10 April 10, 1997 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Spilyay Tymoo Sports Question: Boxing is a sport frequently be rated by the news media. The less positive "gray areas" of boxing are oftentimes reported, repeated and railed against, while the positive aspects of the sport go overlooked. Boxing, like many things in life, has its drawbacks, while what is good about the sport typically goes un noticed. What's right about boxing? Boxing knows no racial, social, financial or personal prejudices. It takes little money, if any, to begin. Most clubs supply the necessary equipment and what personal gear a fighter does need can be purchased relatively inexpensively. The sport is filled with various races, ethnic types and unique personalities. It has no boundaiies or limitations. In football, it is a necessity to be a certain size to compete. Basketball players must be genetically blessed with height. Golf has always, and unbelievably still docs, possess ra cial boundaries. Boxing is one of the only sports that takes into consider ation an individual's natural body size and weight and allows him to compete with others on an "even playing field". The one requirement that boxing docs demand if you choose to excel, is "heart". You must have emotional strength and develop mental toughness if you choose this as a hobby or a career. This, like any mental discipline, can be learned and doesn't require any physical demands that are beyond your con trol. The intrigue and dramatic impact that boxing possesses is phenomenal.

The warmth of the sun, the coolness of the water, and the majestic beauty surrounding hills will bring out the youngster in all of us. t What's right about boxing? Since 1922 over 130 films have been made on the theme of boxing. (Thai's not even counting Rocky II, III. IV and V.) Why have so many stories been told about a sport that is not considered one of America's favor ite pastimes? It carries an air of ex pectancy and anticipation like no other form of competition. It has a universal theme about rising to a challenge and the struggle of life. This is something that nearly every one can relate to. So even those w ho do not enjoy the sport are able to appreciate and applaud the confron tation itself. Do not let the media fool you. Boxing has more appeal and is greeted with less disdain than they would lead you to believe. The impact that a sports figure like Muhammad Ali has had on our society is greater than anyone could have imagined. Boxing is able to fill a void in our community, both physically and emotionally. It offers opportunity for underprivileged and disadvantaged youth and gives them many positive benefits. Feelings of self worth, re spect, discipline and a sense of achievement are all character traits that can be developed throughout the amateur and professional ranks. There are even a few determined, talented fighters that have become successful enough to earn large paydays from the sport and achieve a level of success they might have not experienced otherwise. Boxing is the purest, most basic form of one-on-one competition. If you are a boxer, it's up to you. There in Abby Nyara. All the girls on this years team are solid players."

You are never to old to take a walk with your kids. Aloha Joe Rauchenburg. 'It . , I , i i -J is no one to blame if you lose and no one to steal the glory when you win. This one-on-one competition is the highest level of "physical chess" that can be played. It creates champi ons and brings out championship qualities like no other challenge in the arena. The positive trails to be gained from boxing, at any level, could be written about endlessly. Aside from the handful of carnival acts that steal an occasional headline and (he "controversial" smoke screens, the real story is what plays out in the ring. Struggle, survival, triumph and tragedy are all shown in a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds. In ev ery fight, there is a moment when the spectator is given the opportunity to see through the eyes of a fighter. Sympathizing with the loser or cel ebrating with the victor provides the chance to experience the thrill of the fight without being hit. A life with out risks and the "daily grind" all momentarily disappear in the excit ing, climactic end. When the fight is over, the arena clears and life re sumes. The daily routine, in com parison, is viewed from a fresh per spective. The boxers continue to train for their next encounter and dream of being a world champion. The spec tators go back to their lives and dream of the next fight. It is all about growing and becoming better than you are. That cannot be bad.. ..no matter how you rationalize it.
