There is one similarity though. Ali was thoroughly shit on by many Americans back then for his beliefs. It's softened over the years, but at one time he was FOI, and one of Elijah Mohammad's boys. White America wanted Joe Frazier to beat his ass when he did return to the ring. Ali even rubbed elbows with at least one dictator (Mobutu of Zaire). The shirt Kaepernick was wearing was of Malcolm X meeting Castro. Malcolm X was also Ali's boy. Time has softened our view of him, but your point stands.

Action over words.
