Jim Thorpe photo with explanation.

Believe it or not ...

i used to buy my shoes like that. 8.5 for my right foot, and 8.75 for my left. the 8.5 was kinda loose, but an 8.25 was just too tight. the 8.75 was kinda loose, but the 8.5 was way way too tight. they took his medals from him because he had a job.

what needs to happen is ALL 1912 medals need taken back, and re-presented to the real winners. and, ALL olympic committee judges who ruled against Jim to as of that date, be expelled from further deciding actions. ( dont even get me started about Rose ).

I'm not familiar with this, but if you feel that redress has not been met in favor of the proper medal winners, do inform your congress members and the olympic committee. I'm sure they'd be interested in this issue.

no. they are NOT. they only wish to suck Bob Costas' dick

Great story thank you. The IOC still won't recognize a great athlete like Jim Thorpe but are happy to hand out medals to men in lipstick competing in women's sport.
