The Tyson Reinstatement

October 21, 1998 | ISSUE 34•12

Last week, a team of psychologists declared boxer Mike Tyson–suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission last year for biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear–"troubled" but fit to fight. What do you think about Tyson's bid for reinstatement?

  • I'm still not convinced that Tyson has the emotional and mental stability necessary to pummel the shit out of somebody."

    Amanda Petry
    Legal Secretary

  • Tyson just hasn't been the same since that one time he was born.

    Danielle Garbey
    School Psychologist

  • If the commission refuses to reinstate Tyson I'm sure he'll be happy to return to his first love: sexual assault.

    Chris Rozema
    Sales Consultant

  • Tyson should be allowed to box only if he truthfully answers one question: Why'd he fuck Joey?

    Jonathan Brookens
    Systems Analyst

  • Tyson was provoked by Holyfield. The videotape clearly shows Holyfield hitting him.

    Tony Wilcox
    Surgeon

  • That guy? He's nuts. I don't care what anybody says–that Freeman Dyson is one whacked-out physicist if he thinks anyone will ever construct a mobile artificial planet.

    Jerry Lopez
    Mathematician
