Joyce Carol Oates Quote
No American sport or activity has been so consistently and so passionately under attack as boxing, for moral as we'll as other reasons. And no American sport evokes so ambivalent a response in its defenders: when asked the familiar question How can you watch . . . ? the boxing aficionado really has no answer. He can talk about boxing only with others like himself.
