I think she'd be pretty impressed! I mean… she could only WISH that women might be accepted for their physical or mental strength, both well represented by the FLOTUS.

3. You are mistaken. Eleanor rather insisted that they be accepted for all their strengths,

as she did for many people. She also went out of her way to insure the press knew it too.

Which is why I quite imagine that she would be impressed with the current FLOTUS' definition of physical strength.

I guess you're saying that Eleanor was no shrinking violet about being recognized, but too little recognition was what she received in return.

9. boxing is to injure your opponent

Boxing is the only "sport" where the sole objective is to give your opponent a concussion (knock out). Boxing is barbarous.

Sure, injuries happen in football, hockey, wrestling (staged or real), but they are "accidental" in winning.

flat onto the mat in the first round. (And she'll do it without making those goofy POPEYE faces.)

How about it, folks? Celebrity boxing for charity?
