Clint Eastwood directed and starred in Million Dollar
Baby, a movie about a boxer named Maggie who is a female
Who he reluctantly agrees to train because he thought she
was too old and in the ring would fail
She started winning and he arranged a fight with a $ million
purse against Billie “The Bear”
Who was the Welter Weight Champion who had a reputation for
not fighting fair
And who after the bell ending a round had rung sucker
punched her in the back of her head
Causing Maggie to fall forward and break neck to become a quadriplegic confined
to a hospital bed
Only a movie but in the Paris Olympics we will be witnessing
the makings of another movie script
Algerian transgender boxer Imane Khelif,
who was gender disqualified from the 2023 World Boxing Championships
Will face
Italy’s Angela Carini this Thursday
To female
athletes like Riley Gaines causing total dismay
Outrage on
social media that the dangers to female boxers the IOC would downplay
We must pray
that this transgender who should be banned does not Carini slay
