What is Roy Keane fighting for these days?

If you remember, it was Muhammad Ali started it, not Mick McCarthy or Ian Evans or even Tom Humphries’ interview.

On the plane out to Saipan, Roy Keane watched Ali, the movie starring Will Smith. He was struck by the scene when Ali’s family surrounded him, imploring him to take the draft, that he wouldn’t have to fight.

“Ali resists them all. I’m doing what I think is right. It matters. You don’t compromise on your principles. Watching this is very moving. Something in this scene strikes a chord with me. Don’t put up with shit. I’m not fighting a white man’s fight. It’s an inspiring notion, a demonstration of conviction that I understand very clearly, and relate to in my own life. Don’t compromise on the things you believe in.”
