Professional boxing. Eesh. All the atmosphere and seemliness of a slave auction. They put the announcers in tuxedoes to try to give blood lust elegance, and pretend the participants aren't risking (and receiving) permanent brain damage.

Mandate headgear for all bouts and let's see how popular this "sport" remains. (No different from mandating HANS devices in NASCAR.)

And this is what I think of the liberal celebrities who flock to these brutal public beatings.

It's great, isn't it? You know what I really miss, though? I miss the bimbos in the skimpy swinsuits and heels, prancing around the ring with the round cards. If they still had that, the experience would be complete.
