Ali took the freedoms of America and refused to pay the price. That is being a coward. Maybe folks in Prague can tolerate decades of Soviet domination of their country, but we do things differently in America. We fight when our freedoms and ideals are threatened.
Freedom isn't free,
Unless you're Ali.

i didnt like ali much, especially when i did my tour in nam, and he got out of it. I did have a chance to meet him in the mid 80's, and had lunch with him on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, he was a perfect gentleman, one of the nicer persons i ever met.
my son still has the autograph he did for him framed
i try not to look back at the 60's, too many bad memories being sold down the river by johnson and the mac

Jimmy Hoffa said:
I'm an American, numbnuts. So your poor attempt at insulting an entire country is falling on deaf ears. Ali made a public stand that was a lot more courageous than, say, getting a deferment or going into the National Guard, the easy ways out. And no, I am not criticizing anyone who served in the National Guard. I am not passing judgment here whatsoever. Ali paid the price for his actions, losing some of the prime years of his career and being stripped of his title.
