Jones Jumps On Trinidad

Main No Comments »

Undefeated junior welterweight Devon Alexander (14-0, 9 KOs) provided his own sound effects after landing every punch with an audible grunt in pounding out an impressive ten round unanimous decision over the veteran campaigner DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley (31-8-1, 17 KO’s).

Alexander (138 Â½) repeatedly connected with stunning and rapid-fire combinations in hammering out the victory over the longtime southpaw contender Corley (138) from Washington DC. The talented 20-year-old lefthander Alexander St. Louis, Missouri continued to get off first and was the far busier fighter in landing stunning blows that eventually almost totally closed Corley’s left eye.

Mohamed Zidan scored two goals as the Egypt team turned in a sparkling display even though they were missing key players in Mido, Ghaly, and captain Ahmad Hassan. Samuel Eto’o pulled two goals back but it was too little and too late.

The politics of gestures: The politics of entitlement

Main No Comments »

Man Utd boss Sir Alex is in the news again for making an obscene gesture at Wally Downes and the Reading fans. He purportedly ‘flipped the bird’ but it looked more like the ‘fisting’ version.

The manager of the league leaders makes an angry gesture at a club staving of relegation. This is Commedia Dell’Arte. Sir Alex is the persecuted one in this case because Reading gave his team a run around. The injustice of it all. He was relieved that it turned out well and gave vent to his feelings. My persecuted bladder roams around in NYC looking for a public restroom nowhere to be found. Do I relieve myself on the streets in protest? Its a real quandary.

Surely, Steve Coppell should be walking around alternately ‘fisting’ both hands after the way his club season has gone. In fact, the FA should have given him an ‘early bird’ special after the Spurs game. But he is a manager of a small, relatively poor club and they have to remain classy. You can’t be poor AND petty. Its too bourgeois. But competitive is the codeword. When Sir Alex does it he is being ‘famously competitive’ or has his ‘competitive juices’ flowing or whatever schlock is used as descriptors. If Coppell does it, he is being a sore loser. His season is going to pieces. He has venereal disease. He is a psychotic mofo. He probably has credit card debt.
