some would gleefully flock to a message board to denounce a man most of them had never met, and with such vitriol and ignorance.



But to be honest, that is no more ignorant than others who flock to the message boards to announce him as a hero and best thing ever when they have never met him.

You only know what you have read, just like the ones who denounce him


He was a great athlete. Weather he was a great person is not known by a single person here

Personal interactions matter. Definitely is not definitive but it's a glimpse into the character of a man.

So yeah, those recollections are part of the man and what he meant to those who interacted with him. Compared to those that just spout old hard hat vitriol about not participating in Vietnam...the type of people who supported Joe Frazier over Ali over Vietnam and then dropped Frazier like a napkin the second the fight was over...those sort of people, like one poster in this thread.
