If you saw the "One Day In September" documentary, you learn quickly that the IOC members are miserable excuses of human beings who were livid at the Israeli athletes for having the bad tasted of being kidnapped and massacred at their happy event. They had to be shamed into a minute of silence back in 1972. This behavior is hardly a surprise. TVG -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
