The NAACP was looking out for themselves.
Instead of offering Sonny Liston a guiding-hand, and help to improve his
image, they 'spat' on him.
On Floyd, he ran out of reasons {some legitimate and some not} in not offering
Sonny Liston a challenge for the World Championship.
Not to forget,
Floyd Patterson gave Sonny the opportunity to fight for the Title, but Floyd
and his Management really 'screwed' Sonny and his Manager {Jack Nilon}
over in the fight contact.
The famous Attorney - Roy Cohn was involved in 'shafting' the Liston Team.
Did the NAACP look into this 'F***ing' to help Sonny.
NO, unless they got a percentage.
