in history the olympics are meant to be free of politic & religion,like when hitler hosted the games in munich ...its about whos common folks can be the best at the games and AMerica DID win the Gold and seriously how can you not wave ur colors ...its why your there
It seem's as if he put 2 finngers up to the 2 guys who sacrificed there own sports carrer by waving the flag in the ring.Foreman had nothing to lose as he was turning pro anyway.
so porky do u or dont u have an opinion? do u thyink he betrayed tehm ...
the games is about what country can produce teh best athletes and has ALWAYS FOR 1000s of years ....and now why were a few people boycotting the olympics anyway?? what does qualifying too compete in another country and tehn not doing it ...tahts making a fool of yourself more than making a statement about americas own little arrogant problems

u dont have to wonder why history wont remember the names of the ones who boycotted ...
