Comments Thread For: McCain, Reid Aim To Establish National Commission

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Because it was a little bit insulting towards you. I try not to insult other people. So I apologize for that.

You insult me every time when you post those dumb ass JCC Jr posts but I don't see you deleting them. It's all good, I don't get offended.

Something related I just posted in another thread earlier today

Steward is getting Sen John McCain involved I guarantee he will add mandatory random blood testing to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act (To reform unfair and anticompetitive practices in the professional boxing industry.) which he went to alot of effort to pass in 1999



Heres an old article while it was still being denied and to give you more of an idea on his views on boxing...



Statement on the Senate's Failure to Bring the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act to a Vote

November 19, 1999
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, today made the following statement on the Senate's failure to bring the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act to a vote:

"It is extremely unfortunate that after three years of close consultation with boxers, state athletic officials, a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general, two votes of passage in the Senate, and passage in the House, the Senate failed to bring the Ali Act to a final vote. Two unnamed ********ic Senators have used arcane Senate rules to stop this bill for now. Boxing fans everywhere should be appalled. And I plan to make passage of this bill a top priority next year.

"The boxing industry is in a crisis and the Ali Act would have provided urgently needed reforms such as limiting coercive option contracts, establishing fair business practice guidelines for rating organizations, and requiring key financial disclosures on promoters and organizations of major boxing events. These provisions would benefit every boxer who steps into a ring in America.

"I want to thank Senator Richard Bryan of Nevada and Muhammad Ali and his wife for their hard work over the years. We will fight for passage next year in order to restore integrity to the boxing industry for the athletes and the fans."
