ALI. One name says it all. One name changed the athletic landscape. One name sat at the center of controversy in his day, for all the right reasons. The champion of champions, and the king of kings. Who was Ali? And what did the man who started out as the “Louisville Lip” fight for to become the “The Greatest” that ever was? Muhammad Ali fought for his generation. He fought for his convictions, and religious beliefs, and he spoke relentlessly through his actions. He used the ring to not only become a champion of boxing, but to champion greater causes for black people, for basic rights, and for equality. “You lose nothing when fighting for a cause.” Greatness should be fearless. As part of the @rootsoffight “culture and influence” spotlight, we have a new long-sleeve Ali tee, because one word says it all! 📸: Ken Regan ROF x Ali | Only at rootsoffight.com
