...fear the amount of influence the media have in shaping the perception of events, a misgiving that was reinforced by your theme, "Pictures from a Year the News Turned Emotional." That fear is, unfortunately, justified when good judgment is not exercised. The close-up photograph of Evander Holyfield's ear not only turned my stomach (again) but also made me ashamed of our culture.

...Tyson's teeth Bite Me, Part II: in his bout with Evander Holyfield, Iron Mike chomped twice on the heavyweight champ's ear; he lost the fight and, for a year, his license to box.

Facing possible charges of assault, Slater later issued a statement expressing regret about the incident...
...Evander Holyfield created undue advantage for himself in the very early rounds of the fight through a head butt. No matter how it is masked, a head butt is a foul in the boxing arena. Tyson, through his biting actions, was simply saying, "Hey, friend! If you want to fight, please, let's fight clean. I'm not going to fold my arms and let you take me out with unfair tactics." It takes courage to do what Tyson did. In our society, it has become clear that the opposite of courage is not cowardice but conformity. IKECHUKWUE IBENEGBU Columbus...
