Today (February 22) is the 35th Anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. There is much fascination with this game and rightly so. Here’s a quote from the Fox News article: The game stands among the greatest achievements in our history, right up there with victory in World War II, the moon landing, and the launch […]

I have long said I would never give a dime to the USOC or the IOC due to the pro athletes in the Olympic Games. BUT I never said, do not support sports or Olympic sports – just find a sport or Olympic hopeful to support and DIRECTLY give to them! Here’s a chance to […]

I am still concerned about the Olympic Games. I have not backed off a bit: It’s still sports imperialism to have pro athletes at the Games because not every nation can field a professional team or train pro athletes in sports like tennis. But I realize that the IOC, the USOC and the moneyed interests […]

My review of the 2009 Anti-Doping Code gets worse for liberty and sovereignty lovers. There is a provision that says if you do not enact the associated with the Anti-Doping Code can’t be in the Olympics! 23.5 Additional Consequences of a Signatory’s Noncompliance with the Code Noncompliance with the Code by any Signatory may result […]

I have said several times that to protest pro sports at the Olympics, don’t give money to the USOC but rather to a sport you support or an amateur Olympic hopeful you know. Now you can do both! Check here and you can support the great sport of curling (now in our Commonwealth due in part […]

156-73 I don’t know what to say I am so angry. I want to join the President Obama apology tour. This kind of outrageous mismatch is exactly the reason why the pro athletes must GO from the Olympic games. They skew the results so as to hinder true competition. They offend other nations needlessly. (And […]

I have written and posted some hard-hitting posts on the Olympics. I like to use words and phrases to get people to read and think (My hero and role model for this is William Lloyd Garrison the abolitionist agitator and he had tough words to say about a number of issues) such as “sports imperialism” […]

The United States Olympic Committee recently sent a “cease and desist” letter to a knitting website named ravelry.com who wanted to have a knitting contest during the Summer Games. From the general counsel’s letter (try not to laugh all at once): “We believe using the name ‘Ravelympics’ for a competition that involves an afghan marathon, […]
