George Foreman on anthem, White House protests: 'Sore losers'

George Foreman, the two-time world heavyweight champion who shared a ring with Muhammad Ali, has weighed in on the national anthem controversy – and he’s on the opposite side of Ali-esque political protests.

Speaking to the “Offended America” podcast, Foreman—who admitted he doesn’t “pay much attention to what kids do”—indicated that he believed the anthem protests were merely a cry for attention: “’I got all this money, but nobody knows me,’” he said, speaking as if he were a protesting athlete, “‘so let me say something like Muhammad Ali and maybe I’ll be different.’ That’s all that is.”

Foreman, seven years younger than Ali, lost to Ali in one of the greatest fights in boxing history, the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle. Foreman then shocked the world two decades later by winning the heavyweight championship once again at age 45.

1. Poor George Foreman. Nobody knows who this boxing-legend is.

2. Foreman is not dumb. He was never to the left politically, even waved little American flags...

in the ring when he won the Olympic medal — during a very tense political climate back then.

He turned a lot of people off with that gesture, me included, but I've come to realize it was a calculated move to garner support and backing. Remember, at the time, Ali's protests were still part of the zeitgeist, as was the opposition to Ali's stance and that was who Foreman was appealing to.

I don't agree with his opinion as to what Kaepernick's protest is about (cops killing unarmed black men, not attention seeking at all by Kaepernick). Foreman was never sharp on political issues but he's far from dumb.

He remade himself years after his defeat by Ali and became champ again and parlayed that into a business fortune and a broadcasting career.

3. He's the typical ignorant trump voter

Admits he doesn't know anything about the protests but gives his self righteous opinion. Having business savvy doesn't make one smart

4. I'm not a fan of his politics.

5. I hope no one at DU is!

6. Perhaps not stupid, but definitely egocentric.

His sons are named George Foreman Jr, George Foreman III, George Foreman IV, George Foreman V, and George Foreman VI.
