Muhammad Ali gets Medal of Freedom
Today, boxing great Muhammad Ali received the Medal of Freedom, the highest honor bestowed on a civilian. Uh, can anybody tell me why?I guess I just don't get it, but shouldn't such an honor go to people who've done greater things than having been paid an unbelievable sum of money to beat the snot out of other people all the while declaring, "I am the greatest"?
...the things we value.

I love Ali, I remember being a little boy and crying like a baby when he lost to Leon Spinks.
But I love him as a sports figure and a sports figure only.
He is a man of questionable character with questionable loyaltiy to his country.
He is not desreving of such an award.
No sports figure is in my mind, least of all him.
Good grief,
I hope Tyson doesn't get the same honor 20 years from now!
