In 1912, Native American Olympian Jim Thorpe had his running shoes stolen the morning of the event.
When somebody stole his shoes right before he was set to compete in the Olympics, it was probably no big deal to Jim. He simply put on two other shoes that someone had tossed in a trash can. They were different sizes, though, so he had to wear extra socks on one foot to even them out.

Then you might remember that his medal was taken away when it became known that he had taken money to play minor league baseball.

And this year’s men’s basketball team has a total NBA salary of 3.6 Billion, more than the GDP of most Caribbean countries…
