"Mr. King will participate as a panelist and share his thoughts on the unique ability of sports to transcend barriers in language, politics, religion, and gender and how sports have been used as a powerful peacemaking tool."


I wonder if he'll bring up Holmes-Cooney as an example?

 

He'll try to set up a big fight between Omar Sheika and some Israeli boxer.

 

They should've asked DLH to come...he's always got something positive to say about the Jewish people.

 

:laughing:

I wouldn't put it past Don to use it as an opportunity to promote sombody.

He'd probably wave both flags with the star of david and a swaztika if he had a fighter in each "camp". ::

 

I hope Don has the balls to wear his American flag jacket.
