re: Marlins announce Ali has died

I respect him as an athlete. I respect him after his athletic career for what he has done. My only hang up is calling him "Brave" for dodging the draft. The man has made money hand over fist in his career as well as after and has reaped the fruits of what America offers more than any of us will ever know, more than any of the average soldier who answered the call whether they agreed with the policies of their country or not.

He didint like "America" and its policies during that era but that sure didint stop him from taking full advantage of the American way to the financial benefit of himself and his family.
