 Mohammed Ali And  Modern Slaves?

Alen J Salerian MD

February 21, 2015

I love Mohammed Ali. He is my hero.

Ali’s magical moves, words, poetry, wisdom, intellectual courage have been as magnificent as his devastating punches.

Nowadays it is difficult for me to watch Ali talk. The punishment he received in the ring seem printed  on his  frozen face and robotic walk.

Do we need a brain expert to connect the dots between the punches Ali received  and  his health today ?

I wonder what Ali thinks about boxing today.

Does he observe what I notice. That boxing is barbaric .

Why do we  call  it a sport? Why do modern societies promote actions aimed at destroying brains?

 Do boxers really have a choice not to box? How come my sons don't box?I don't know what  my hero  Mohammed Ali  thinks. I think boxers are modern slaves. Boxing should be banned. No kid , teenager young or old man should be punched in the head for fun or profit or to solve problems.
