    "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      I cant say i am surprised, 2016 has been a bad year all round for sports stars and celebrities alike.

      last week a rider died at the Isle of Man TT race and yesterday another rider in moto2 died in practice.
      I was still hoping Ali would pull through, but the chances are 2016 would be another bad omen.

      RIP Muhammad Ali. Died 74.
      RIP Luis Salom. Died 24.
      RIP Dean Martin. Died 58.

        It's nice to mention all the other names, but the fact is that none of those people combined had a fraction of the influence of Muhammad Ali, because Ali was much more than just a sportsman. His lifestyle and personal views, though controversial, inspired millions and confronted head-on issues of race, religion, self-identity, and so on.

        Calling him simply an athlete is insulting to his legacy.

        what a great way to disrespect the memories of everyone else by placing Muhammad Ali above everyone else. what a disgrace you are.

        Do try to be a less loathsome individual when talking about the particular dead person that is the post's topic and whose accomplishments are worth celebrating.

        By that "logic" nobody should ever be named Abraham, since Abraham's eldest son (Mohamad's ancestor) was born to Abraham's slave woman. Nor should anyone be named after the founders of the US, or any Romans, and all this Spartan Race stuff needs to be shut down immediately since the Spartans practiced killing any children born with deformities.
