RIP to the Greatest. Truly staggering when you consider what he risked and lost to stand up for his principles, whereas we live in a better situation today yet most athletes refuse to take even the most minor stance for what's right. Dude risked jail and lost his HW title to help spark the anti-Vietnam war movement. I thought about that so much a few years ago when the Clippers decided to play that playoff game after the Donald Sterling thing. They should NOT have played that game. Hell I wish the players shut the entire playoffs down and said there would not be one more game until Sterling was removed.

Its just odd seeing Whites, non-Black Muslims, and even African muslims who have a propensity of calling African Americans the n word or making fun of our heritage and enslaved ancestors pay respects but I guess thats how it is when you "transcend." Its a damn shame I didn't grow up in an era where athletes actually had a message to deliver to the world.

Peep this



Even right wing cacs are calling them out :mjlol:
