Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor were a long time ago in a different version of the US,
and there were people who reacted extremely negatively and refused to call them
Muhammad and Kareem.
BTW I'm averse to all religions, its just that the monotheistic Abrahamic
Trio (Judaism/Xtianity/Islam) and all of their divisions and groupings are
the most irritating with their unceasing mindless insistence that they possess
the Truth and also historically they are the most destructive in terms of wars,
massacresof non-believers and massacres of members of their own religions for
reasonsof differing scriptural interpretation and dogma. Yeah good ol Yahweh/Jehovah/
God/Allah has done a great job of population control, just think how many more
millions we'd have on the planet.
BTW as we are all aware of the religious laws and police in Iran and Saudi Arabia,
your sporting event scenario is a near impossible event and thus a poor attempt
at a strawman argument.
