I am so appalled at the headline on [Monday’s] RedEye (“Fight Club Chicago,” about white-collar boxing) that frankly I can’t even take the time to read it.You asked for suggestions on how one winds down after a stressful day at the office. Well, how about something actually relaxing or creative like music (listening or playing), art (making it or viewing it), reading, dinner with friends, walking, swimming, yoga–even watching mindless TV?

I can’t fathom how fighting can help one “wind down.” I just don’t get it. OK, so you’ll see my age and perhaps think that I am an old fogy, but in this time of wars and poverty and the political craziness, I just don’t see how fighting can help. There are so many more ways to get your stress off. This concept is disgusting.
