I imagine it’s because Muhammad Ali hasn’t said much of anything publicly in quite some time. The media reports current events. ‘Crucifying’ Ali today would be akin to dragging up George Wallace, who hasn’t publicly expressed racist views in years. What’s new or interesting about decades-old racist statements? Additionally, one must consider the social context. John Rocker made racist statements post-political correctness. His statements were inappropriate for the time. Muhammad Ali was most vocal during a time when racist speech was part of everyday conversation.
