I guess you're saying that Eleanor was no shrinking violet about being recognized, but too little recognition was what she received in return.

(967 posts)Boxing is the only "sport" where the sole objective is to give your opponent a concussion (knock out). Boxing is barbarous.
Sure, injuries happen in football, hockey, wrestling (staged or real), but they are "accidental" in winning.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
