    I remember when he first announced he had HIV.

    He took full responsibility and said he had brought it on himself.

    I never heard Magic Johnson do that. Magic sounded more like a victim.

    Everyone was like "Poor Magic." Nobody talked about the elephant in the room - that he f_ed everything that moved - while married. And slept with his wife the whole time. Luckily, she didn't get it.

    So, to vilify Morrison is a double standard.

    Now, later, Morrison got whacked out in the head and became a denier.

    But initially, he sent out a very positive message and may have prevented some kids from getting it later with his message.

    I see nothing wrong with building him a memorial.

    You're out of touch. Morrison got it in 1989 from dirty steroid needles and brushed it under the carpet for as long as he could, but still fought a couple of times after it was public knowledge that he had it. He also put many people outside of boxing at risk during that period. There's a separate thread about it if you search for it.

    He'd still be alive if he took the aids meds, so on that score he was a phucking idiot to himself.
