No not the champ

We knew this day was coming.

Its beautiful that it was extended this long but we knew this day was coming.

 

[George's Dilemma]

Only good thing gonna come out of this is all the young dudes fixing to find out how HUGE Ali was as a figure. Easily as big any star is sports history in his time.

Could make for some interesting conversations regarding race and religion considering this political season. So many folks view Ali as a hero, or recognize his legacy as iconic, however, don't realize the complexities involved as it relates to race and religion. I always find it curious when I see white people view him as heroic in an age where people who have similar attitudes and beliefs as Ali are labeled as divisive at least and demonized at worst.

Regardless, I hope he's able to go without suffering. There's no replacing him. Cut from a completely different cloth as were so many who came of age during "those years."

 

[Methodical]

not my greatest but I think he doesn't want to suffer anymore

 

[Amy Traphouse]

He's been on the downhill of parkinsons for years. If he's unable to survive without artificial support then why prolong it just to say "he's alive".

 

[Ashtrey]

My first role model. The original GOAT.

Asalaamu Alaikum

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Ali lost so many prime years of boxing after he got banned because he refused to go to Vietnam.
imagine how amazing it would have been if he was able to fight all those years.

I wish him and his family the best.
