06.04.16 | "Ali was an asshole anyway

do u have some sort of bet where u have to say stupid things in every thread u post in |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | Inb4 the obligatory "OMG EVERYONE IS DYING THIS YEAR" comment.
And Ars couldn't have sounded any more like an asshole for calling someone an asshole.
RIP to the greatest boxer of all time. |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | idk Muhammad Ali liked calling a ton of people "Uncle Toms" including MLK, that's pretty dickish. |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | That was also 40 fucking years ago, dumb ass. |
ShadowRemains
06.04.16 | ali was a dick to all of the fighters he fought against because he was...well...fighting them
aside from that, the man was a revolutionary and a steadfast figure against discrimination, and no one can take that away from him
he is nearly up there in the MLK, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X territory as far as that is concerned |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | Ali was one of the faces of the civil rights movement. He knew he had a platform because of his popularity in the sports world, and he made sure to use it. He called Frazier an Uncle Tom, not MLK. And you want hold that against him nearly 40 years later. Times were different back then, and I understand his hostility towards Frazier primarily working for the white man because for a lot of blacks, the white man was still the evil slave owner.
So Ars, shut the fuck up |

"Ali was one of the faces of the civil rights movement. He knew he had a platform because of his popularity in the sports world, and he made sure to use it."
yep. how many sportsmen of the past 40 years can we say the same for? none |
ShadowRemains
06.04.16 | not only that, but also perhaps the greatest figure in the stand against the Vietnam War
“i ain't got no quarrel with the vietcong...no vietcong ever called me nigger.” |
Keyblade
06.04.16 | such a staggering lack of awareness to be like "well, he called someone an uncle tom once" |
ShadowRemains
06.04.16 | seriously, read these quotes and motherfucking learn something: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/46261.Muhammad_Ali |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | pretty sure Ars shouldn't talk about sports in general tbh |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | No, Ars shouldn't talk, period. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | very good point
"this man said something mean decades ago, therefore he is an asshole!!! RIP tho" |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | Fair enough, I just don't tend to care for the people who opposed MLK back in the 60s, but hey I guess if he evolved with his beliefs. |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | Malcolm X called MLK an Uncle Tom, you dolt. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | You should just stop talking and take the L, Ars. |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | You're mixing up Malcom X for when Ali called himself Cassius X. Learn your fucking history, man |
ShadowRemains
06.04.16 | again, educate yourself

Keyblade
06.04.16 | embarrassing |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | You can't expect people to respond well when you insult a legend on the day of his death
And it doesn't help when you read one article and didn't retain any of the CORRECT information from it. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | pretty sure he reached his peak when he acted like a girl and made a joke out of the transgender users on the site tbvh but this comes close |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | I must have missed that. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | the Charlotte account that fooled next to no one and talked to himself
very funny |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=166643 |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | Yeah I missed that. That's funny coming from the guy who claims to be gay and gets angry when someone uses a slur. |
Keyblade
06.04.16 | take it from the legend himself
“Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.” |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | "made a joke out of the transgender users"
Excuse me? I was going to back out until you said someone this idiotic.
I admit I was wrong about Ali, but Fripp that comment is just off base. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | [yeah i know too late to edit, everyone saw it hurr durr waiting for said user to comment on how I edited this who care] |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | "Excuse me? I was going to back out until you said someone this idiotic."
You should still back out because you're only going embarrass yourself little buddy |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | Fripp, stop digging up old shit, especially when you know me calling you boy had nothing to do with your race. And my alt had nothing to do with trans people. What's your fucking problem? |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | Why are you getting so defensive if that shit isn't true? Ars, seriously man, just go away. You've embarrassed yourself enough. |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | Because I don't like being accused of false things and I'm not someone who would ever say something transphobic. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | Why are you so heated
boy |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | No fuck that fuck Fripp honestly. |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | You just said he dug up old shit, so you acknowledged that you must have said something. |
Nocturnalize
06.04.16 | coming from one of the biggest assholes around on this site i can't believe some of you are talking shit wtf?
|
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | " I'm not someone who would ever say something transphobic."
I'm not accusing you of being transphobic, so feel free to not make things up. I find the idea of acting like a girl is fucking embarrassing and disrespectful to trans users. |
Nocturnalize
06.04.16 | r.i.p ali u were a beast |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | But I'm going to go ahead and divert the conversation back to Ali and the legend that he was. You want to debate your hypocrisy, do it on his shoutbox and show the tiny bit of respect to this that you sorely lack. |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
not gonna respond to him tbh |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.16 | Yeah he got angry at me a few months ago for like an entire day because he thought I said something racist, so after finally convincing the ass that I literally wasn't thinking about his race when I said that and that I was referring to how immature he was being, I decided to apologize anyway since what I said could be interpreted that way and he was okay with dropping it, but now he's bringing it back up like a little shit and then goes on to say I "made a joke out of the transgender users on the site" which does hit a nerve for me, so honestly fuck him. |
Intothepit
06.04.16 | It's sad. You watch videos of his fights and see how quick he was. He was so light on his feet and so precise. It was incredible. |

Frippertronics
06.04.16 | Dude could take some mean hits too, it's honestly incredible how much he could withstand in a fight. |
iloveyouall
06.04.16 | R.I.P. to a legend.
this one cuts deep tbh.
|
Intothepit
06.04.16 | You watch that first Frazier fight and he takes some serious body shots and you would think he just brushed it off and kept going. Insane. |
Sinternet
06.04.16 | well seems like every semi-serious list atm is getting screwed over by pointless arseholeness and drama whoop de doo nothing ever changes |
Trundle
06.04.16 | Ali had the gift to gab, and dodge 20 punches in like 15 seconds, he was amazing
that being said
Emelianenko Fedor > Ali |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | Look at this shit, the dude not only had power, but speed and some fine reflexes too

Keyblade
06.04.16 | ^ honestly prob my fav sports moment. i could watch that video forever |
Frippertronics
06.04.16 | Not only that, but he really knew how to hype himself up and could back it up as well. Boxing was more exciting when Ali was in the ring, this isn't even up for debate.

06.04.16 | Emelianenko Fedor > Ali
so trve bvt this wasn't the right time |

06.04.16 | reminds me of the effect tiger woods had on golf in his prime |

06.04.16 | Ali was a true sporting hero.
An American Legend and an icon.
Nobody comes close.RIP

06.04.16 | Aw shit hard RIP |
p4p
06.04.16 | gj fripp and ars for ruining the thread. anyway, Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. Rest in Peace brother. |
Deez
06.04.16 | A True legend. Wasnt the greatest boxer ever though. That was Ray Robinson. Even Ali would tell you that before he died. But what he did inside the ring and outside transcended sport. To stand up to the Nam draft as a black man back then took balls of steel.
@OV yeah this is something that gets brushed under the carpet a lot. Especially his early days, One chat show he said 'If you have a strong black coffee what do you do to weaken it? Put white in it'
All though If i was a black man growing up in the 50s/60s id be racist as fuck too. |
Keyblade
06.04.16 | those views are from when he was part of the nation of islam who were militantly separatist. he later converted to sunni islam in 1975 and his views on a lot of things including interracial marriage definitely changed. i mean his grandchildren are basically white so |

06.04.16 | from the man himself:

06.04.16 | what a thread oh boy |
TheCrocodile
06.04.16 | yeah RIP |
PlasticRadioBand
06.04.16 | Guys shut up and give Ali th respect he deserves damn this is nearly as dumb as the religion argument in the thread about Phil Elvrum's wife getting cancer |
