Girl tweets about Muhammad Ali and gets famous — for all the wrong reasons!

At a time when everyone across the planet are mourning the loss of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, Twitter user Anadita Patel seems to have settled the “greatest footballer of all time” debate once and for all.
Anadita, who was a relatively unknown name until a few hours ago, started to trend on Twitter after she wrote that Ali is better than the likes of Maradona, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo put together.
Twitter user @BollywoodGandu found the tweet and tweeted a screenshot of it to his followers.

The tweet went viral immediately with everyone were lashing out at her ‘general knowledge’. She, however, issued a clarification later and deleted her account soon after she became a trending topic on Twitter. Screenshots of her clarification are currently doing rounds.

Anadita Patel first makes a mess of Gujarat and then calls Muhammad Ali a footballer. She must resign.

Very few out of the Twitter universe came out in her support.

What Anadita Patel did is not uncommon. Tried to say something cool, belong. But screwed up, being ridiculed mercilessly. Leave her alone

For documentation sake- I’ll just put THIS down as the moment we lost sight of what news actually was.

Amazing to see those people trolling Anadita Patel who declare misogyny, suppression, snooping, etc when female journos/actress are trolled

Anadita Patel is right though. 95% of my TL don’t know who the current heavyweight champion is.

As soon as she deactivated her account, fake profiles and fan profiles started building up.

Kerala sports minister also managed to mess with the death of the great sportsman by praising the gold medals he had won for the state!

Late Muhammad Ali "world champion for equality, peace": UN

The late Muhammad Ali was more than a legendary boxer, he was a world champion for equality and peace, UN Secretary-General has said.
The American heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medallist passed away late on Friday at the age of 74, according to media reports.
Ban Ki-moon expressed deep sadness over the passing of the celebrated athlete and extended his condolences to the Ali family and his many millions of fans globally.
Jocelyne Sambira reports.
Muhammad Ali was widely known as the "Greatest of All Time."
In a statement released on Saturday, the UN chief said the boxing champion fought for a better world and used his platform to help lift up humanity.
And he did so, said Ban Ki-moon, "with an incomparable combination of principle, charm, wit and grace."
As a UN Messenger of Peace, Muhammad Ali travelled the world to support children and others caught up in conflict, and to promote reconciliation between people and nations.
Before taking on this role, he came to the United Nations in the 1970s to campaign against apartheid and racial injustice.
The Secretary-General said he was honoured to join Mr Ali as a flag bearer at the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
Recalling Mr Ali's strength, humour and ability to bring people together, Mr Ban described him as one of the past century's "great humanitarians and advocates for understanding and peace."
