I think the little guy is Rick Roufus. The shorts look the same in this photo as that one.

It wil be such bullshit, like if your a boxing promoter who has views that the democratic and republican party dont like they wont sanction your bout. Every single boxing match will be " This is dedicated to the brave men and women fighting in the middle east" and if your not politically correct they wont liscense you.
Actually, I doubt they will ever concern themselves about the boxers political views. I would guess that it more is likely to end up being not so much political in that way as excessively bureaucratic. Lots of clipboard carriers who will CYA prize fighting right into being indistiguishable from the amateurs. It will be every bit as easy to have a fight as it is to conform to OSHA standards or get EPA to approve a building project, for example.
What is the deal with this guy and the out-of-left-field political crap inserted in all of his articles? I quit visiting his site for this very reason. The last time I visited there, this guy was saying that there was no threat from terrorism, it was all in our heads, as if that has anything to do with boxing. I watch and follow boxing as a form of escape. I visit boxing sites when I do not want to think about the daily grind and politics. I don't want my boxing articles with snide little political references and half-assed amateur punditry.
