It is funny that we boycotted the 1980 Games [in Moscow] in support of Afghanistan, and now we're bombing Afghanistan...

Gee, Carl, which President boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games? |
Quick...name the year, the president and his political party.
Bonus Question, Carl: Name one thing that president did to stop the Soviet Union's aggressions against Afghanistan.
We're waiting.

I'm afraid my monetary output for items having to do with sports and entertainment is going to diminish significantly very soon. I have no desire to support an industry full of whiny little idiots living in glass houses who always develop this obsession with using their public image to talk about that which they do not understand.

Guess he wants the Taliban back & Al-Qaeda running the show. His
complaint of, "we're bombing
Afghanistan", really clinched it.
Yep.
Dumb as a rock.
To: Walkingfeather
Carl's "poofiness" is common knowledge in the track and field community.
To: Hildy
I'm glad Carl Lewis wasn't put on the 1996 4x100 relay team just so he could set a record for the most gold medals. The track coaches let a younger team mate get a chance for a gold medal. Lewis shows he has no class and is in it just for himself.

Criticizing the President for for using the images in an ad is nothing compared to those that have used the olympics to protest. The olympics are supposed to be non political, isn't that why Americans were asked to be low profile, isn't that why Americans didn't carry little American flag in the opening ceremonies?
Yet certain people found it in themselves to make a protest over Colin Powell visiting, and demonstrations took place and he changed his plans.
Seems everyone else is allowed to politicize the olympics except the US or its athletes, who are supposed to be quiet and not draw attention to themselves.

Hey CCCCarrrrlllll, anything like your using your Olympic gold to speak out against your president???
To: dts32041
Carl and how our your drug problems coming along. Did he lose one of his medals because of drugs? Someone was telling me that and I thought they had him mistaken with someone else.

To: Hildy
I'd like to thank Carl Lewis for being the first athlete in history to defend the gutless, cowardly, non-sensical boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
This boycott led to the equally gutless, cowardly, non-sensical boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, which allowed him to 'duplicate' Jesse Owens feat of 4 track and field golds at a single Olympics. Too bad his feat was against a dilluted competitive field.
If only we had boycotted the Olympics in 1936, WWII would have never happened. (sarcasm/off)
