PICKING THE WRONG FIGHT

It will never cease to amaze me what some people are concerned about. They complain about dogs chasing a fake rabbit, chicken fights, dog fights.

Nothing is said about putting two human beings in a ring where the main object is to beat each other over the head until one or the other is unconscious, brain-damaged and, in some cases, dead. They call it boxing.
