The braggart was hated by everyone, even the media, until he came out as a draft dodger. Suddenly the MSM rehabilitated him form loud mouth braggart to a beloved sports figure.
He was converted by Elijah Mohammed in one visit in jail. Went in a Baptist, came out as a black moslem iman teacher who was anti-war. Who ever heard of an anti-war moslem iman conscientious Objector! If so, he could have been a medic or spent his two years working in a hospital.
If drafted, the sports writers of the time said he would be too valuable to send to Vietnam. He would be used for Public Relations purposes and boxing demos.
I rank him right up there next to treasonous WALTER CRONKITE, JAME FONDA, CASSIUS CLAY MOHAMED ALI.
He was a draft dodging traitor. Cassius Clay was no hero. The men who answered the call to service to their country were. He was muslim scum.
