Thank you for putting this out. I love reading it.
I have some recommendations, maybe for a future feature, if you would be interested. I WOULD LOVE TO READ ABOUT THOSE written from your perspectives.
1. The political history of the olympics.
2. Why did Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc had more fighting gold medalists and gymnasts than United States?
3. The history of Romanian gymnastics coming into the United States.
Let me expand on my last point, Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast in the world to be awarded a 10 during the olympics at Montreal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi_5xbd5xdE Her, and many others, have either left the country illegally coming into the United States or Canada where they would continue to reside until today. Aurelia Dobre - another 10 gymnast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelia_Dobre resides in the United States, and is the mother of the famous vloggin duo - Dobre Brothers.
But the most infamous case is of the coaches of those gymnasts, the Karolyi family. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/29235446/the-karolyi-ranch-where-us-women-gymnastics-gold-was-forged-price They trained Nadia and not only and at a point started their own coaching center in the United States. The investigation posses some interesting question, and another thing to consider is that they are only a small part of the sports' export from Eastern Europe into the United States.
Definitely loved your criticism of non-partisanship that dominates sports. I was extremely disappointed by the wildcat strike of the NBA this summer to be put down by Obama and all the team players to suddenly just say: Vote.
While voting is a tool of advancing certain causes we believe in and making sure others do not exist or do not manifest that much influence, it will never go alone as a changing-force. It must be paired with something else and history proves us that very simply. If we look at FDR being elected, or on the farther opposite side of the spectrum, at Reagan getting the presidency, those did not simply happen just because of voting. The economic conditions, the unrest of that time and the multitude of strategies and tactics that were taking place influenced deeply the outcomes.
For this reason, I am sad to witness NBA ceasing their strike which was applauded by so many people. We must also remember that Obama was the one that said that they should stop striking and focus instead of voting.
