I’m a boxer and I used to teach. As counterintuitive as it sounds, having a constructive outlet for aggression in a disciplined manner is very healthy and helpful to reduce violence. Boxing, as other martial arts, requires a lot of discipline and concentration, it’s not just going to hand someone the ability to be able to knock out others.

People like boxing.
I don't even think the city was defrauded of a worth-investigating amount of money in this case, just someone didn't follow the rules of how these grants were supposed to work.
But boxing? The thing that makes the CTE rates of the NFL look like a gentle sport?
