should female boxers and wrestlers let there kids watch there in ring or private matches that they do ???
I think it's something that they have to decide for themselves, I've seen plenty of male boxers with their kids in the audience, Floyd Mayweathers kids usually watch his fights I think. I can see the other side of the argument though as it could be upsetting watching their mum if she gets badly beaten.
I think private fights are a little different, not sure I'd let kids watch that but again I'm not a parent.
I agree with Gymbunny, fights in an organized sanctioned league are suitable for kids because it's just another sport, but private matches are more often than not too extreme from my experience in this realm of fighting....unsanctioned private matches get far rougher and dirtier than sanctioned organized league fights and often have nudity and sexually violating content under extreme circumstances
reason i was asking seen a woman boxing contest at local arena where one womans kids was watching and she ended a bloody mess with 2 black eyes,busted lip and broke nose.
like i said just asking.
That would be weird to have your kid watch you get your ass kicked. Unless you were one of thos invincible record fighters then maybe. And age would matter to. Unless you get off on having someone close witness a humiliating defeat. Idk
A lot will depend on the child's age and understanding of what is going on. If the child can't even process why someone is fighting their mother, then no. If you must have a child watch a fight, then have an adult with them to explain/screen when needed. Every sporting activity has potential for injury. Few would likely forbid their child from watching mommy play soccer, but she could have her ankle shattered by a rough tackle in front of them.
An older child closer to 18 is likely to have less issues with seeing a parent in a combat sport, but temperament is still a factor. And don't be shocked if forbidding them just makes them more curious. And let's face it, some of the things that have happened to people at a sporting events most adults have had trouble dealing with. So its a judgement call based on the temperament and age of the child and the risk you are facing.
The above comments are for organized, sanctioned sports events. Private matches I would be very leery of exposing children to because of less regulation and more chance of injury/things getting out of hand. And the chance of sexual content in a match one likely does not want their kids involved with. Plus..how well do you really know the couple you are fighting? Having your children at a fetish match with a strange couple could be REALLY bad news (not a good time to learn your opponent's hubby likes them young ). And it doesn't seem like responsible parenting to save on a babysitter by bringing your kids to your fetish meet up :)

I don't know why people are attacking you just for asking a question in a post. They should give you their honest answer and leave it at that. Supporting your rights Bob.
seems like people are answering the question to me...
I agree with the argument presented by nutmeg. Well said.
Whateva lol
