This thread needs to be over on Blowout.
And there is one there similar.
Ali was a great boxer. Maybe the Greatest. But not a great American.
Check out his links to Malcom X, his sudden conversion to Islam (religion covered) his video clips where he states, the Viet Cong aren't his enemies, the white people are.
The draft dodging isn't really an issue with me. Too many names to add to that list. Start with Kerry, Clinton and Bush.
But his life, as a whole, does not impress me.
If he is your hero, fine. So be it.
He just wasn't mine.
In closing, I salute Pat Tillman.
Google if you need to OP.
P.S. - "Cat Scratch Fever"
