What was your old man's favorite sporting event?

Husky Football, no contest. My dad grew up a Husky fan in Tacoma. Later played D2 ball after serving in the Pacific, but remained loyal to UW, loved Don James and Jim Lambright and used to call me during games to make sure I was watching, well into his 70s. Boxing was always a close 2nd.
 
As a man who grew up in the barrios of Texas during the depression and WwII, boxing was king. As a mild racist for the time, he rarely bet on the white guy. He enjoyed the Mexican bouts, but anytime he could see some large black men beat the shit out of each other in a boxing ring, it was heaven.

Man loved Muhammad Ali. And OJ Simpson, but that’s another story.
 
My dad liked the games in Saigon
