THATS THE EXACT REASON THAT I DID THIS POST!

statements like that one!

"the greatness that was Ali"

Its not about respect or lack of it for Ali.
(I'm sure I watched more live televised Ali fights at the time and listened to more commentary than any person here, (I'm 46))
And certainly not an aversion...
Just trying to provide a sense of balance. thats all...
The mythical proportions the guy has taken on....it's just over the top..
"the greatness that was........ALI"........Geeeesh..

I didn't want to start a Vietnam war post. Or Anti- ALI
I just refuse to worship at the alter....."that is.......ALI....."
Hey if you want to... fill your boots dude..

How come my post about ALI being Irish (like me) went almost
unnoticed??
