Muhammad Ali is coming to Ireland on September 1st!

I never knew he was Irish. Everybody I meet from America seems to have Irish blood, so good old Cassius for following his roots.

Ali's roots are frankly bizarre. A black muslim born and raised in a Christian country who traces his roots, not to Africa (or the Middle East) but to Ireland, a white, Catholic country?

Meh, I'd love to get a pic with Ali. Don't even care if he happened to be drooling on me as it got took. I don't care about the politics of the man.

He was my first hero ever in boxing. Still is today. Charisma galore, that matched his skill set.

My mother was born in Mayo. My father is american predominately of Italian heritiage (his mother was an Immigrant from Sicily). There are 300 million Americans and 40 million claim Irish catholic heritage i think another 20 million Claim Ulster Scots heritage...I believe in regards to the second part. Thats alot of people. The only larger ethnic groups among caucasians are those carrying English and German heritage!

On another note I loved England as well. Probably the single best trip of my life. I was visiting my friends Territorial Army unit. Great partying and nights out. Fun country!!!
