Complaints about the effects of NAPW Pro Wrestling to the American Society


Sport is supposed to influence the lives of people positively and not negatively. There have been complaints about the damage that pro wrestling is doing to the American society.  the CEO’s call it entertainment but as we know it, it is a theatre full of cons. however this does not end there as statistics indicate that the number of young people watching these NAPW matches have continued to grow. This is the same number reflected to the cases of violence that have been reported so far. All fingers are being pointed towards the influence of pro wrestling in the society.
The incidents of violence however have not influenced the adults much as they have influenced children. Children are the future leaders. And if the future leaders will go to be violent then it is disturbing. Parents are voicing out their anger with the pro wrestling companies as a majority of them have stated NAPW complaints that they have not changed behavior in their children after being exposed to pro wrestling material. Many have argued that the government should consider pulling these shows off considering the harm they are causing to the society at large. The influence that pro wrestling has played is unrivalled as other sports are not known to interfere with the children’s behavior like pro wrestling is doing.

It is no exception when it comes to the adults. A research and also some NAPW reviews carried out by one of the universities unfolded that there is a connection between professional wrestling and date rape. This is a thing that the media is always shy to let people know as mostly those in the wrestling do not share any information with the public. It has been reported however that many pro wrestlers are either on drugs or steroids. Young people in America today are looking out for people they can make their role models. And with the statistics showing that at least one million of the viewers are children then in this number it is only logical for some to have their role models in pro wrestling. If the role model then happens to be a drug user then it is only normal for children to try them out to feel how their role models feel. Due to this the number of teenagers hooked to drugs is on the rise. During the young age it’s the time when children are learning things. Normally, they do this by internalizing. It is therefore possible for them to internalize the aggression that is exposed in the pro wrestling. The content mostly broadcasted is not censored which also leaves the society at odds with pro wrestling. Unlike other sports pro wrestling is the only game where you will find a lot of vulgarities. It is extreme in some instances where female wrestlers if they have to win have to tear the competitor’s inner wear and so on. This leaves a great number of people in the society torn since they are not aware what is good or not.

NAPW COMPLAINTS OF HARMFUL EFFECTS ON CHILDREN


Among many manufactures it is important before launching the product to a market research in order to avoid complaints. This entails weeks of rigorous activities trying to identify the target market and the age and also the potential buyers. Sports just like the products observe this rule as there is no way they can be viable if there are no fans buying the tickets and so on. Some sports such as professional wrestling have many royal followers with other following certain wrestlers fanatically. Most professional wrestling matches are not censored and the content aired in many times is vulgar.
Most promoters on the other hand make most of the matches accessible even to children which at the end of the day end up exposing kids to the adult lives at such an early age. The most highlighted of all the NAPW complaints is that, in female professional wrestling (professional women) the scenes aired are more sexual than wrestling. This again has led to the erosion of morals among the children watching these matches.  The divas as they are called in pro wrestling are only in their bras and panties. These scenes to young children may have a great impact in their future lives and the way they relate to people of the opposite sex. This also raises the question of ethics and whether the sport does have a code of ethics.
Mostly NAPW targets males from the age of 18 but this does not mean that kids from age 2 do not target the material. The fact that children can access it as games or just from viewing it live leaves them vulnerable in a world where sex sells and vulgarity is regarded as being cool. It is important to keep in mind also that at these young age children are developing cognitively physically and so on.
Most of the things they watch from the TV and what the NAPW reviews say are stored in their minds and they might use them at later stages in their lives. The nature of professional wrestling as we know it is violent and in many occasions the wrestlers are always embroiled in personal feuds. Their attitude too leaves the young ones vulnerable as they want to emulate them.
