My First Political Statement


O.k. folks this is the first time that I will and maybe the last time I will make a political statement. WE SHOULD NOT BOYCOTT THE ANY PART OF THE OLYMPICS!!!!

Many years ago I had a friend who was a highly ranked American sprinter. World class! His hard work, determination and God given talent allowed him to qualify for the 1980 Olympics which we did not attend. I know that he and other amateur athletes were heart broken that they were not given the chance to compete and complete a once in a life time dream. I know that the world has changed quite a in both politics and athletics since the 1980's, but to boycott the Olympics is just not the way to say "I'll show you."
