Wizard's Quidditch Should be Banned

Ah, we have a serious contester! He has never lost a debate! This should be interesting.1. Quidditch is far too dangeroushttp://www.youtube.com...(Start the video at around 1:30) Quidditch is played with brooms flying everywhere. However, it is so high, with hundreds of feet below. If a student were to fall, then he or she would more than likely die, unless some person in the audience or the coach could spot him or her among the massive chaos. In addition, with the big problem of the bludger, falling off is quite easy, especially for those chasers, since the chasers have to hold the broomstick with one hand and use their other hand to throw the quaffle, if they have a quaffle in their hand. If a beater cannot get the bludger in time, then the chaser would likely lose his or her balance, fall off, and have a big chance of dying, or at least survive and suffer trauma. In addition, even if the bludger does not hit the player, it is very likely to hit the broomstick, forcing the player to lose his or her balance and more than likely crash or fall off. In fact, even looking at Harry, the amazing seeker--the fastest and most versatile player on the team--in his 6th year he was knocked out injured! [1] We're not even looking at the other players, only at The Boy Who Lived!! Even this Chosen One can get harmed; imagine how the others could have been injured!1b. Quidditch is far too dangerousIn addition to the harms that could occur with those bludgers, if someone else seemingly dangerous is harming the wizarding world, then dementors must guard the school. But dementors aren't always trustworthy! In fact, in that wikipedia source I refered above-- [1], Harry fell during a match due to dementors, narrowly getting his soul sucked out of him, just showing how untrustworthy these terrible soul-suckers can be. The bludger is already enough trouble, but with dementors possibly popping up, Quidditch is near impossible to play without any injuries to the players, especially during these times of stress.2. No one follows the rulesThere are hundreds and hundres of rules in Quidditch, including over 700 fouls, so it might be understandable that a rule is occasionally broken, as in soccer where people occasionally get yellow cards, and rarely sometimes get red cards. However, in Quidditch, people break rules much more often than in any other game! Why? Everything is so choatic, there is no way the coach/referee could follow everyone and still make sure that everyone follows the rules! In fact, Wikipedia refers to a breaking of a foul immediately after almost every single foul! [2] This shows how unruly and obstreperous the students can be, especially those Slytheriens, considering how sly and malicious they can be. And we're not even putting magical steroids as a possibility for these players...3. The stupid, stupid SnitchWhy is there that ball which is worth 150 points anyways?? What were the creators thinking?? There are only two cases in which the seeker caught the Snitch but still lost. [3] However fast the Snitch may be, I doubt the opponent can score 16 quaffle goals before the seeker catches the Snitch. There are "Rare occasions in which the game lasts months", [3] and that may seem exciting, since the players are trying to catch up so that when they catch the Snitch, they win, but these "Rare occasions" get very boring. It's the same thing over and over, and the players get more tired as they go along. Eventually, everyone will have to stop at a point and just sit on their broomsticks for a few minutes or otherwise collapse with exhaustion while the audience boos and yawns. As can seen, the Snitch is worth far too much, and even if its fastness can make up for its points, if it is too fast for the seekers, games will get very boring. Keep in mind that games can technically go on forever if the seeker does not manage to catch the Snitch, since the Snitch is the only way to end the game!! In addition, the game too much heavily relies on the Seeker. The rest of the team could be injured and almost dead, lying in a heap on the floor, and the opponent could be scoring 140:0, and they're just about to score another goal with the quaffle....when the seeker catches the Snitch. This just shows how dumb the Snitch is and how much points it is worth: far too much.4. The goal isn't even to win!!The goal of Quidditch is actually to gain the most points at the end of the year.[4] That's right--every single game matters. But seriously, you could technically lose ALL of the matches before the final (get less points than the opponent) and still "win" at the end by winning the final.Let me demonstrate these sample games: (ending: slytherien wins)GAME ONESlytherien: 140Gryffendor: 150Ravenclaw: 60Hufflepuff: 150GAME TWOS: 270H: 300R: 210G: 200GAME THREES: 350G: 360H: 370R: 360FINAL GAMESlytherien: 560Hufflepuff: 450Gryffendor: 440Ravenclaw: 550As shown above as long as you stay close to the top score, you can still catch up in the final game, which is really unfair. If it were working for winning rather than gaining points, Quidditch would be far more exciting. (And Slytherien would not win the Quidditch Cup of the entire year)In conclusion wizard's Quidditch should be banned due to its dangerous nature, its potential longetivity and boringness, its stress of importance on the too-much-points-Snitch, and overall lameness of the scoring system. Too much needs to be changed; wizards should play a different sport altogether.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://en.wikipedia.org...[3] http://en.wikipedia.org...[4] http://en.wikipedia.org...
