Muhammad Ali is widely recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all-time and one of the most important figures of the 20th century. In addition to his long and celebrated career as a boxer and three-time heavyweight champion of the world, Ali changed the conversation about race, religion, and politics in America. Ali's refusal to be inducted into the U.S. military during the Vietnam War on religious grounds—a profound act of resistance that resulted not only in Ali's three-plus-year exile from professional boxing, but also a criminal conviction and five year-prison sentence that Ali almost had to serve until it was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court—represented a pivotal moment of the 1960s. Ali has been the subject of numerous books and documentary films, including the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings (1996) and The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013). He is also the subject of the 2001 Hollywood biopic, Ali (co-written and directed by Michael Mann and starring Will Smith as Ali), which focuses on the ten-year period from Ali's capture of the heavyweight crown from Sonny Liston in 1964 to Ali's fight against George Foreman in Zaire in 1974 (the famed “Rumble in the Jungle”). Once a sharply polarizing figure, Ali became one of the most celebrated and eulogized individuals in America, whose rich, if not incomparable, legacy reverberates around the world today.  Timestamps:0:00    Introduction2:22      Formative experiences5:00     From Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali10:26    Opposition to the Vietnam draft13:16     Ali's loss of his prime years15:42     The broader significance of Ali's opposition to induction 18:08    Ali's legal challenges and the U.S. Supreme Court22:48:   The Fight of the Century24:06    From a symbol of resistance to reconciliation27:50     Becoming a global icon: The Rumble in the Jungle35:30    Ali and Howard Cosell 36:57    Ali and Malcolm X41:08    Some problems of the Ali biopic44:12     Ali's post-boxing career47:53    Sports and resistance: Ali's legacy      Further reading:Hauser, Thomas, Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times (1991)Kindred, Dave, Sound and Fury: Two Powerful Lives, One Fateful Friendship (2006)Lederman, Marty, “The story of Cassius Clay v.

The music festival promoters hustle hard to secure a plane to Zaire. Finally on board, all the artists are nearly killed by James Brown and his oversized ego. Despite the high drama, the flight is a magical experience for all aboard when the musicians turn the plane into an epic jam session. This shared joy carries the crew through to Zaire. Upon arrival, they are greeted by the drums and voices of The Motherland. Meanwhile, fight promoters scramble to rearrange the weekend after Foreman’s cut and, in doing so, find out who President Mobutu really is.

Det är tio år sedan jag drog i gång podden Lundh och i sommar kör jag de tio mest lyssnade avsnitten under vinjetten Re:Lundh. På andra plats kommer intervjun med Erik Niva från maj 2016.Då var han reporter och krönikör på Aftonbladet och expert på Viasat samt Sveriges mest prisade och populäraste sportjournalist. Nu har han växlat ner lite på Aftonbladet för sin egen succépodd When We Were Kings, men annars stämmer det mesta fortfarande. I podden förklarade Erik Niva varför han fastnade för internationell fotboll, hur han försökte lära sig att hålla på Hammarby och Sundsvall, vilken syn han har på allsvenskan, fansens kraft och bengaler på läktarna. Han talade även om relationen till Tottenham, hatkärleken till den allt rikare Premier League, ambivalensen inför Champions League och att Leicesters ligatriumf gav hopp för fotbollen. Dessutom gick han in på sin kärlek till det svenska U21-landslaget, om A-landslaget efter Zlatan Ibrahimovic och hur Erik Hamrén och Lars Lagerbäck såg på Nivas sågning av Oscar Wendt. Naturligtvis var det även en del om Nivas karriärväg, om att skriva krönikör på slutsignal och om den nya boken. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hösten 2015 såg en elevassistent på Utmarksskolan i Kortedala till att ett gäng stökiga mellanstadiegrabbar fick möjligheten att välja fotboll som tillval. Knappt sju år senare vann Adam Reggiani och hans killar Gothia Cup. Ett år därefter blev de uteslutna ur samma turnering. Varje år väljer ju vi på When We Were Kings ut Årets WWWK-lag, en gräsrotsförening som vi sponsrar med en slant och vars historia vi berättar. 2023 föll valet på Götaholm BK - askungelaget från nordöstra Göteborg som hela tiden dansat på den tunna sidlinjen som är skillnaden mellan olika världar och olika liv. Deras berättelse är både mångbottnad och komplicerad, och den som delar upp världen i en strikt svartvit färgskala får hitta sin bekräftelse någon annanstans. I Götaholm finns spelare som stundtals tagit dåliga beslut, men här finns framförallt ungdomar som hittat en bättre väg framåt än den som låg utstakad för dem. De har mött motgångar och de har förlorat fotbollsmatcher - men de har också uppnått smått häpnadsväckande saker och vunnit mer än någon någonsin hade kunnat föreställa sig. Flera av dem har dessutom vunnit över sig själva, återerövrat sina egna liv. Fotboll kan sannerligen spelas på mer glamourösa arenor, men fotboll blir sällan viktigare än såhär, sällan större.

Michael Mann walks the blurry lines between homage, imitation, and theft as he attempts to tell the stories of Muhammed Ali, Malcolm X, the 1960s, and the Cold War geopolitical order in a single sprawling biopic. Join as Rob and Alex Navarro take the movie to ten rounds discussing just how much Mann borrowed from Spike Lee's Malcolm X and the documentary When We Were Kings, and to what degree he ends up directing poor stealth-remakes of both.

För ett år sedan visste vi inte vilka Västerfärnebo AIK var. Vi kände överhuvudtaget inte till dem, deras samhälle, deras verklighet eller deras vedermödor. Idag bär vi dem nära hjärtat, och kommer nog alltid fortsätta göra det. Under 2022 har vi haft dem som vårt WWWK-lag. Vi har följt med i resultaten - men vi har framförallt försökt förstå oss på vilka de är och var de kommer ifrån. Vi hamnade i Division III Södra Norrland. Vallar i skogsbryn där landsvägen tar slut. Elva mils pendling - enkel väg - till torsdagsträningen. Derbymatcher som ibland är på väg att urarta i rena byabråk. Men mer än något annat: Rötter som går djupt ner under berörda lokalsamhällen, en självklar gemenskap som nästan inte går att hitta i en tid då vi knappt gör saker tillsammans längre, den föreningsmodell och den folkrörelseanda som förblir det bästa med det svenska samhället. Det här är ett ovanligt avsnitt av When We Were Kings - men samtidigt också ett avsnitt bland alla andra. Känslorna är inte svagare på den här nivån än de är i Champions League, drömmarna är inte mindre. Fotboll är fotboll. Oavsett nivå, oavsett framgång. Förr människor är människor. Här har ni tre och en halv timme om Västerfärnebo AIK, 2022. Tro oss, de förtjänar varenda minut.

Forty years ago, a quartet of young Americans traveled to Europe and turned the World Motocross community on its head. Danny LaPorte, Chuck Sun, Donnie Hansen, and Johnny O'Mara won the Trophée des Nations (250) on September 6, 1981 in Lommel, Belgium, and then the Motocross des Nations (500) a week later in West Germany. This is a special collaboration between Racer X Illustrated and We Went Fast. “When We Were Kings” ran in the September/October 1998 issue of Racer X magazine—yes, 1998, when Racer X was in its first year as a full-color glossy and only printing six times a year. “When We Were Kings” is the story behind how the team was formed and how they pulled off the most stunning upset in motocross history. Here's a brief synopsis if you're not already familiar: In 1981, for the third year in a row, the AMA wasn't even going to send a team. Then a magazine editor named Dick Miller stepped in to take over the organizing efforts and whipped up interest. The man literally held bake sale–style events to raise money. Winning one of the events would have been massive. Winning both was shocking. Be sure leave a review and rating and share this show with a friend.

Er du en av dem som har brukt timesvis med «When We Were Kings» på øret? Er du en som setter pris på gode fortellinger, og liker fotballdebatter som går i dybden? Utover våren vil Ken Wasenius-Nilsen, Bjarte Valen og Eivind Brennhovd Holth produsere et knippe spesialepisoder om nøye utvalgte temaer. I første episode tar vi for oss reisen til Luke Shaw fra U18-laget til Southampton til Solskjærs United. I dag har 25-åringen etablert seg som Ole Gunnar Solskjærs venstreback og er aktuell for en EM-plass på landslaget, men alle United-supportere vet hvilke utfordringer Shaw har møtt på veien. Dette er spørsmålene UWP-trioen tar for seg: – Hvorfor trengte Shaw seks år på å bli den backen alle «visste» han skulle bli?– Trengte Shaw å møte motgang? Trengte han et Mourinho-slag i trynet? Hadde han blomstret på samme måte med bare medvind?– Hvilke knapper trykket Solskjær på for å finne den stabile kvalitetsbacken som bodde i Shaw?– Er vi nå helt sikre på at 25-årige Shaw er Uniteds venstreback i årene framover?

Er du en av dem som har brukt timesvis med «When We Were Kings» på øret? Er du en som setter pris på gode fortellinger, og liker fotballdebatter som går i dybden? Utover våren vil Ken Wasenius-Nilsen, Bjarte Valen og Eivind Brennhovd Holth produsere et knippe spesialepisoder om nøye utvalgte temaer. I første episode tar vi for oss reisen til Luke Shaw fra U18-laget til Southampton til Solskjærs United. I dag har 25-åringen etablert seg som Ole Gunnar Solskjærs venstreback og er aktuell for en EM-plass på landslaget, men alle United-supportere vet hvilke utfordringer Shaw har møtt på veien. Dette er spørsmålene UWP-trioen tar for seg:  – Hvorfor trengte Shaw seks år på å bli den backen alle «visste» han skulle bli?– Trengte Shaw å møte motgang? Trengte han et Mourinho-slag i trynet? Hadde han blomstret på samme måte med bare medvind?– Hvilke knapper trykket Solskjær på for å finne den stabile kvalitetsbacken som bodde i Shaw?– Er vi nå helt sikre på at 25-årige Shaw er Uniteds venstreback i årene framover?

Il titolo della quindicesima puntata della terza stagione di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da: “Quando eravamo Re", (When We Were Kings), che è un film documentario del 1996 diretto da Leon Gast.Nato come documentario sul concerto di musica Soul che doveva precedere l’incontro di pugilato tra Muhammad Alì e il campione del mondo George Foreman svoltosi a Kinshasa nello Zaire il 30 ottobre 1974 e dopo una gestazione di ben 22 anni divenne infine il ritratto di uno dei più grandi atleti della storia dello sport.Più che sul Muhammad Alì della realtà, è un film sul mito, sulla leggenda, sul significato simbolico, sociale e politico di Alì e della sua vittoria sul nero Foreman che paradossalmente nel 1974 incarnò l’odiato zio Sam, quell’America dei padroni bianchi che avevano ridotto i neri a loro immagine e somiglianza.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo particolare alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare il big match tra i bianconeri campioni d’Italia ed i nerazzurri in quel di San Siro domenica sera, ed in generale il momento particolarmente difficile della squadra bianconera negli ultimi mesi o addirittura nell’ultimo biennio.Un’analisi a 360° sulla squadra più gloriosa e titolata d’Italia e sulle vicende sportive ed extra sportive almeno dell’ultimo biennio possono portarci a dire, “Quando eravamo Re”.Proprio come il titolo della pellicola che da il nome all’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS che ripercorre molti anni dopo il mito e la leggenda del pugile più grande di sempre, anche per i bianconeri è oramai possibile parlare solo al passato secondo molti tifosi juventini e non.Al di là dei giudizi formulati più con il cuore o meglio con la pancia del tipico tifoso medio, facendo un’analisi più obbiettiva la domanda da porsi tutt’oggi è, la Juventus è o può dirsi ancora “Re” del calcio italiano?Non solo la sconcertante prestazione di domenica sera con l’Inter, ma più in generale è l’ultimo biennio (per alcuni il periodo di riferimento potrebbe essere addirittura esteso a 3 anni), a suscitare più di un dubbio sulla qualità della rosa juventina, senza dimenticare una gestione manageriale distintasi per l’esonero di mister Allegri due anni orsono con l’intento di abbracciare un nuovo credo calcistico ed il conseguente ingaggio di Maurizio Sarri.Un progetto a dir la verità abortito praticamente subito dalla dirigenza bianconera rea, secondo molti, di aver scelto un tecnico non adatto all’ambiente zebrato ed in ogni caso di non averlo messo nelle condizioni per poter effettivamente effettuare il cambio di mentalità tanto desiderato, con una campagna acquisti fatta a prescindere dalle indicazioni del tecnico toscano.L’emergenza Covid nella primavera dello scorso anno e la qualità di alcuni singoli hanno comunque consentito alla Juve targata Sarri di conquistare l’ennesimo scudetto, il nono della serie, probabilmente più per inerzia, con le varie contendenti che si sono via via autoeliminate dalla corsa al titolo, piuttosto che per effettivi meriti della compagine bianconera.L’ennesimo titolo di campione d’Italia ha probabilmente ancora una volta mascherato le evidenti lacune di una rosa vecchia e logora (per stessa ammissione del presidente Agnelli) e priva di interpreti di qualità in ruoli chiave come un terzino ed un centrocampista d’inserimento in grado di supportare le punte.Non meno impietoso può essere il giudizio sulla dirigenza bianconera se si pensa al disastroso inserimento del duo di centrocampo Ramsey-Rabiot acquistati a parametro zero e ricompensati con ingaggi da top player, per non parlare poi di cessioni di alcuni giocatori senza mai provvedere ad un’adeguata sostituzione degli stessi, si pensi a Spinazzola o al giovane Kean.Archiviata l’anomala stagione 19/20, si passa a causa dell’emergenza provocata dalla pandemia, quasi senza soluzione di continuità, alla stagione attuale dove la lunga scia di decisioni poco comprensibili ai più pare essere proseguita con la sostituzione di Sarri, rivelatosi probabilmente l’uomo sbagliato nel posto sbagliato, con un feeling mai nato con gran parte della squadra e soprattutto con la presidenza, con Andrea Pirlo.L’ex centrocampista bianconero diventa quindi il nuovo tecnico della Juventus con una mossa a sorpresa del presidente Agnelli il quale si assume la responsabilità di ciò che appare essere sin dall’inizio un azzardo.Pirlo per volere dello stesso presidente passa quindi direttamente dai banchi del centro tecnico di Coverciano alla panchina più importante d’Italia in un sol colpo.Arrivando ai giorni nostri al di la della squadra uscita tramortita da San Siro, dopo una gara in realtà mai giocata contro l’Inter, sono diverse le partite in cui la squadra soffre abbarbicata al proprio edonismo: se da un lato, il fatto di non aver mai avuto al completo la difesa possa essere un’attenuante, dall’altro l’idea di calcio che Pirlo ricerca, costruita su un gioco moderno, propositivo e rapido mal si sposa con gli interpreti (per caratteristica o scelte) che, soprattutto a centrocampo, la rosa dispone.Nove anni di vittorie ininterrotte sono lunghi, nel calcio moderno probabilmente tale lasso di tempo è un’eternità, la sensazione, che si fa sempre in modo strisciante avanti è che appunto anche per la Juve si avvicini inesorabilmente quel in momento, la fine del ciclo.Pur essendo stato lungo, anzi come detto, un’eternità, accettare ciò con lucidità non è per niente facile, anche perché “...vincere è una droga, quando non ti succede non importa più quello che è stato”, ed egoisticamente non importa più ricordare di “Quando eravamo Re”.Sarà nostro gradito ospite

DocHouse Conversations are thrilled to come back for a second mini-series. Carol Nahra, our podcast host, talks to international filmmakers about what films inspired them and what films have changed their careers. For this episode Carol is in conversation with award-winning director José Padilha. Jose is a critically-acclaimed filmmaker for both his nonfiction and fiction (Narcos, Elite Squad) work. His feature doc directing debut Bus 174 chronicles the hijacking of a public bus in Rio de Janeiro on 12th June 2000. With real-time media footage we follow the events of a young and armed man taking the eleven other passengers hostage. At the same time José explores the societal factors that contributed to the young man's homelessness and alienation. José and Carol will discuss the impact that Bus 174 had on his career - and how filmmakers such as Albert Maysles and Jonathan Demme supported him along the way. You can watch this Peabody-winning doc on Kanopy. They also discuss José's choice for inspirational documentary: Leon Gast's Academy Award- winning When We Were Kings. The film chronicles the famous 1974 heavyweight championship, baptised ‘The Rumble In The Jungle', between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. Watch When We Were Kings on BBC iPlayer. Finally, Carol and José revisit the film through which they met: Secrets of the Tribe (2010), which Carol produced and José directed. The BBC Storyville film was eight years in the making, had its world premiere at Sundance, and was bought by HBO. Through the stories of Yanomami anthropologists Napoleon Chagnon and Jacques Lizot, the film casts doubt on the entire science of anthropology. Find out more and watch the film on YouTube, Kanopy or Amazon.

We are getting ready to rumble. Anthony Joshua is fighting Joseph Parker at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on March 31 with three of the four heavyweight title belts on the line. On this edition of Sport Digital and Social, I speak to Parker’s promoter David Higgins about how he managed to engineer a lucrative unification bout for his fighter when the chances seemed remote. Also how technology helped and hindered in that process, the counterintuitive nature of boxing PR, how and when the ‘trainwreck’ a press conference, his plans to unnerve Joshua, how the fight will secure Parker’s future and how David Higgins got into the boxing business.

While he was dictator he did the standard dictator stuff. He killed those who spoke out against him and with all the money at the top many of his people starved. Mobutu was spending billions of dollars on himself and his family. He would overpay his generals or other people that might want to overthrow him and underpay his soldiers, many of whom were forced to steal from civilians just so they could have money to eat.Mobutu also was one of the men who was instrumental in bringing the Rumble in the Jungle boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman to Zaire on the 30th of October 1974. According to the documentary When We Were Kings, promoter Don King promised each fighter US$5 million for the fight. Mobutu was the only one who was willing to fund such amounts. Mobutu, wanting to expand his country's image, put up the nation's money to do so. According to a quote in the film, Ali supposedly said: "Some countries go to war to get their names out there, and wars cost a lot more than $10 million."(MORE ON THE PODCAST)
