Muhammad Ali - another legend dies - is there something in the 70s/80s water?

Guys,

Another legend of the 70's/80's has died the great Muhammed Ali. I think we losing too many greats this year. What a crazy year 2016 turning out to be.

Muhammad Ali, the most significant figure in 20th century sports history

I don't even know what to say about his passing

Yes, it's called the "circle of life." Your ass is born. Your ass will die. For Prince, it appears that if
you hop on opiate derived pain medication, you run the risk of accidentally overdosing and a possible
addiction issues. For the GOAT, if you get punched in the head for a living, you run the risk of
living with Parkinson's Disease.

Interesting how both legends passed away as a result of their chosen occupation: Prince with the
jumping off risers, splits, running around in heels (I've yet to see anyone praise him for his athletic
abilities) that resulted in significant hip pain requiring surgery that lead to problems with opiates
and Ali with all the rope-a-dopes (taking punishment in the hopes of tiring out his opponent) and
continuing to box well past his prime.

Calm down and stop being so mean. People are grieving, jesus.

Although it is upsetting, I do, strangely, get comfort knowing that Muhammad Ali is up there, taking care of Prince now. I always got a father, son vibe whenever I saw them together.
