Re Obama’s election, yes, it can be said that it is groundbreaking that a black man was elected president. But that may be a somewhat backward way to view things. The real progress in that event is not that he is black but that the color of his skin did not matter at all. Race did not matter. And by playing up the juxtaposition of black man and white house, they have succeeded in cheapening the very thing that they were trying celebrate. It’s not offensive by any measure, just unfortunate.

its their lack of creativity that pisses people for the most part…if you watched the local telecast of the bout, the commentator did say something to that note at least three or four times.they are writers, they should be creative enough to write something original.I enjoyed the bout..i was rather shocked to see dela hoya as purple as an eggplant.I cant wait to watch Hatton-Pacquiao fight.That should be interesting..

what an athlete–my friends and i have followed his career since he was a flyweight..now he is such a Mexicutioner! the last two fights, we had a potluck party..we were a rowdy crowd!!!

what’s next for de la Hoya?? maybe a stint at ‘dancing with the stars’—some of the “stars” in that show have exceeded their shelf-life. hee….but with all those millions, he won’t need extra exposure.

Adam, thanks for the correction, you aren’t being picky since it goes beyond political correctness. I’ve heard Welsh pool players insist on being called such instead of being referred to as English. I got him confused with Joe Calzaghe.
