UFC, Boxing & other head striking sports Chronic traumatic encephalopathy - RainbowUnicorn - Apr 6, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concussion_(2015_film) RE: UFC, Boxing & other head striking sports Chronic traumatic encephalopathy - C C - Apr 6, 2018 "The force of a professional boxer’s fist is equivalent to being hit with a 13-pound bowling ball traveling 20 miles per hour." Nah. To satisfy the existing audience draw for the male-fighter category (especially those formerly mid- and heavyweight), they'd just start churning out impuissant or quasi-emaciated males confined to a low-protein plant diet to accommodate the diminished power parameters. Instead of a crowd member rooting for hunky Bolt Steele in the arena, it would be sort of like one of those "bugfighting" spectator sports in Asia -- hooting for one stick insect to knock over another or something. ~ RE: UFC, Boxing & other head striking sports Chronic traumatic encephalopathy - RainbowUnicorn - Apr 7, 2018 (Apr 6, 2018 05:29 PM)C C Wrote: LoL i am not refering to the nature of the consential sport. i am referring to the brain injury caused by repeated head impacts. nanny state action has now become global with the usa vs china trade wars. its all nanny-state taxs for the rich. there is no opposition from the right against the trade war. thus "nanny-state" is an alt-right cult expresion with specifically(human-rights/protection) left leaning policys rather than a functional specific discription. its use is applied non scientifically and has always an intent to divest social/public regulation/protections. regulation is copywrite law, yet no one is screaming nanny-state about that. you dont hear the political right jumping up and down screaming nanny-state about corporate state controlled branding regulations. you dont hear the republicans screaming nanny-state about commercial property regulations RE: UFC, Boxing & other head striking sports Chronic traumatic encephalopathy - RainbowUnicorn - Apr 7, 2018 what i am specifacly wondering about is the ability to scan and determine potential brain injury in profesional long term sports people. if there is some way to determine that there is some small amount of damage(that may be the start of Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) then it would prevent their serious injury and allow them to retire and lead a healthy life. anyone who has not watched the movie i would strongly recomend it. if medical science can advance to be able to detect the on set then it would make majour breakthroughs.

Whether in formal or popular usage context, an appeal to such seldom negates / constrains an expression's increasing or broadening functional purposes once established. For instance, as far back as 2006, Dean Baker extended the partisan application of "nanny state" in the US via a book called "The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer". The concept not only becomes potentially mutable and nuanced in different pockets throughout the Anglophone world, but eventually infiltrated the non-English speaking world. Back in the early "language turn" days of analytic philosophy, there was some occasional strategies to reclaim or reform an idea, abstraction, idiom, or name-label by tracing its genealogy or going back to its oldest etymological sources. But in the end its proliferated semantic developments and trans-cultural hoppings over the centuries and incarnations in specific schools of thought could not be undone, usurped, or retired.
