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.

Wow — what a millennium we’re living in.

Perhaps more questionable than the original fight proposal are the responses George Foreman subsequently issued to the many fans who weighed in.

No word yet on whether or not Seagal has taken Foreman up on the offer but if he does, here is what George has to look forward to:

And here is what Steven has to look forward to:

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
