George Foreman Has Challenged Steven Seagal To A Duel
There are a lot of stupid things a human being can do — fall into the subway tracks while texting, give your bank account information and address to a stranger on the Internet claiming to be a Nigerian prince, elect a reality television star who has spent more than 15 hours of his time on “The Howard Stern Show” to the highest office in the land — but perhaps not one single act is more stupid than challenging Steven Seagal, American movie star and martial arts master, to a duel.
And yet this is exactly what George Foreman, former boxer and the man behind the eponymous grills, did today on Twitter.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
