Muhammed Ali won't be down for breakfast.

He was a coward and he shall be remembered as one, at least by me.

And you'll be remembered as a real hero yourself, champ.

What about all those boys that did their duty and went to war when their country called them? Those that died while doing so? Were they not standing upon principle?


If we had more Americans like Ali we might be speaking Russian or Japanese. We can argue about the merits of the vietnam war, but when you are called upon to fight for your country, there is no excuse to shirk your duty. There are people whose religious belief does prevent them from fighting. I doubt the adulterous thrice divorced muhammed ali qualifies.

He was a coward and he shall be remembered as one, at least by me.

What branch of the military did you serve?

What branch of the military did you serve?

None. I'm nothing more than a pathetic ROTC aspirant at the moment. Hopefully I will get contracted, if not I'll probably enlist at some point.

But you can bet your sweet ass if I got a draft notice in the mail, I would do what I had to do.
Just like my father, grandfather, great grandfather etc.

While I sincerely admire Ali’s beyond remarkable boxing skills, I still can’t believe that he beat Sonny Liston.

I would be very careful saying that GMThunder has a sweet ass.

I think Ali was rejected at first because he had a low IQ of like 78.

Ali was an entertainer. All professional athletes are entertainers. They do it for the money. You watch them to be entertained. That's all there is to it. There status as entertainers does not automattically make them some kind of praise worthy hero. He died. Lots of people died. Someday we'll all die.

Let the slobber fest continue.

If only we could reject you from posting here for similar reasons.

Long time coming but damn.

Nice picture Gabriel. Thanks. He was a great boxer and an even greater showman. The world was better with him in it.

My Granny liked him for some reason. She also liked "pro" wrestling though.
