    I think we are better than that here.
    I read that the nickname Cassius was given to Smithy by the players.

    Whats wrong with naming him Cassius after the greatest boxer of all time?
    I would love it if it were me.

    Don't see any problem with the nickname. So what if he changed his name when he converted to Islam that doesn't make any reference to Ali's past racist.

    I think you've read too much into it. Footy players are a simple lot. Basic word association gives many their nickname.

    I laughed when I heard the nick. So funny. I'd be chuffed if my moniker was after the greatest boxer of all time.
