    What are chances he just didn't want to go to war so made up religious convictions?

    Hell, I'd do it.

    Weird he picked a religion that is fully endorses executing gays and doing terrible things to women to the applause of liberal Americans though.

    Does your theory make sense if you look at it in the context of his whole life, and what he showed himself to be day in and out?

    No.

    RIP Muhammad Ali. Dude had a great life, despite his illness, he never gave up fighting any challenge life threw his way. Exactly how real Champions live. Tough day for Louisvillians.

    I'll never forget those classic Ali / Howard Cosell interviews. Cosell loved Ali and they were great friends, how many media people could you ever say were true friends with the athletes they interview.

    No.
    The reality is that Liberals try to paint Islam as the religion of peace, when the majority of people who practice Islam treat women like dogs or support laws that treat women like dogs and support killing those who leave Islam and homosexuals.

    This is a liberal narrative. Islamic extremists are a problem, but so are normal muslims considering around half of them support the penalty of death for homosexuals, people who leave the religion, or even women who have the nerve to show their face in public.

    Maybe not, but he was incredibly dumb, considering he converted to Islam.

    But, did ALI participate?

    So his morals prevent him from fighting America's wars, but not making himself wildly rich and famous off of American capitalism?

    What a hero.




    Hey, he was charismatic enough to pull the wool over most people's eyes, so good for him. He won at life for sure.

    Not mutually exclusive things. He simply said "Man, I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong"


    He didn't say he had a problem with American capitalism.

    Done with you, since you have an agenda yet no proof for it.

    Creed's tragic loss to Ivan Drago was an exhibition so that technically doesn't affect his W/L record. That being said, his only career loss was to the great Rocky Balboa and that bout went the full 15 rounds before Rocky won by a mere second in one of the greatest finishes in the history of the sport.

    Ali was great, but let's not confuse him with the peerless Apollo Creed aka The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Count of Monte Fisto!!!

    If people only fought in wars that personally impacted them, there would be no point to the draft at all.

    Maybe that's a good point. Maybe the draft is stupid. Maybe if America was ever in a real war, we shouldn't force 18 year olds to defend this country.

    But acting like he had a just reason for dodging the draft is preposterous. He made millions in this country. If he was truly morally outraged enough to commit a crime and dodge a draft, he should have bolted America and everything America provided for him.
