Don's Bio

Born in New Orleans, LA to the parents of two St. Lucian immigrants. Raised in Southern California. I am a huge NFL American Football Fan, Boxing Fan, NBA Basketball Fan, and European Football (Soccer) Fan. I love writing about issues in sports on and off the field. Social issues affecting athletes, fans and communities regarding sports are my hot topic of discussion grew up mainly watching the NFL, Boxing, and the NBA, however I have a special love for the beautiful game European Football (Soccer). My advice to people who watch sports is this; the stronger, the faster, the bigger, and the smarter athlete always win, a great combination of all four makes a great athlete, regardless to what the sport is.

first things things. you claim that boxing is not a passionate sport but one of skill, i'd like to know how you can be dedicated to your discipline if you are not passionate about your art.

definition of passion : "a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything". but like you say boxing in your world is not about passion, you can keep that opinion and share it with simple minded folks like yourself.

further, i never said Floyd wasnt great, i just want someone to knock his ass out to teach some humility, but since you hung on the man and you have a gift for prophecy i guess that will never happen.

as for you not respecting me anymore, Nail, i dont get off your respect. i live regardless. I love boxing and the art that it is, i just dont like Floyd. get over it.

and yeah i am black and from Soweto, but like a typical black man who is suffering from a depraved self esteem, dont assume that becuase i am black i'll be a fan of a every black athlete. this is sport not politics.

you sound like an intelligent man, dont act stupid.

Hey,

Hope you are doing swell.

In my next installment for my Indiana Hoosiers articles, I look into former quarterback Kellen Lewis. He was truly a star with IU, but then failed himself after off-the-field violations which got him cut from the University. Now he stands at a Div. II school at Valdosta St. and trying to build his way up.

I really hope you enjoy! I'd love your feedback on this, it'd be much appreciated.

All the best,
Josh Dhani
