Muhammed Ali won't be down for breakfast.

It doesn't take much to snowball you. Ali did what he did for one reason, money. He was an entertainer. His persona was nothing but an act. Slobber on....

Ali went broke due to his objection for serving.

 

[MadDogs]

Tyson went broke and he didn't serve.

Remember when 2 people bashed Aubrey Mclendon when he killed himself and OSA hivemind went bananas?

Well......white people were hanging black men and treating blacks as if they weren't worthy of being citizens of the U.S. at the time of that interview. Boxing is about beating the **** out of people like NASCAR is about crashing cars.

Ali was also aligned with the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.

You know MLK spoke out against Ali when he joined the Nation of Islam, right? He said, "When Cassius Clay joined the Black Muslims and started calling himself Cassius X, he became a champion of racial segregation."[

They didn't not agree on intergation, they agreed on advancing the rights of blacks.

Elvis Presley and Marion Mitchell Morrison were regular war heroes.

Might want to do a little more reading about John Wayne's history.

Waylon Jennings cheated on his wife. I doubt he'd be shittalked this much when he died had OSA been around in 2002.

Christ almighty. Who models their own life of ANYONE else, anyways? He was a boxer and a public figure and a damned good and interesting one at that.

The founding fathers everyone here reveres so much had some dirt on their shoes, too.

Ali brought controversy and challenged established norms. That's always needed. Apparently he can piss people here off from beyond the grave - sounds like his hyperbolic trash talk had some merit too it.

He also contributed millions of his own money to charities.

Nah. If I'm going to read about an actor I'll pick a good one.

I don't care for him much either.
