Mehul's Opinion Leads

Thesis - Children should be allowed to play Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing), despite its violence.

Lead 1 - Narrative
Lumpinee Stadium is filled with complete pandemonium. Men in tattered clothing yell cheers and taunts. The yelling is interrupted by the occasional blood-curdling screams by the two figures tearing at each other in the ring. The fighters launch bone-crushing blows at each other so intensely, cracks can be heard. Their faces are molded with agony and rage, with bloodshot eyes wide open. All hell breaks loose.

Lead 2 - Descrpitive
When people take a trip to the country of Thailand, most tourists come to watch the huge clashes in the sport Muay Thai or Thai kickboxing. Fights occur on a daily basis, with competitors fighting to near-death. The amazement of two grown men brawling each other has made this sport loved most about Thailand's rich culture. However, the controversy has grown when children were allowed to participate in the event, and in regions outside of Thailand, it may even be banned.

Lead 3 - Twist
Muay Thai is deemed one of the most violent sports today, with 2500 fighters needing emergency room treatment each year. However, the sport is played by people of all ages. Also, the level of physical fitness and coordination required for Muay Thai is rated the highest by ESPN, proving Muay Thai is very good for physical activity and even one of the healthiest sports.
