re: #241 Eclectic Cyborg

In the days of the Roman Gladiators, some of the competitors endorsed commercial products, just as athletes do today. Money has been around sports almost forever.

I remember how the IOC screwed Jim Thorpe out of his medals and Pennsylvania Democrats stood up in the legislature and demanded an apology and finally got it from those assholes in 1984 when they restored his medals. Too little and too late from those assholes and that’s why I believe the whole Olympic scam is just a joke.
