Politics in The Olympics ?

They do truly say that politics is everywhere. When I saw that politics also took place in sports I could barely believe it. I decided to look up more info about this topic and it took me on a wirlwind of info. Michelle Obama and Barrack is right now in Copenhagen trying to support the olympics in Chigaco and I find this a perfect time to give you a brief history of politics on sports. Well I mean it does make sense to make a political statement at the biggest spectacle ever like the olympics. Adolf Hitler in 1936 wanted to show the world during the olmpics in Berlin who was boss. He wanted to show of what a strong leader he was through the olympics and to promote the aryian race. Also there were many boycotts and countries trying to show their power. Why can't they just play sports? It seems that every olympics has some type of problem. For Vancouver 2010 the local indians are saying that the olympics are being played on their land. I guess its true what they say that there is always sore losers in sports. Sports is a vehicle for politicians !!!
