...take in the name of preserving the strength of academics, in practice it is blatantly unfair. The inconsistency in the fact that 40 Harvard sports teams are eligible for post-season play and only one is not speaks for itself. While the case can be made that the size of the football team, its intense nature of commitment, and its broad appeal to fans could merit special treatment (or in this case, exclusion), these arguments are weak and unsustainable.

In depressed Youngstown, she appeared with hometown favorite Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik, the middleweight boxing champion, and declared: "I'm a fighter, a doer and a champion...
