Safety of Sports in School!

Following some unsightly, and unsportmanship acts between ACS(I) and St. Andrews, which resulted in mass chaos and injuries. Also not forgetting, the death of the taekwondo boy, after receiving a kick to his head, which was deemed as "normal" in terms of power of the kick. Hence, after so many injuries and accidents in these contact sports, the MOE has decided to act upon the situation by reviewing school sports safety measures, as shown by this article : http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20100422/tap-922-moe-conduct-safety-review-sports-231650b.html
In my opinion, contact sports are bound to have injuries, if not why elso would they call it contact sports? Only thing we can do, is to promote better sportsmanship, irregardless of whether you are representing your school or nation, and of course, better protection for the participants, for example better gears, which would absorb the impact inflicted by an opponent more effectively. I find that sports is not all about winning, it is the experience of participating in it that makes sports all the more enjoyable. People always say that winners of a particular sports match is the biggest winner of the day, but i feel, that the biggest winner is actually the one who accepts losing gracefully. But losing with grace is not easy, hence, it is important that schools instil their students with a competive mindset, accompanied by a strong sense of sportmanship. I find that one way they could encourage sportsmanship is that after every match or competition, each participant from each team should share a congratulatory handshake with their opponents. Only then, can the beauty of the sport be enhanced. With sportsmanship in place, we viewers can expect lesser violence before/during/after sport matches. What is the use if you are a great player, but lacks sportmanship? As for injuries, i guess it is just part and parcel. Like taekwondo, there is not much of a choice, as it involves kicking, just one misplaced kick could really hurt your opponent really badly. All sports that requires kicking or punching your opponent brings along a huge element of danger, just like all contact sport. When there is contact, there will surely be injuries, but what we can do is to minimize the extent of injuries, or maybe even, reduce the amount of injuries.
