Never understood why two people punching each other and knocking each other out (and often hurting adversaries to death or even worse, to cerebral death) can be seen as exercising a 'noble art'.
Boxing is just a lingering memory of cavemen. The worst possible activity that I would never call a sport.
This said, I also can't understand the level of grieving and apotheosis surrounding Muhammad Ali's death.
He was someone punching his adversaries harder that they.
Does this make him a hero?
I think not.
His sentences concerning 'niggers' and 'vietcong', moreover, were just prompted by his press-agents, according to the years of his activity and the trends of those times. Does anyone remember how Jane Fonda was called at that time thanks to the same slogans? Hanoi Jane!
Politics as a means to call for sympathy at a certain time.
I have no sympathy for such kind of people.
And I find boxing to be a most damaging, savage and absolutely stupid activity.
