This sucks but it's what needed at the moment. I feel that the sooner we cooperate, the sooner this mess will be taken care of. I love the sport and gyms and whomever contribute to it, but we're ALL dealing with this situation, not just boxing gyms.

We will see who really "cares" about these places when this is over and/or alleviated. If people really cared, they'd pump more money into local gyms or finds ways to help fund these programs. It's possible. As of now, everyone needs to chill out and stay in shape the best way they know how.

Sad to see something else threatening boxing in the USA though
