It looks like the International Olympic Committee is doing it because the International Boxing Association refuses to recognize the right of weak men to beat women up.

Boxing was just about the only Olympic sport I was interested in.

After making its debut in the 2024 Paris Olympics, breaking — or breakdancing — will not return for the 2028 games in Los Angeles.

Boxing is a dying sport. Between the fear of the long term effects of concussions, the rise of MMA, and the insane number of pro-boxing associations with all their different belts it’s just not drawing an audience or athletes.

I watched not one second of the O-lame-pics this year. Zero interest in the globo-homo extravaganza.

At the rate LA is deteriorating, it will have turned into a total s—thole long before 2028, especially with far left Mayor Karen Bass in charge. Even now, downtown LA and nearby neighborhoods resemble hobo city and with vacant storefronts everywhere. It should be renamed San Francisco South.

Could the now imminent takeover of women’s boxing by men have anything to do with it? Men beating up women is a turnoff for Olympic fans and trannies beating each other up is just plain irrelevant to sport and everyone knows that.

Women's boxing was not one of the founding sports. That's a 21st century innovation.
