Louisville will not only be wearing their new red chrome helmets when they take on Florida State on Saturday, the helmets will be sporting a butterfly "Ali" decal in honor of the late Louisville native and legendary boxer Muhammad Ali...

It may be just me so please explain to me why so many revere a guy as a hero that changed his religion and religion to get out of service of his country in the military? I don't really don't want to hear about him objecting to a war he didn't believe in or that he felt he was not treated equally as a black man in the USA but was expected to fight on the behalf of another country? USAF

Imagine for a moment, if you can, someone else having a different frame of reference, a different experience and set of circumstance on this earth than you. Try, it might open up that narrow mind.

@Supreme Tiger Thank you for the suggestion. I do have a different frame of reference and experience circumstances since I came to the USA as an orphaned Vietnamese immigrant infant (saved by US marines that had the mercy to put me on a Naval Carrier) which is why I felt compelled to repay my country in the USAF. I lived in foster care and group homes (sometimes government issued cheese) in Louisiana and although it wasn't a good life, I thank God's grace for giving me enough intelligence and drive to get two degrees to do make something of my life. I have witnessed with my own eyes growing up in foster care how natural born citizens abuse the system such as baby mommas pumping out babies to get more welfare and food stamps while one of many boyfriends lived in the household (unreported of course). I ask you to "Imagine for a moment" how an insignificant immigrant orphaned child that saw how working hard and pursuing an education could bring the American dream to reality rather than pointing the finger at why anyone when they are not living the live they think they are entitled to. I could have easily made more money in the civilian world but chose to pay back my country (the one surely saved me from death) by serving in our mighty military. That said, I am blessed and I feel my worst living in America is better than my worst growing up (or dying) in Vietnam. You struck a nerve with your comment. I hope you or anyone realizes how Blessed they are to be in the USA citizen. Not to insult you but you sound like a Hillary voter. Forgive me if you are not a Hillary voter. Don't be so myopic. TLDR?: Don't ask others to imagine things that are far less in hardship than you think is a hardship. In your case perception is reality but "imagine" researching the many aspects of "frame of reference or experience" of others and somewhere in there you will find the truth. God Bless America and GEAUX TIGERS!

PR. Who wouldn't want to align with such an icon.

I know it's derived from Ali's famous quote, but that seems like a pretty weak decal for such a revered athlete.

It's badass. Sadly, many males like yourself can't see passed the feminine of a butterfly -- which is a sure sign of false alphaness.
