Question: I was listening to a sports show on a San Francisco station this week, when the subject of sports courage came up. The host asked listeners to give their views re: which would take more courage to face — Muhammad Ali’s return to the ring after refusing to be drafted by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War or Tiger Woods’ eventual return to the golf course. What do you think?
