My brother, Greg, headed to London this week to be with his
Athletes in Action Wrestling buddies as they attend the Olympic forty years
after they were in Munich when the Israeli athletes and coaches were killed in
1972. Greg and three of his AIA
teammates were there when it happened.
What sadness. What
horror. ABC Sportscaster, Jim
McKay said, “They are all gone” to a stunned world who watched on live
television.
The 2012 International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not see
fit to pay tribute to the lives of these eleven athletes. Shame on them!
However, during the opening ceremonies last Friday night,
Bob Costas had a moment of silence for the slain athletes whose lives were
taken by terrorists in Munich.
Thank you, Bob Costas, for showing a sense of dignity and sensitivity.
