This New York Times article talks about Emile Griffith, whose boxing experience sparked enough interest to be made into a movie, Ring of Fire, airing

He was a black boxer who pulverized his latino opponent one night. He did it, primarily because he was tired of people questioning his sexuality and making rude comments and accusations.

He took his anger out on a man who called him a "maricon".

Bet ya never heard of him, huh?
