Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War in 1967, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to the war. He famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong," highlighting his stance against fighting in a conflict he did not support. As a result of his refusal, he was stripped of his boxing titles and faced legal repercussions, including a conviction for draft evasion, which was later overturned by the Supreme Court in 1971.

Muhammad ali and the Vietnam war?

Muhammad Ali was the first person to openly speak to the public about his outrage of the war. His protests started in 1966 when he famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me n_____." He lost everything (his boxing title and boxing competitions in the future!) as he refused the draft which was illegal during the Vietnam War. After him, the public started to speak their outrage to the war after watching Muhammad Ali declare his opinion. However, many of the public's opinion was based nearly entirely on the media. The media was often biased towards the journalist's opinion on the war.
