Music superstar Beyoncé presented NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick with the Muhammed Ali Legacy Award on Tuesday.

Photos posted on Twitter show Beyoncé making the surprise appearance to present Kaepernick with the award.

Sports Illustrated announced Kaepernick as the recipient of the award last week.

The award is given each year to someone who "embodies the ideals of sportsmanship, leadership and philanthropy and has used sports as a platform for changing the world," the magazine said.

Sports Illustrated said Kaepernick is receiving the honor due to his "steadfastness in the fight for social justice, for his adherence to his beliefs no matter the cost."

When Ali unsteadily held up the lit olympic torch during the opening ceremony at one of the olympics, Ice Cube’s great song ‘Today was a Good Day’ was popular. When I saw that unsteady ali, I couldn’t help but think of a line from that Ice Cube song: ‘Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake it!’ Lol!

Cassius Clay was a draft dodger, but he would have stood up for our nations anthem...

Stupid! Ali was a man of principle. He opposed the draft because he opposed the actions in Viet Nam. He was a practicing Muslim.

Kaepernick is a jerk. He has already said that he will stop protesting and play if someone will pick him up and pay him. Principle? Zero! Just a rabble rouser.

Yeah, Kaepernick made the “ultimate sacrife”. At least according to another jock philosopher. What a hero. Not!

Coming from Beyonce, makes sense. After all, he will be the one who brings down the NFL. Nice going, Colin and Beyonce.

Ali was a piece of human garbage.

He had the mentality of a 12 year old.

He did whatever his Nation of Islam masters told him to do.

He didn’t oppose anything. He was a tool who parroted was what he was told to say by his Nation of Islam handlers.

“He was a practicing muslim.”

You say that as if that is commendable?

"In the prime of his career Ali chose to walk away from the spotlight that accompanies being the greatest boxer of his generation."

You couldn't be more wrong:

You have swallowed the leftwing media sales pitch.

Here is the real Ali:

Ali takes a rest during his fight with Joe Frazier


Media-created fraud Ali just got clobbered by Joe Frazier's left hook.


The talented Ali practices the limbo in his fight with Joe Frazier.


The athletic Ali practices his leg raises during his fight with Joe Frazier.


Ali tries out new boxing stance in his fight with Joe Frazier.


Jimmy Young harassing terrified, swollen-faced Ali.


Ali knocked down by 185 pound Henry Cooper’s left hook in his fight immediately before Ali's two fakes with Sonny Liston.

The bell rang ending the round as Ali got up and lurched toward his corner.

Then Ali got a rest of several minutes between rounds before the fight resumed, instead of the legal one minute between rounds.


Ali knocked down by Sonny Banks’ left hook.

Ali could not defend himself against a left hook.


Ali holds the distinction of being the only heavyweight champion in the history of boxing to lose his title to a novice who had only seven professional fights--Leon Spinks.

One day there will be a Colin Kaepernick Legacy Award that will celebrate mediocrity, race-baiting, and virtue signaling.

An ass-wagging singer presenting an award to a communists-racist regarding a draft-dodging, Nation of Islam Moslem mush-head.

Next year’s nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize to be given by Obamie the Commie.
