Mohamed Ali Has Passed Away

...ok, forget the age factor. You were just plain WRONG on your assessment that the poke at Ali was due to his Muslim religion. Had nothing to do with it!

Sure it does not. I get it. Minorities suck. We get annoyed of their preaching to save their own rights. The common thing is not to care for them as they care for themselves and get annoyed by the way they always preach and preach. But this does not change the fact that the words are true. You can find Ali and alikes annoying and not fitting to the ideal sportsmanship enough, but he is talking about a social class fact, a matter of exploitation of centuries. And every human being hates to feel guilt and their defensive mechanism to blame other spots joins right away. When you serve in the navy, you feel like you have to be nationalist. Not emphasize the faults. It's the same thing everywhere. But actually when you serve and fight and meet the enemy, you learn that no person is different from one another because of race or religion. The hate is a bag of seeds planted to our hearts by the ones who govern. so that there always is a common enemy, and people should get closer to the governor with the idea of integratedness, solidarity.

...never said I hated him, just that he was the perpetrator of bad sportsmanship way back when he started his boxing career, that has escalated to every professional sport being played on this planet!

I think trash talking is older and more common that Ali, sir.

We know many of the great things this man did but let's not paint him to be a God. I know we're all fallible but he had 9-10 children with 5-6 different women including four wives and 1-2 baby mamas.

So did Brigham Young. Heck BY had a lot more children and baby mamas than Ali could dream of having. Ali personal failing as you call them, can't tarnish what he meant to the sports world and society. Few people are willing to go to jail for their person beliefs so I agree he wasn't God but he was a great human being loved by millions.

Athlete of the Century? Who they trying to shuck? No athlete that performs only twice a year can be considered as the athlete of the Century! My choice would have been Nolan Ryan! 7 NO HITTERS, 2 of them after he turned 40! 5,000 strikeouts and 12 ONE HITTERS!

This post shows how much of a clown you are. Ryan isn't in the top 10-20 best pitchers of the 20th century. Maybe even top 30-40.

So because Brigham Young did it, it makes it okay? Ali was a known womanizer and had affair after affair. I think the bad should be pointed with the good most of us know about.

Good point! Ali certainly "reaped what he had sown!" Those beatings he took from Frazier and other boxing matches, turned him into a vegetable the last 10 years or so of his life, and he was a pathetic sight to see when he did venture out into the public.
