Be really baaaad Boxer Ayala setting a new trend with monitoring deviceUpdated: Thursday August 02, 2001 3:58 PM
Hey, kids. Ready for something cool? Looking for the latest in action athletic apparel? Well, get the hammer out and deliver a good, solid blow to the family piggy bank. 'Cause here it is -- the electronic monitoring device for your ankle. You want to look like the pros? Dress like the pros? Strap this baby onto the ankle of your choice and get working. You, too, can be a big-time boxer. Just like Tony Ayala Jr. Did you see his 10-round decision over Santos Cardona this week in San Antonio? Tony was mean and he was lean and his parole officer was with him every step of the way. The wonders of the electronic age never cease to amaze! A convicted rapist, with a count of burglary with intent to commit sexual assault hanging over his head, can still do his athletic business! And do it well! And be a role model for the youth of America in the process! So strap it on, kids. Pretend you're both a felon and the future middleweight champion of the world at the same time. From the world of sport we've already given you things like chewing tobacco and jailhouse tattoos and hairstyles that send your parents up the wall. We've given you in-your-face style and win-at-all-costs, me-me-mine attitude. If you're going to be baaaad for the new school year, be really baaaad. Walk the walk. Talk the talk. Finish the picture off with your electronic ankle bracelet. And don't leave home without it. Leigh Montville's commentaries appear regularly on CNN/SportsIllustrated.
