However, it was more pathetic than amusing. In fact, it was embarrassing to witness. It was as if we had no right to be there, no right to witness the manifestation of this man s countless inner demons, even in the name journalism. Somehow, it seems, he should be allowed to fight those demons in private. That s not to say he shouldn t be allowed to box.
Every man has the right to make a living.
However, he shouldn t be paraded in front of the world like a two-headed man at a circus side show to help sell the fight. Not even Tyson, who is a human being after all, deserves that any longer. The man is ill, he s deranged, and he s on medication that obviously is taking a toll on him. Of course not. And, at least to some extent, Tyson should be protected by his handlers rather than thrown to the public so they can make a few extra dollars, and so a voyeuristic world can see how ill he really is.
