Adonis Stevenson in critical condition

Local boxer Adonis Stevenson is in critical condition after a match in Quebec City. The news is being widely reported (graphic photo there).

I’m going to go all female for a moment: I think a sport where the goal is to knock someone else out oughtn’t to continue. There, I said it.

Update: Radio-Canada found a neurosurgeon to condemn boxing, saying it makes no sense when the goal of a sport is to cause concussion.

As of Sunday evening, Stevenson is said to be stable in an induced coma.
