I even forgot why

When I heard that M. Ali got the medal, I had an immediate negative reaction.

I lived thought the 60's & 70's and forgot the details of Muhammad Ali's antics.

I don't understand the logic behind the Presidents need to extend his hand in friendship to the Left, only to get slapped with it by them - time & time again.

Thanks for reminding me.
