Muhammad Ali has been placed on life support — and his family fears that it “likely won’t be long until he passes away,” according to a report. The boxing legend was hospitalized in Scottsdale, Ariz., for a respiratory issue on Thursday and insiders tell Radar Online that his loved ones are now rushing to his side because it appears his condition has worsened. “He needs every bit of fight he’s got left to survive,” a source told the website. “Doctors are telling the family that it likely won’t be long until he passes away.”

‘BURN IN HELL Draft dodger!’

I don’t have any use for draft dodgers but he did stand up for what he believed in and took the consequences, unlike the pukes going to Canada or the rich kids hiding behind student deferments.

You know you’ve lived through some crazy stuff when “Muhammad Ali” is a gentle moderate and elder statesman.

I've attended a lot of sports events in my life. I was there when Mays made the catch. I was there when Summerall kicked the 49 yard field goal in the snow. I've been on hand for four triple crown winners. Among the greatest sports events I've witnessed, and I only did it remotely in a movie theater in Springfield, Mass., was the first Ali-Frazier fight.

If he dies as a Muslim, he will go to hell.

‘If he dies as a Muslim, he will go to hell’

Maybe, it’s above my pay grade to make that call...

Y’all remember this? I sure do. I haven’t heard that song since junior high or so. But I never forgot those lyrics.

Muhammad
Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly
And stings like a bee
He moves like
The black superman
I’m Ali - catch me if you can

Thank you. Much better than then the shameful Navy Vet response. Ali is a devout Muslim and does not run. How much better the world would be if all Muslims were like Ali. As a young man I remember Cassius Clay as a truly great athlete. More of today’s athletes should be like Ali.

The death and funeral of Muhammad Ali will require wall-to-wall coverage by the mainstream media to the exclusion of anything so mundane as the California primary, especially if Trump and Bernie win.

I’m sure he planned it that way.....

I remember how he dodged the draft. It was something like this.

He is drafted, refused to go, is thrown in jail.
Goes to jail as Cassius Clay, is visited by Elijah Mohamed and converts to black islam. Comes out of jail as Mohamed Ali and is suddenly a “teacher” of islam, an IMAN!
Uses his claim as an Iman to declare himself a “consiencious objector”. Now who ever heard of a moslem iman who did not LOVE going to war and kill people!

The US news media immediately began a rehabilitation of his record portraying him as a beloved sports figure.
Did he go to work in a hospital as other objectors did? NO! A Medic? NO!
His case goes to the supreme court, loaded with pinko leftists and WINS in his favor.

It was said by sports writers at that time, that if he HAD allowed himself to be drafted, he would not be sent to Vietnam but would have stayed stateside and used for boxing demo purposes and Public Relations.

Then you have to presume he knew that, too.

So what's left, once cowardice is out? Maybe, that to the best of his ability, he actually believed in what he was saying?

I really liked Muhammad Ali when I was younger but soured on him as I got older. Probably the two biggest issues are his treatment of Joe Frazier and his embrace of Islam. I wish Ali would have listened to George Foreman's Gospel presentation. I understand that Big George has tried numerous times.

I continue to respect Ali's boxing abilities even as I soured on him as a person. If there could be a round-robin tournament of all the great heavyweight champions of all time, I suspect Ali would emerge at the top of the standings, although I doubt he would be unbeaten.

It’s very clear. The Bible says that only by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will you go to heaven. Other wise you go to hell.
