The day after shocking the world by defeating the heavily favored Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship in 1964, the man then known as Cassius Clay shocked the world again when he announced that he was abandoning his “s***e name”, joining the Nation Of Islam, and would from that day forward only answer to, or acknowledge the name, Muhammad Ali.

And on that day, he became more than an athlete.

He abandoned the previously accepted role for Black athletes which was to entertain the white masses with their athletic prowess, be grateful for the benefits, and remain silent on anything outside of sports.

Ali was the opposite of that. He called out r****m, challenged oppression, demanded respect as a human being, was mentored by Malcolm X, and embraced his status as a social critic. And much of white America despised him for it. They appreciated his talent, h**ed his politics, and wanted to do everything in their power to silence him.

In that sense, LeBron James has become this generation’s Muhammad Ali

Trump has done everything in his power to ignite his base to turn their ire on any Black athlete whose politics he disagrees with. However, when athletes do support his cause, he does everything in his power to elevate them. He’ll invite them to speak at the Republican National Convention, as he did with Herschel Walker. He’ll invite them to the White House, as he did with Jim Brown and Ray Lewis. He’ll publicly praise your “intelligence”, as he did with Tiger Woods. And he’ll conduct a scripted “spontaneous” call for you after your UFC victory, as he did with Covington.

So it’s not that Trump doesn’t like politics in sports, it’s just that, hypocrite that he is, he only wants politics in sports when it suits him (oddly, Trump had no problem with Ali, once calling him a “friend” although it does not appear the feeling was reciprocated).

Kevi: Not doing your homework again! The bastard t*****r Cassius Clay refused selective service to his country, changed his religion to enhance that move, and threw his Olympic Gold medal into the Ohio river! He was indicted, convicted, but the weak democrats would not sentence him! To this day he is a t*****r to the Country and Patriots who gave the supreme price for our freedoms! He is the typical liberal se******n to hero that corrupts the true meaning of American values. We have too many like him in this country that have been put up on pedestals of lies! MLK, Whitney Houston John McCain just to mention a few!

Now learn a little bit about the man whose name you used for your usual trash.
From Muhammad Ali's son

Four years after the death of boxer and activist Muhammad Ali, the legendary fighter’s son said he is confident his father would have supported President Donald Trump and opposed the Black L***s M****r movement.

Speaking with the New York Post, Muhammad Ali Jr. said, “I think Trump’s a good president. My father would have supported him. Trump’s not a r****t; he’s for all the people. Democrats are the ones who are r****t and not for everybody.”

Regarding the Black L***s M****r movement, Ali Jr. did not mince words. He said he believes his father would have described the B*M activists who have gone on rampages in major cities as “devils.” Ali Jr. said he believes B*M is “r****t.”

The fact that Muhammad Ali’s son thinks his father would have supported Trump probably horrifies B*M activists, who want to portray themselves as civil rights protesters like Ali. The fighter famously refused to be drafted during the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs.

However, Ali Jr. made it clear he does not classify the B*M protests in the same category as his father’s activism. According to the younger Ali, the Black L***s M****r movement is “no different from Muslim terrorists,” adding “they’re terrorizing the community.”

Ali Jr. also slammed the B*M anarchists for “f—ing up businesses, beating up innocent people in the neighborhood, smashing up police stations and shops.”

Ali Jr. isn’t the first relative of a deceased civil rights icon to express unease with the Black L***s M****r movement. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., urged protesters to respond to the death of G****e F***d with “love,” not violence.

As for the left-wing activists who see themselves as the freedom fighters of this generation, many of their objectives directly contradict what Dr. King stood for.

The “autonomous zone” protesters, who have created an enclave known as “CHOP” within the city of Seattle, have demanded the creation of racially segregated hospitals.

Dr. King, on the other hand, had a different vision for America. He dreamed about a country where people “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

The fact that the anarchists populating “CHOP” would come up with such a ridiculous demand should not come as much of a surprise. After all, these people don’t really seem to care about achieving racial e******y. Rather, they want to use that issue as an excuse to push a radical agenda.

Part of that agenda involves defunding the police, a step that New York City already has partially taken. Muhammad Ali Jr. strongly pushed back on the demonization of police: “Not all the police are bad; there’s just a few,” he said. “There’s a handful of police that are crooked; they should be locked up.”

Regarding his own experiences with police, Ali Jr. said, “I never had a bad scene with a cop. They’ve always been nice and protect me. I don’t have a problem with them.”

Sadly, in the time since Ali’s death in June 2016, the sports world has been hijacked by social justice warriors. NFL great Brett Favre actually compared Colin Kaepernick — the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who took a knee during the national anthem and wore socks depicting police officers as pigs — to Pat Tillman.

Tillman gave up his NFL career to serve in the U.S. Army after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He ended up losing his life to friendly fire three years later at the age of 27. Every entitled left-wing activist wants to portray themselves in the mold of Pat Tillman or Muhammad Ali, but they don’t come close.

The ESPN ESPY Awards, which took place June 21, turned into a public service announcement for B*M. After previously expressing disapproval of football players kneeling for the national anthem to protest police brutality, NFL quarterback Drew Brees caved to the radical left and began reciting B*M talking points.

Ultimately, Americans will never know for sure how Muhammad Ali, formerly known as Cassius Clay, actually would feel about Trump and Black L***s M****r.

But based on the radical left going far off the deep end since Ali’s death, it seems logical that “The Greatest” might want to push back on snowflake culture and the regressive politics of the left.
