Leave Our Memories Alone
-
I watched the opening ceremonies at Marlins Park and, like Deadspin's Erik Malinowski, I was appalled by how they sent Muhammad Ali out on a cart in a transparent attempt to keep fans from booing owner Jeffrey Loria (on the cart with Ali). Ali is in very, very bad shape, and we didn't need to remember him like this. And the anticipated ovation -- they blocked out a full five minutes on the schedule for it -- lasted 30 seconds, after which there was silence, then a half-hearted "ALI! ALI!" chant pushed by the P.A. announcer. It was painful to watch. (Deadspin)
