Whose Olympics Is It Anyway?
The Olympics can play a positive role by serving as an introduction of many foreign sports to the rest of the world.
An Official Change
Currently, the National Football League is the only major professional sport organization that doesn’t pay its officials a salary.
A Separate Year
