When I was college student, aeons ago, the student body got very worked up about a visit to Ireland of a South African sporting team. Pickets were organised, motions proposed at debating societies etc. etc. Then some one stood up and laconically remarked - "But it's a BOXING team, for God's sake! I thought the whole point was to beat the shite out of them!".
