If I was black I would've dodged the draft aswell. Why fight for a country that treats you like an animal? Ali was a great activist as much as he was a boxer.
Any sane individual would have tried dodging the draft. Thousands of innocent drafted soldiers forces to weild a gun to kill innocent people for what?
I only Wish Ali was even more influential. Maybe Vietnam wouldnt be in its current state of absoulte poorness...such an unccesary war.

I have to disagree with Thread. Ali was a great man. He was different and controversial, but still great. My favorite quote of his is "Don't count the days. Make the days count."
They never lost to the gooks
True. They raped & beat women.
And remain undefeated to the Vietcong, unlike you.
Back off, or, I'll give you a war you won't believe.
You really wanna get two-pieced by even more gooks?
Even aside from the fact it was totally reasonable to not have to give your life for a country with laws that discriminated,Thread ignoring his white conservative heroes who dodged the draft too.
Rush Limbaugh using a boil on his ass to avoid the Vietcong
Cheney getting 5 deferments
Ted Nugent smearing his own on himself to get out of active duty
Hey everybody, jeebus wants you to know that this item in today's news cycle doesn't interest him. In case you were wondering.
What about Rush, and Ted? Do you spit on them too
At least Ali was man enough to stand tall and take his right to not go to the supreme court. He could have easily found some technicality/cop out the way rich conservative whites did but he a level of dignity they didn't have.
GOAT Dodger, tbh
I spit on Clay.
Yeah, pretty much.
Oh, you were being clever. Carry on.
