Ali was a "very big deal" in the sixties and seventies.<br /> His stance on not going to Vietnam is now admired by many as being down right truthful, and Muhammad Ali was not thought of as a civil rights leader, but gained respect as the years passed and Vietnam was looked at in a different light. His comments and actions during the "sixties" proved prophetic.<br /> I take that back, this is related to football... quite a few specialists on Parkinson's disease, believe it was the direct result of the severe beating that Ali received in 1980 by Holmes... Ali took a severe head beating that few could take for a few minutes (at most)... a most ill advised fight (Ali was low on funds)<br /> How this relates to football is a new company has invented a football helmet that actually crushes to absorb most of the impact... it sells for 500 to 600 dollars, but increase in volume would lower the cost... I have yet to see it mentioned on Michigan websites, but than again I cannot possibly read them all (unless I am obsessed as much as the hard workers at "MGOBLOG".<br /> Instead of arguments about paying the players, please make NCAA require these helmets...to stop diseases like the one Muhammad Ali developed... yes people do develop Parkinson's without football, and boxing but most experts agree that Ali's is a direct result from severe head trauma. Whether you liked him or not Muhammad Ali was an historical figure in 60's and 70's... yes, I liked him.ScottyDoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850019343936737416noreply@blogger.com
