The idea of outlawing boxing is often thrown around because a few times a year someone dies in that sport. Since a guy died in the Chicago marathon recently I started thinking hey we should make that sport illegal. Even the original greek guy who ran to marathon way back when is said to have dropped dead after doing it.

the reason the guy in Chicago died was because it was unseasonably hot outside. Even though other athletes play in hot weather they do not perform for an extended period of time like a runner does. Marathons are usually held in the Fall time because the weather is cool. The Marathon should have been postponed.

The guy who died in Chicago died because he had a heart condition. The marathon didn't kill him, his condition did. Even if it did, it his choice to participate in a high risk activity, if you even want to call it that.

Mandatory marathons could probably be made illegal, but since there aren't any of those that I know of, its a pretty unlikely proposition that lacks any justification at all. People are allowed to do much worse things to themselves.....

So you are proposing that any sport with an isolated incident of death should be illegal. That would include ALL sports.
Well thought out argument.
I agree with you but your argument is not very good.

No. The participants no the risks before they start the race.

No I think the runner should know their limitations and by proper training and education could do it
