Do we need this BS? Ali is highly respected in all aspects of his life, he stood by his convictions, was respectful, accountable, and deserves, in my opinion, respect. RIP.
Maybe in your mind
I agree. And if we want to talk about draft dodgers lets start with Ted Nugent, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, and Rush Limbaugh.
What BS? The truth is there and the only reason he was highly respected respected is because at the time we were having a low level race war and didn’t want it to go any further. If Frazier was a white guy, there would be a shooting war.
How old are you? Bruno has it right. It is interesting to see the mythology spring up over Ali. Facts are stubborn things.
I was heading north on Virgil coming up on Sunset when I noticed the pulled-over Rolls with Ali talking to a bunch of kids. I waved and yelled “Hey, Champ”, as I drove by. I couldn’t understand what he replied. But it appeared to have rallied the kids even more.
was respectful

You mean when he called Joe Frazier a gorilla?
