You have more faith in humanity than I do. We are afraid, quivering and small-minded, the human race. There are those of us who have been bold enough to grow beyond our respective comfort zones but they are far and few between. We are often not honest--with other people and ourselves--and will act contrary to the things we 'believe'.
Most of the homophobes have been weeded out of boxing from a promoter standpoint.
You want a big pre-fight show
Well guess what side of the tracks alot of your dancers play on
You want to promote female fights?
Well guess what again
Notice,when Emile Griffith finally came out,the reaction of the boxing community was,"Oh, tell us something we dont know"
