Compare this man (and his time) with the 21st-century BrandLetes who stuff their mouths full of cash while keeping them shut tight as the
US devolved into the corporate totalitarian war state it so proudly is
today. Beyond his heroic stance -- throwing away his heavyweight title
and risking years in prison -- to not participate in the US genocide in
Southeast Asia, Ali died without ever allowing his beautiful image to be
used in a piece of market pimpery.
Man and King: 1942 - 2016.
