[The Urban Sombrero]

Cassius Clay, a way cooler sounding name than Muhammad Ali IMHO, was treated rather rudely by everybody when he thumbed his nose at the draft board. He was pilloried and scorned by the media, both political parties and the sports world of that day. He was no hero. And yet, as he matured and mellowed America did manage to revere him as a man who got it right later in life, and was therefore embraced by his country in spite of his past.

What political party called him a loud mouthed coward?

He never recanted nor regretted his decision to conscientiously object. He was and is heroic.

Are you following along? Or just wandering in on occasion?
