A lot of you probably know that one of the greatest boxer in history, who changed many minds sadly passed away at the age of 74. I had this random thought just poped in my head right now, as I'm typing this. It would be awesome of Bungie ever make a Ali shuffle emote as a memory of Muhammad Ali. What do you guys think?
Edit 1: I have read a handful of comments saying they don't support this idea because Bungie (or I would say Activison) would take advantage business-wise out of Muhammad Ali's death. I totally get that. Yaphet kotto suggested that it would be great IF Bungie ever did this, all money that has been used to buy this unoffical emote, will go to a Parkinson's foundation. If everyone agrees on this term, let's bring this post as many likes as possible so those who wants these emotes can get it, but the money generatet from it will go to a Parkinson's Foundation. This is basically a win-win-win situation. Muhammad Ali will live in Destiny, the money that has been generated will go towards a Parkinson's Foundation and nobody (hopefully) gets pissed off or any negative feelings towards this idea.
Edit 2: "Float like a butterfly, Sting like a Khepri" (Exotic gauntlet: Khepri Sting)
Edit 3: It's awesome to see over 50 up votes on this post! I hope Bungie sees this and consider to make this happen. As a memory of Muhammad Ali, AND the money generated from it will go towards the Parkinson's Foundation!
Edit 4: 75 up votes! Awesome! Now I really, really hope Bungie is going to make this happen! Activated Ali Shuffle Emote: "Lando_75 prepares to knockout, Winter!"
Edit 5: 176 UPVOTES! Thank you!! <3
Edit 6: 203 upvotes. Cozmo, you know what to do...
Edit 7: Deej-senpai, if this post reach's 300 up votes, let us know if this post is considered "seen". I don't know what happened to Cozmo. I get the feeling he saw this, but didn't want to comment on it for whatever reason...
Edit 8 and final: 309 upvotes. Love each and every one of you. Really, really love you guys.
Edit 9 and final final: 441 upvotes?! ... I can't even... I don't what to say, thank you so much.

Great idea if it was for a good cause
-
If the money went to learning about Parkinson's I would be all for it and prolly buy my closer friends and clanmates one also.
-
This post is surprisingly pretty salty
-
99% of us would dodge the draft. The other 1% would go die for no reason.
-
Here's an idea.. Why don't we all just take the money you are planning to spend on an emote, and give it directly to the charity? Mind blown.
-
No. Muted.

Stop editing

Genius

It could be called "Draft Dodger"
-
Using the draft dodger insult to thinly cover a racist agenda no doubt, you say draft dodger, us from the UK say a man with morals and the courage of his conviction

Edited by DeltaZulu77: 6/5/2016 1:03:20 PMNever mind the topic of the original post, to everyone discrediting Ali and making an argument that he deserves no praise because he refused to fight in Vietnam, there's a few things you should consider. 1. Standing up to a governing body and telling them you will not to subjected to their unjust laws is an ideal we embrace as a country that led to our independence. 2. The war in Vietnam was such a debacle that it is only rationale any young man would say, no I'm not going to fight and die for this fraud. 3. Plenty of other young men avoided the draft just by staying in school. 4. Plenty of others all out avoided the draft by going to Canada or faking a medical problem. Ali took his punishment and missed the bulk of his career because of it. 5. Your remarks regarding his history of the draft is obviously misguided and most likely stems from you being a racist.

Should make one called the "draft dodge".........

Edited by THE SARGE 01: 6/5/2016 12:58:18 AMNo. The guy Doged the Draft just because he could, claiming to be a conscientious objector. Because of his cowardice, someone else had to go in his place and probably got killed in the jungles of Vietnam.

Edited by gazzy1978: 6/6/2016 8:09:27 PMMoney to good causes is the only reason I'd consider a microstransaction. So you get my vote. Good idea.
-
I'm all for them donating any money they made off this but only if they donate it by throwing quarters at parkinson's patients and they only keep what they catch.
-
No. If you want to support the cause find another way. Ali was a great boxer, and that is all.
-
I vowed never to spend a penny on Sterling treasure for an emote or a chance at a piece of armor/weapon etc and to date I have not. However, I would gladly pay to support this cause and honor "The Greatest"!
-
Ali was one of few hero's. I would totally buy that emote. Bring it. For all the Parkinsons joke skids, funny as -blam!- you low class shits.
-
Oh gosh, I'm going to hell for this. There already is an Ali emote.
-
Yup, just use gotta spend more money to get a nongame-changing emote that doesn't do anything useful.
-
If Bungie try to cash in on an iconic mans death, the people around here who aren't teenage morons will leave this game behind so fast that Activision won't know what hit them.
-
This is a nice idea - remembering a legend and helping make a difference for the disease which he battled against so bravely
-
Rip ali. Most overrated boxer in the history of overrated boxers.
