      Fzck that. Print a $1936 reichmark bill with his face on it on one side and his fist on the other.
      Then encase it in titanium..!

    Un gran atleta. En su país regreso para ser portero de un hotel. Estaba sorprendido porque en Berlín podía entrar a cualquier sitio no había apartheid cómo en su país.

    I don't know if someone ever reads it, but i had a story in my English book about Jesse owen,
    Whilst extreme racism and world war 2 happening around, Jesse was very worried about his performance in the Olympics, Until his fellow player (I'm sorry i can't remember the name) who was of German descent cheered him up and wished him luck to perform well in the sporting event,
    Ultimately resulting in Jesse winning gold in the event,
    He was ecstatic and more than that he earned friendship with a good sportsperson

      I have the same chapter in my textbook.....the German whom Jesse met was Luz Long who adviced Jesse when Jesse had committed two fouls in the practice leaps. After Jesse won that event Luz Long congratulated him even though Hitler glared at them from the stands not a hundred yards away.

      @@willhunt8174 No gentleman,
      Luz advised and cheered Jesse up when Jesse felt nervous and felt underconfident when he had committed two fouls in the practice leaps...Jesse feared if he would be able to qualify for the finals...but Luz Long's advice helped Jesse and Jesse not only qualified for the finals but also won the gold medal in the finals.
