in the film didnt his father stop him boxing afterwards so they would not mess up the on going law suit agaisnt resto and panama and mess the compensation up.
Hitler refused to shake any medal winners hands, its a myth that he only snubbed Owens. Owens was treated far worse when he returned to America.:deal
WAIT A SECOND, next thing you are gonna tell me is that Germany did not bomb Pearl Harbour or Iraq did not have WMDs . . . Learn your history man:deal
he was a celebrity in germany, but the germans wouldn't have treated him with any less reverence. the 1936 summer olympics were meant to cast Nazi Germany, falsely, in a positive light, and it did. i'm sure you know what happened after that, and that's why it's the greatest disgrace in sports history.
that's not true, Hitler refused to shake any medal winner's hands, AFTER cornelius johnson, the first black american athlete to win a medal at that olympiad, won his medals. hitler left instead of shaking his hand, and when officials told him he needed to shake all hands, he refused to shake the hands of all competitors. look it up.
Yup, it wasn't until our British Illimuinist/FreeMason partners were going down until we landed in Normandy.:think
They seam to have selective memories, they do not mention that Owens could not drink from the same tap as those from the whites in the USA on the history chanel when they talk about the evil Nazi's and the heroic Americans.
Whenever I hear "boxing disgraces" I automatically think of James Butler...He's a ****ing punk for what he did!
