ABC INSULT TO GREAT MAN

After scrubbing the execrable Chaser's send up of dying children ,the ABC should now pull the Free TV advertisement which includes a clip of Mohammad Ali with Moonface Bert Newton saying he likes "the boy". For all those TV executives who participated in the production of the Free TV advertisement , "boy" is an offensive word in the Afro-American community when used by unthinking whiteys. Ali was the greatest in more ways than one during his boxing career . As Cassius Clay Jnr , called the Louisville Lip, before changing his name, he rose to great heights and was named Sportsman of the Century in l991 by Sports Illustrated magazine and Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC. He refused to serve in the Vietnam war, was arrested and found guilty of draft evasion charges, banned from boxing. He deserves respect .
