Oppose new rules
 

To whom it may concern, as a USA boxing amateur coach for nearly ten years and parent of an amateur boxer, I vehemently oppose this current bill. It unnecessarily joins amateur boxing to other activities. USA boxing is one of the strictest-regulated amateur sports in the country and there is absolutely no need to lump it on to this bill. You have completely hamstrung amateur boxing in VA and we are currently the laughingstock of USA boxing due to our inability to host our own shows. Please, please, please repeal and leave amateur boxing in VA 100% under the safe, effective auspices of USA boxing. Thank you
