Muhammad Ali

I am all for free press and enjoy satire, good satire that is.

This however does nothing for me:

I presume it is a play on Benzema, who said he wasn't selected for the Euros because Deschamps listened to 'racist' advice. (Nothing to do with blackmailing a teammate).

Charlie Hebdo is presumably saying a dead Ali had as much chance of being picked for France.

Or the reverse? As in Benzema has as much chance of being picked as a dead Ali?? I can see that alright, considering who better than Ali  to use as a symbol of anti-racism.

Either way, Ali isn't even buried yet so I think it is pretty cheap. And I suspect the misspelling of his name is deliberate as well, although I don't get why.

Bugger the meaning, whatever interpretation you apply to it. Bad taste is bad taste.
