How Ali found God and became a Republican

It fails to point out what "God" he is referring to.

RIP to The Greatest, and my favorite athlete of all time. His exchanges with Howard Cosell were legendary. My favorite quote came when Cosell said he was being extremely truculent:

"Whatever truculent mean, if that's good, I'm that!"

[Strac6]

RIP and all that, but never forget he was a White-hating, Malcolm X loving, America - hating draft dodger.

Dean Martin Celebrity Roast - Muhammad Ali

HIlarious. It's also remarkable to look back and see how multicultural America used to handle intergroup tensions with humor. All of them are making jokes about their own ethnicities as well as the other persons'. Now we have been taken over the the humorless leftists. I think they are that way not only because they can't take a joke, but because often they can't understand a joke. Other people laugh, and they still haven't gotten it, so all laughing must stop.

Rest in peace.

He did NOT survive those fights, at least in any meaningful way. I represented Howard Cosell on a number of matters and I remember him getting very angry anytime some othet sportscaster said Muhammad Ali had Parkinson’s disease.

Howard would look at the screen and muther, “ It’s not Parkinson’s disease, you idiot, it’s Parkinson’s-like symptoms, caused by the huge number of hard blows he took to the Head. In any other fighter we would simply call him punch drunk. But for Ali, we always we have to pretend it’s not.!!”

Howard was very angry and very sad for what his friend had become, both in his religion and his health

[Albion Wilde]

And how mnay billions of others since the dawn of time that never even HEARD of Jesus ???

The Bible explains that. Give it a read.

Parkinson’s disease is an awful thing. I have sympathy for him for that. However, Ali is still one of the most over-rated human beings of our generation.

No Muhammad Ali worship here. Cassius Clay/Mo Ali was no patriot like Joe Louis. He absorbed the up-yours-white America that’s part of the Nation of Islam and unlike some other celebrities of the day refused to serve the country.

He’s a big reason if not the major reason that braggart athletes have become the norm. But he is one of the major idols for the American Church of Sports, that particularly mindless sect that worships money and fame, so his place in that pantheon is secure despite grouching from heretics like me.

“American Church of Sports” ain’t that the truth. This Sunday my kid’s flag football team has an all day pilgrimage. Unfortunately he will be going to a Christian Church and miss it.

No RIPs from this household

What a super cool guy. I box and while jumping rope there is a poster of Ali that says

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

He was awesome RIP

[datricker]

Who would have thought when they came to the fight? That they’d witness the launching of a human satellite. Yes the crowd did not dream, when they put up the money, That they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny.

So wonderful - I don't remember this one

[Theodore R.]

One of the networks this morning kept showing him pictured in separate photos with Mr. Bill and GWB.

[Theodore R.]

Sports is now the religion of America.

[Theodore R.]

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

One of many lines rejected by the American people

Enjoy your 72 raisins.

Funny! In “sting like a bee’s day”, Pacquiao, with both hands tied behind his back would have cleaned c”ass”ius’s clock before the first ring of the bell, and then of course Manny, as now, would move on to his other part-time world achievements!

Manny Pacquiao knowingly fought with a bum shoulder in that terrible fight against awful but technically great and super quick (ahhh hate to say that) Floyd Mayweather.

As a boxer I think Pacquiao committed fraud essentially it was a fixed fight and I lost all respect that I had had for him. Which was a lot.

However its all mute Ali was a heavy weight Pacquiao needs to put rocks in his pockets to not get blown away by a gust of wind. Ali would destroy Pacquiao. Please watch Juan Marquez do exactly that here Pacquiao Rocked
