Originally posted by AKA2D '91 Earlier, someone mentioned about Laila Ali not thanking her father. This evening I saw Bryant Gumbel's show on HBO. There was a piece on Ali. Ali isn't too enthused that his daughter is boxing. He doesn't really like it at all. He said that women were not made for boxing, they were not meant to be hit in their face and their breasts. (paraphrasing)
Maybe this is why she didn't thank him, per se. I guess she could have mentioned him as "Dad"...
Another reason is because she has issues with her father from growing up. She states in her book that he was never around when seh was growing up, her father was out doing his thing, and with other women, and that is one of the reasons that ended up hanging with the wrong crowd, and going to juvi hall.
