This 1980 World Invitational Track + Field Meet was held in Peking, China just prior to the 1980 Moscow Olympic Game that the peanut picking US President Jimmy Carter decided to boycott…..thus establishing with this lil ole chiweenie Sportsphile forever that THE WORST TICS ARE POLI-TICS….as it will forever be our opinion that there is NOT PLACE in sports for politics.
The truth be known, the USA men’s 4 x 100m relay team consisting of Willie Smith, Harvey Glance, Fred Taylor and Stanley Floyd…..who won this event at this 1980 World Invitational Meet in China…..as seen in the video herewith…..were robbed of their lifelong dreams to run for their country in the Olympics…..and why sports, especially the Olympic Games, should NEVER be used a a political tool….as it was by that Lil Peanut Picker Jimmy Carter.
