MH - Ironic, Isn't It?

I noticed that ESPN and ESPN Classic have been offering a mini-marathon of classic Muhammad Ali fights this weekend. Judie suspects that it's a hype for the upcoming movie "Cinderella Man," and she's probably right.

Still, despite all the hard work over the years to turn Ali's image into that of a big teddy bear, am I the only one who finds it strange that ESPN is honoring this former draft-dodger on Memorial Day weekend? Whether you agreed with the war or not, the timing is, to say the least, strange.
