Made his fortune from punching people in the head, so that is such a weird example of a person that you are expecting others to empathise with or support. A whole lot of people find sports that result in brain injuries to be pretty distasteful.

I, for one, thoroughly enjoy boxing, and consider it an intangible part of our collective cultural heritage. Boxing, as a sport, goes back at least 2,000 years to ancient Rome and Greece.

That people choose to find it distasteful is fine with me.

I'm talking about Mike Tyson, the convicted rapist, not Mike Tyson as a boxer.

Good for you! You are legally allowed to enjoy it.

Thank you, and I encourage you to enjoy the sweet science as well!
