Clearly, boxing's very image is repulsive to many people because it cannot be assimilated into what we wish to know about civilized man. In a technological society possessed of incalculably refined methods of mass destruction {consider how many times over the United States and the Soviet Union have vaporized each other in fantasy} boxing's display of direct unmitigated and seemingly natural aggression is too explicit to be tolerated.
