Award for the most fans lost to the nfl.
I could not have said it better. The cassius clay award given by a racist pig to a racist mama’s boy.
For his faults, Ali was a champion - Colin is an also-ran....
Whatever...
I hope everyone gets a chance to see the footage of Ali going to the “rumble in the jungle”. He is absolutely beaming with pride as he brags about flying on a black airline with black pilots...and before he lost his mind to dementia, he got to see all that fall apart.
“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?”
You say he didn’t oppose anything - he opposed the draft and stood and defended himself to government employees, hardly the efforts of a 12 yr old.
Yes, he was a practicing Muslim and from what I understand, that takes some study ;(beyond a 12 yr old) and resolve. I never agreed with him but he was a worthwhile person IMO. Lou Alcindor/Kareem Abdul Jabbar is also a practicing
Muslim FWIW.
The fact that you have a different opinion is ok with me.
“You say he didn’t oppose anything - he opposed the draft and stood and defended himself to government employees, hardly the efforts of a 12 yr old.”
Ali took 3 IQ tests in his life. Each time he scored in the 70’s-—borderline moron.
He didn’t oppose the draft. He was a tool who did whatever his murderous Nation of Islam masters told him to do.
He never “stood and defended himself to government employees.” The Nation of Islam supplied his legal representation.
That is, when they weren’t killing Malcolm X, or slaughtering the women and children at the competing Hanafi muslim home in Washington DC, which was bankrolled by basketball player Abdul Jabbar.
To this day, Jabbar has never said a word about that publicly, since he wants to stay alive.
Ali’s Nation of Islam masters kept him fighting, taking bad beating after bad beating until he was a human vegetable when he finally stopped fighting.
If Ali had gone into the service, he would have fought exhibitions for the troops far from the front lines-—just as Joe Louis, Billy Conn and Tony Zale did during WWII.
