Azazello1313 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) just saw this article on espn: DUBLIN -- Boxing legend Muhammad Ali made a sentimental journey Tuesday to discover his Irish roots, and met distant relatives during celebrations at the local town hall and a nearby castle. Thousands lined the streets of Ennis, western Ireland, to cheer the motorcade carrying Ali as the three-time world heavyweight champion visited the home of his great-grandfather Abe Grady. I had no idea he shoulda really milked that -- with some green trunks and some sort of irish nickname -- like every other irish fighter seems to do.

BeeR Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It was McClay but his family shortened it. They were getting discriminated against due to being Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 So he is a Black Irish Muslim, Dang if he didn't have Parkinsons, he could be our next president. Why should that stop him?

BeeR Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Why should that stop him? Good point. If Obama can get elected despite a near total lack of qualifications, why not Ali? He good! *clap clap* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
