‘I Just Wanted to Be Free’: The Radical Reverberations of Muhammad Ali by Matt Taibbi

 What Muhammad Ali did—in a culture that worships sports and violence as well as a culture that idolizes black athletes while criminalizing black skin—was redefine what it meant to be tough and collectivize the very idea of courage. Through the Champ’s words on the streets and deeds in the ring, bravery was not only standing up to Sonny Liston. It was speaking truth to power, no matter the cost. He was a boxer whose very presence taught a simple and dangerous lesson fifty years ago: “real men” fight for peace and “real women” raise their voices and join the fray. Or as Bryant Gumbel said years ago, “Muhammad Ali refused to be afraid. And being that way, he gave other people courage.”

The World of sports will never see another Ali. R.I.P.

Been busy all day, just sitting down to the computer to catch up and this is the first thing I see. Had to get some scotch and cry for a bit...this one hurts. I grew up watching this man fight, my dad and I glued to the crappy black and white set amazed at what he was doing in the ring. A lot of feels with this one.

Rest in peace Muhammad, you will be missed.

More scotch...

I think I'm too young to really know the value of what he accomplished and represented as a person, but regardless I can still respect and understand its importance.

[Aksannyi]

Wow. This year has knocked out a lot of the greats.

[Emphasis]

Maybe adding "the year in which legends died" needs to be added to the title.

[gairaiden]

I literally just said fuck you 2016 out loud this time. Such a bs year.

[Omniyoji]

Yeah definitely a low blow.

R.I.P The GREATEST

[FNH]

Woke up and turned on espn to see this horrible news. I wasn't alive during his prime, but watching his old fights when I was young really cemented a love for the sweet science. Unfortunately, Parkinson's took him many years ago, but he'll always be the GOAT. He changed boxing and all other sports.

[Lokus]

The feels.

I'm just looking at it as the celebrity holocaust. :/

Jump to 9:55 for the best part.
