PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Muhammad Ali is Positive . By 1996   Muhammad Ali  didn't really need to supply us with more reasons to cheer for  him .  Ali   suffering from Parkinson's disease  had long proven  himself  to be one of the most iconic athletes in the world  and even if  Ali  didn't end up lighting the torch on July 19th  1996  we'd still have plenty of moments to treasure both in and out of the ring.
But as it happens  it was  Ali  who took the torch from Janet Evans  hands shaking  but proud as ever. The man who fought in some of the greatest fights in boxing history  was the subject of some of the most iconic images of the 20th century  and who changed this country in ways we're still feeling to this very day  had one more moment of greatness for the world to witness.

But as former NBC executive Dick Ebersol told Sports Business Journal last year  the head of the Atlanta committee for the games  Dick Payne  put up a fight  saying  "Where we're from  he's perceived as a draft dodger." Hometown hero Evander Holyfield was the local pick to do the honor  but Ebersol countered that  Ali  didn't dodge the draft: " He  lost three big-money-earning years. But he didn't run away from the country. He didnât go to Canada. He was willing to stand on his principles."
It took four months to convince Payne and the committee that  Ali  was the right person for the job  four months for them to agree that a person who Ebersol figured  "outside of perhaps the pope" was "the most beloved figure in the world."
Of course  eventually the committee agreed  and what happened when the champ and 1960 gold medal winner was handed the torch was truly a moment that is so perfect that it defies any sports cliche you could toss at it. A reminder  once again  why  Ali  was  and always will be the Greatest of All Time.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jas Boothe is Positive . And there's one more story from the White House we want to focus on now. Earlier in the week  we learned that the president has asked the Pentagon to look into staging a military parade. It seems intended as a celebration of the military and a demonstration of military might. So we thought  who better to ask about this than the people who served in uniform and whose service is being honored? And where better to talk about this than in the Barbershop  because that's where we talk to interesting folks about what's in the news and what's on their mind? So joining us today is  Jas Boothe .  She  served for 16 years in the Army and the Army Reserves.  She  served in Kosovo  among other assignments. As  she  prepared to deploy for Operation Iraqi Freedom  though   she  was diagnosed with cancer.  She  was eventually discharged. And  she  now runs Final Salute Inc. That's an organization that helps homeless women veterans  as  she  once was.  She 's also the mother of a son serving in the Air Force and is the wife of a former Marine. Major  thank you so much for speaking with us.
PLENZLER: Yeah  I have concerns mostly around the intent and the impact of the event  plus the cost. I agree with  Jas  on that. And  you know  our national military culture  we have parades where we roll out the active duty when it's a victory parade. And the war in Afghanistan is still going on. And the war in Iraq and Syria is still going on. So  I mean  we're nowhere near the end of those two conflicts. And it may go on for some years now.
MARTIN: And what about that   Jas ? I mean  one of the things that was striking to me is that a number of the people talking about this  particularly some of the millennial era - millenniums  millennials  rather - who have been - who are very active on social media  and one of their arguments was that this kind of conjures up the image of authoritarian  you know  governments like  you know  North Korea. You know  obviously  North Korea  that these huge displays of might are kind of a signature - Venezuela  Russia. I'm going to ask you the same thing - what Sherman's point is. What if - what about something that says  I respect and appreciate you?
MARTIN: OK. Well  as we get closer  we'll call you back and see how you all feel then. That's Sherman Gillums Jr.  Marine veteran  chief strategy officer for American Veterans  AMVETS. Joe Plenzler  another Marine veteran  director of media for The American Legion. Jas Boothe  former veteran  founder of Final Salute. We want to emphasize they're all speaking for themselves. But thank you all so much for coming. And  if I may - and I understand it's controversial - thank you for your service.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Greg Postel is Positive . LOUISVILLE  Ky. (AP) â Louisville officials are not happy with the NCAA's decision that mandates the school vacate its 2013 men's basketball championship in the wake of an embarrassing sex scandal  and  interim President Greg Postel  did not hide  his  disappointment.
It's the first time a Division 1 men's basketball program has been stripped of a national title. While acknowledging the scandal was unacceptable   Postel  believes the school's cooperation with the NCAA should have counted for more than  it  did.
"I cannot say this strongly enough: We believe the NCAA is simply wrong  " Postel  said Tuesday. "We disagree with the NCAA ruling for reasons we clearly stated in our appeal. And we made a strong case â based on NCAA precedent - that supported our argument."
 Postel  doesn't feel the punishment fits the violations.
"From Day One  the university has admitted that the actions of the former operations director and any others involved under previous leadership were offensive and inexcusable "  Postel  said in  his  statement. "That is why we apologized immediately  cooperated fully with the NCAA  self-imposed penalties that were appropriate to the offenses and made significant changes to ensure incidents like this never happen again.
