If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

But the fact is a lot of other men didn't have a choice. He used his fame and wealth to get away with it. While pretending to be someone he was not.

Also, he was an adamant racist.

Like, I'm sorry if you can't see who he was for what he was because he was a great athlete. Look into life. Something more than a 20 minute special on ESPN maybe. Look into his many families. He married a 15 year old girl at one point.

No lets willingly get drafted for a war we didn't even belong in to begin with that sounds like a good idea.

Ali got 3 years for dodging but at least he didn't get hosed up by some vietcong death trap for no reason other than our lovely government.

No doubt he was a great athlete, but I'm disgusted by how people are praising him as a hero.

He was no hero. He was an athlete who disrespected his opponents, was super cocky, and ultimately paid the price for his outdated fighting style.

I'm not saying he didn't make positive contributions but there's no need to paint over the ugly side of his story.

Truth be told, if Ali joined the war effort he'd probably get a pretty cushy position mostly working to drive recruitment rates and the like.
