Ali was one of the most hated figures of his time.
Why is America obsessed with athletes being “humble “

This is the part right hereI already said this shyt, if a phenomenon happened where suddenly even a quarter of black folk become 7 figure wealthy then you'd literally see cacs offing themselves and even more psycho cacs on a rampage.
These sun allergic crakkas gotta pound their chest 24/7 that they're superior but deep down they know they aint. They hate us but what helps them sleep at night is knowing a large portion of folk are struggling or rummaging in poverty from what their ancestors committed.
They love to tell you that they built this world to feel good bout themselves when in reality, on top of countless inventions and things they've stolen, are the root cause of majority of the calamities occuring today such as wars, ozone layer deteriorating, climate change/global warming, resources being depleted, wildlife endangerment, oceans poisoned and overall suffering in a large portion of the world outside the west and parts of Arabic countries.
Cacs seeing an athlete that actually talks that shyt makes them enraged and salty as it tears down the programming they've received their whole lives about being better. It's like a huge slap in the face to them.
In their feeble, fragile neanderthalic minds they're thinking how is this "3/5 of a human" able to live so lavishly and never have to worry about struggling while they cacs gotta work a 9 to 5 and commute to work daily.
You see it with LeBron, dude ain't no where cocky as a Mayweather, Ali or even Jordan but any little inkling of confidence, influence or power that he displays irks these crakkas like crazy.
Obama ain't an athlete but he was one of the most powerful men in the world for 8 years that had a gift of the gab, charismatic and likable but despite his positive character they despised him and til this day he STILL lives rent free in their heads.
. Ironically the "idea" used to be that blacks can't keep up with whites in sports because they're "iq was too low". Once black people actually got the chance they were proven wrong and got embarrassed. See Pele or Jack Johnson. Then they switched it to sports are "savage like" anyway when they realized they couldn't compete.The day there starts being more black men/ women in politics and owning big businesses you'll start to see them lose their shyt even more. SOME of them have accepted that they are physically inferior to black people but they still hold onto the ducktale that they are mentally superior, once we prove that wrong again... just watch how they react
. Especially if it's a young(er) person and someone who's cocky.

sure some did, I didn’t say every single one did but the overwhelming majority hated Ali and I’ll take his word for it

Duncan is accepted as the GOAT PF by mainstream media even tho he is nowhere close. Some even have him above Kobe and Shaq all time
Before you have this conversation maybe educate yourself about Tim Duncan’s greatness.

the majority did not love him in his prime that is revisionist history
Let's take the white equation out of it, he was loved by a lot of people even though he wasn't humble. That's the premise of the thread.
Nothing wrong with being arrogant and bragging, its when you start looking down on common folks that's the problem.
Jordan was also a c00n so his arrogance & over inflated ego was overlooked/ignored by most cacs.
He was humble in his pre-post game interviews. The trash talk on the court and the arrogance off the court is pretty much off the record. Plus he's the GOAT, but he's never publicly stated that.

I like when they compare their regular ass jobs to a professional athlete that generates millions and billions of dollars. Then never even think about the owners who can pay said athlete hundreds of millions

Joe Frazier's popularity was directly tied to him being a foil to Muhammad Ali. Ali was despised by a large number of people.

And that's why you see so much pocket-watching among sports fans toward these athletes. The funny part is: athletes are more deserving of the money they make than a lot of these company executives these common folks work for. The athlete directly draws in billions in revenue while many of these execs get paid millions to do little-to-nothing every day. It's racism, crabs-in-a-barrel, insecurity and ignorance all rolled into one.

Nah… he became loved after he got sick and then his brand was bought out. There was a helluva marketing campaign to rebrand his image.
