Yep. exactly what I was taught. People eventually felt sorry for dude. I mean, even go back to when Jackie Frazier was about to fight Layla Ali. All of the garbage Ali said about her father was brought back to the attention of people. Like I said man, if we are going use "ARROGANCE" as THE reason why we dislike certain folks, why do some people get a pass and others don't?I believe it was Jim Brown who said, "Ali was hated until he lost his ability to speak"
Which is why I said to Lucky, "arrogance" is the verbal excuse, it must be something else. Maybe we don't want to see a white woman be cocky and arrogant? Maybe white america didn't want to see a little black dude with cornrows and 4x t-shirts be arrogant. Arrogance just hides whatever the real reason is.
ALL of those top athletes are arrogant,
Great read

The public’s attitude change regarding Muhammad Ali took place over a period of years starting in 1967. In order to look at the public’s attitude change towards him we must start by looking at how the negative public attitude directed at Ali began.
