IMO Boxing is more personal—there is No team effort.And I add
to the question is it worth it? my response— the moment it ceases to be worth it is the moment we have chosen as a people to accept the Hemlock and die by suicide. I have lived with the option of suicide for over 40 yrs.And if the Lord God gives me another 40 I will hunker down and live it. A former
Golden Gloves champion in Nebraska tried teaching me to box.
He said I had habit of turning my back on my opponent and letting them wear themselves out until I got mad-and then I did not try to box— I tried to kill them. So I never took it up as a profession.
THEN i receive a reply as yours which at first a boxing thing but isn’t. We lost 27 SEAL TEAM brothers right after obl was killed. There is simmering rage about that as if it was some “offering”, some “sacrifice” required to a larger mission. This will remain troubling. Everyone of these patriots, honed and true, should be remembered every day.
