70: Four Freedoms

Bill Russell, Draft Evasion and Final Thoughts

Bill Russell was the only athlete at the summit who accurately reported that the original purpose was to convince Ali to take the government's deal. Ali chose to face a five-year prison sentence and the loss of his career rather than compromise his beliefs. Mo Facts concludes the show by drawing a line in the sand for his own choice, expressing faith in his talents and God over government mandates.
