quote:

At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe — at any rate for short periods — that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.

Even a leisurely game like cricket, demanding grace rather than strength, can cause much ill-will, as we saw in the controversy over body-line bowling and over the rough tactics of the Australian team that visited England in 1921. Football, a game in which everyone gets hurt and every nation has its own style of play which seems unfair to foreigners, is far worse. Worst of all is boxing. One of the most horrible sights in the world is a fight between white and coloured boxers before a mixed audience. But a boxing audience is always disgusting, and the behaviour of the women, in particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow them to attend its contests. At any rate, two or three years ago, when Home Guards and regular troops were holding a boxing tournament, I was placed on guard at the door of the hall, with orders to keep the women out.

I think they were sitting around waiting for an hour or two. That might have played out with big events back in the day but everyone is used to instant gratification nowadays.

These pressers are doing a good job of making me question why I ever wanted to watch two assholes make a poo poo ton of money for a poo poo fight. It's going to be funny worked before, but the whole thing isn't actually that funny. It's just forced and silly.

It's really not that. We all knew who they were before so nothing's surprising. I was just hoping for something more which was dumb on my part.

Edit- The only things this fight has going for it are storyline and spectacle cause the fight's going to suck, and it's just a dud for me after the initial reaction. It'll still be fun to get drunk at a friend's house and laugh about it.

It's actually insanely funny that millions of people who casually follow boxing were crazy disappointed with the Manny fight and Floyd's performance in it, and now Floyd is back after two years to charge 100 dollars to watch him fight a guy with no professional boxing fights and apparently people are beyond hyped to fork the cash over again.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

IF this was in Get Out It's be considered a bit too on the nose.

Should have just said brazilian instead of black. He's a rookie racist. Way better a couple of years back. Ring rust is real...

i kind of like the bit where he says "he says negative things like i can't read or count but he doesn't mention the positives" without denying that.

also stay tuned to the end to see floyd totally not give a gently caress at helwani's stupid question
