Inspirational Clip of the Week - I am the Reign

Imagine being crowned the Heavy Weight Champion of the world at 22, and going undefeated until the US government stripped you of your title. Imagine being stripped of your hard earned 3rd place finish in you category in your mtn bike series, because of your religious beliefs. Because you didn't want to go to Vietnam and murder other poor people when you didn't have equality in your own country. Imagine your passport being taken, and not being able to earn a living in your professional for 4 years with a family to feed. Imagine the heart and will power it takes to have a simple principle, and unlike most people, have the courage to swear that you will die before you violate that principle.

Now imagine winning your case that went all the way US Sumpreme Court, where they found it unconstitutional to imprison a person based on their religious beliefs. Then imagine winning your heavyweight title back in Africa in front of the world, and becoming the most recognizable person in the world. That speaks volumes to the kind of integrity it takes to go through that kind of hell, and to become a better person once you came out on the other side. Imagine making it rain way before any rapper made the phrase popular. He didn't make it rain, he made it REIGN.

If you can imagine that, then you are Muhammad Ali
