Just so everyone knows. I can't see what McKay is posting because he has put me on his ignore list. I won't even waste my time doing the same to him.

I think a federal boxing commission could work out well. Every other pro sport has a commission, and I don't see much corruption in the NFL, NBA or baseball. I'm sure there's some, but nothing so dramatic that it really impacts the day to day of the sports or what the product the fan gets. Boxing needs someone to step up and protect the fighters. Right now, it doesn't seem like the individual states are doing that.

Finally, logic, either for or against the commission enters the thread.

You are blind if you dont see corruption in professional sports. Its just not publicized like it is for boxing. IMO the NFL in particular is an extrodinarily corrupt league. Look who the owners are of these professonal sports teams. OH GEORGE BUSH the former owner of the Texas Rangers.

You know you get sewed if publicize anything about the NFL without the express concent of the NFL commisioner Rosenberg. If you write something about the NFL in a newspaper that in circulation of a town of 10,000 people and the NFL finds out they sew you. So you cant write an OP-ED in newspaper saying the NFL is corrupt because if you do it is illegal and the NFL will sue you.

How do you know that's true about the NFL? If that were true, you certainly couldn't have read about it, could you? I'll admit that could be true, but I'd want to see something written or other type of news before I'd actually believe it.

And yes, I do recognize there is corruption in professional sports. There always has been and will be. But I think there are a few things a federal commission can do better, like setting standards to protect the lives and well being of boxers.

It is true what I said. You have my word that it is true. Its up to you whether to accept my word or not. But go surf the internet and try to find an article criticle of the NFL or accusing it of being corrupt you wont find a single one for the reasons afformentioned.

I dunno. If some guy walked up to me and pointed at someone and said, "That guy is a rapist," I'd probably not take their word for it unless they actually had some kind of proof. I couldn't disprove that he was a rapist, but I believe in the whole, "innocent until proven guilty," thing. I'm sure that you have your reasons, and I recognize that you could be 100% correct, but I'm just not going to believe it until someone gives me some kind of proof. There are two reasons why people might not be writing that the NFL is corrupt:

1 - the NFL is corrupt and strong-arms anyone that tries to write about it.
2 - the NFL is not corrupt, so no one has any reason to write about it

I'm gonna have to go with #2 until I can find any reason to believe otherwise.

Duh ...That's nothing new. It applies to any organization or individual for that matter. When you throw out accusations without any facts, you get sued for that ****. It's called "SLANDER".

I assumed he meant writing with proof, and not slander.

It does not have to be slanderous. You not allowed to say anything, in any publication, whether it is positive or negative about the NFL without approval of NFL commisioner Rosenberg. Your not not allowed to mention "NFL' or anything pertaining to the NFL without the express concent of Rosenberg himself. If your going to write articles about how the NFL is corrupt well your not going to get Rosenberg's approval quite obviously.
