Sports, Politics and the Olympics

During the summer of the Olympics in Munich, Germany in 1972 the Munich massacre took place. An estimate almost of 11 people were taken into hostage and later on killed from the Israeli Olympic team. Most of the other hostage were captured from the Israeli team and taken into jails by the terrorist organization and these prisoners were demanded to be released. I believe this summer of the Olympic Games reflects back on the sage & eitzen’s the exploration of sport by Politian’s involved. In this case it shows how a huge conflict just like at these games caused a lot of trouble creating fear amongst our people. I deeply disagree with the “Sport is a pure devoid of political interference” simply because I believe that this chaos showed to put an end to a political case like this. This conflict that was brought to the Olympics completely destroyed who we are as people. Our peace in the world and the power of justice.
