couldn't continue. Combine this with some stubborn fuckers, and you end up with people dying left and right.

    [–]Zygg 0 points1 point ago

    But like you said that's cause they had fewer roles then, no tko's, the ref wouldn't stop the fight if a guy wasn't defending himself. People died because of the rules in play, not cause they didn't wear gloves.

    [–]That_Guy333 2 points3 points ago

    I thought you said "He threw out the first PUNCH for the Marlins this year." when I first scanned over your comment!

    [–]honeycombover 0 points1 point ago

    yeah that is sad, although I'm sure the intentions were good of the people who organised it, continuing to attempt to honour a sports person despite their physical frailty. Up until recently he has been a person to carry his illness with massive dignity, it seems, in his public appearances. He was at the Olympics too, and that seemed to be a good thing, to me his dignity was still maintained, which I think is what you are saying? He was however completely reliant on a support person to participate, and I thought she too did a great job of helping maintain his dignity. It is fantastic that he has had the pride to remain visible and with public standing as long as he has, but you are right, a total buzzkill to hear of a public appearance thing that seems to add nothing to anyone's day... On another note, I laughed pretty hard at the OP's picture. Then I realised they were talking about Osama Bin Laden. facepalm. So now I am sad about two things. feelsbadman.jpg

            A couple of years ago, when I was a sophomore in college (community college before I transferred to a four year university) I took a "physics" class. It was seriously shit I learned in elementary/middle school, more of a very basic overview of physical science.

              Apparently this is something that a high school kid turned in. That doesn't mean it actually met the requirements of the assignment. Also, this could be the student's very best effort, this could be what happens when the student remembers 5 minutes before class that he or she had an assignment due, or this could be a disgruntled student who thinks that no on actually cares what gets turned in and is trying to see what he or she can get away with.

              Could be an in-class assignment. For a hour class, with a half-hour of instruction... you only get 15 minutes to make a poster, then 15 minutes for all the groups to share. I had to do that many times in high school.

                I'm American. My dad's ancestors are (mostly) German, and my mom's ancestors are Norwegian. If I were elected, would it be inaccurate to say that I'm the first Norwegian-American president?

                I get what you're saying, but Obama's dad was, literally, from Kenya. He is of recent African ancestry. Ignoring the fact that defining ourselves with blurrily-defined ethnicities is rather silly, I think it's fair to say that Obama's African-American, in the same sense that others call themselves Irish-Americans, or Italian-Americans, or Polish-Americans.

                [–]Upstairsredditacount 4 points5 points ago

                He's also pretty evidently black. In the United States, if you are a non-latino black, people trying to be politically correct will refer to you as African-American. If your family came from Norway and lived there six generations back, you will still be called African-american if you have Obama's skin tone. America's PC Police seem to have a stigma agains "Black" as a race.

                    To be fair - from the video of Romney saying that, it is quite apparent he was just trying to be funny: http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/windows.asp

                    Yeah, I hate it when people "casually" bring politics t r/funny or r/wtf.

                    Seriously though, let me get my surprised face on to find out that Romney's joke went completely over reddit's head. After it was posted on THE DAILY-FUCKING-KOS!

                    C'mon guys, this is the same goddamn ad hominem bullshit we saw with the last election.

                    *Ad hominem. Although it's almost a homophone.

                    I figured it had to be a joke, though it's a pretty bizarre thing to joke about. I'm still not entirely sure what he was trying to say.

                      a candidate, not a nominee a fucking candidate, for the President of the United States asked why there aren't windows you can roll down on an airplane

                      Hiya, smart guy. Just FYI, you have "candidate" and "nominee" backwards. Having a "candidate" say crazy things is not really interesting. Lyndon LaRouche was a presidential candidate for almost thirty years, and said crazy things routinely. And as pointed out elsewhere, Romney was joking.

                      So, you know, before you start organizing an anti-Idiocracy movement, maybe you should look inward and reflect on the fact that sometimes even smart people make mistakes.

                        Hey, if the future generations become on average dumber, then that would increase a demand for smart people with reasonably marketable skills. If smart people (and their jobs) become more in demand with less supply, then that means the smart people will make (comparatively more) bank. Not a bad deal, really.

                        That's nothing. I took "The African-American Culture and Experience" as an online course last year. My final was 10 questions. Well, it was 9 questions, and the last was...

                        "Barak Obama"

                        I have a picture somewhere. If anyone cares, I'll dig it up.

                        This was from my professor. MY PROFESSOR. Yes, it's a spelling error. I don't think it's acceptable, especially given the course. But I'd be willing to forgive that if the final "question" wasn't "Barak Obama"...ugh.
