George M. Andes said --- " Remember that this man was stripped of his world heavyweight title " sent to prison for his pacifist religious belief during the Vietnam War. " Professional boxing, argueably one of the most corrupt enterprises going, " wrapped itself in the flag and took advantage of a shameful court decision " that " Ali's conversion to Islam was not genuine but motivated by cowardice and a " desire to avoid the draft. Some cowardice. Would that have happened to a " white man? Ali did not run to Canada or Sweden or another country that would not extradite for draft evasion --- a lot of white men did. I think that they were eventually granted amnesty and allowed to return oley-oley-olson free! From: [log in to unmask] * SLMR 2.1a * McLean Virginia USA Sun 07-21-96 7:08 pm --- * KMail 3.00
