It is a true shame that a television affiliate didn't even recognize him. How do you not know who Evander Holyfield is? Even my friends who don't pay any attention to boxing would be able to pick Evander out of a lineup. If you're not going to recognize Evander at least operate under the assumption that he is some young athlete's father at these games (knowing him he probably actually is).
