The coupling of athletes to nationalities is rather unnecessary.
You don’t want athletes telling you how to run a country.
You don’t want politics tainting sports.

I remember that one. Reception was horrible on the antenna and it was like watching them play in a snowstorm. Couldn't follow the puck. Wouldn't have made much difference, anyway. Dixie rednecks didn't know much about hockey, except yankees and furriners played it on ice.

Didn't matter. When our bunch of amateurs beat what was essentially one of the best professional teams in the world, we were all screaming and hollering at the top of our lungs.

Yep. I was a kid in Florida watching it, same holds.

I was on call, at work at the U. Someone brought a TV into the office, and we watched.

No cable, no remote control, rabbit ears, in my unbelievably cheap 1-bedroom apartment in Alexandria, good times.
