I don't make that stuff up or just throw it around without consideration. It's a FACT, he opposed a boycott of the '68 games and the Black Power spectacle at the games and was called names for it.

I do TRY to get my facts correct and Rush Limbaugh has fuck all to do with this
So it was the two black Olympians who were on the pedestal that were also boycotting the Olympics at that particular Olympics
You got your names wrong,because it was the black power salute that caused all the fuss to this day
And it wasnt even supposed to be a black power salute
