### <center>Ciao Steemians!</center>

*A sport that I really don't understand is boxing, as well as all sports related to combat. Not that I don't understand the rules and I also understand the fans who are excited to see two men getting into a fight. What I really don't understand are those two men. I am a pacifist so I probably start already on the wrong side, I hardly took a few beating in my life, but I remember that they are not pleasant, nothing at all.*

*How can they stand the pain?*

*How do they have fun?*

*How do they get pleasure from these sports?*

*These are questions I will probably never have an answer for as I will never experience their own emotions. Then let's also put the risk of brain damage and we're ok. I saw a movie with Will Smith "Concussion" on American football and the damage the players suffer, which made me think a lot.*

*How do they risk their lives? Ok the glory, the adrenaline, the sense of superiority, but being the other side I don't think I'll ever get there. I also happened to see some fights, but probably because I'm highly empathetic, I could only experience the surreal pain if I had been in their place... but if they were happy everyone is happy!!*

*But this is only the psychological side of sport, regarding rules I actually think I don't understand many sports, but if I am interested in any sport I watch it trying to understand the rules, if I can't catch them watching I jump on the internet and I study it, so on the rules side I have no sport to list because I could potentially understand them all. Then at first those that I didn't immediately understand are many, but shortly after... problem fixed, understood everything or almost!*

*Not that with this I wants to tell that I'm smart, don't get me wrong, I'm done in this way and the first topic of the contest was dedicated to a sport that I don't understand and I didn't get any idea, in fact I'm so smart that I started from the second contest's topic as you can see [here](https://scorum.com/en-us/scorum/@dexpartacus/22-may-96-time-has-stopped)!* 😁
