Love this song! It’s a regular listen for me. One of a few I’d listen to whenever I was crossing the Ebro.

My book on the popular Olympics is easy to find in a library. There’s no need to buy it, it’s overpriced and academic publishing is exploitative.

If you’d like to know about American athletes who fought fascism here is one example in a piece I wrote for @lincolnbrigade.bsky.social albavolunteer.org/2022/05/chic...
Chick Chakin’s Last Chance - The Volunteer
Like many participants in the 1936 Popular Olympics in Barcelona, Alfred Chakin was a talented athlete. He was also a committed antifascist.

He ended up racing horses and worked as a janitor at a point. There is no shame in manual labor, but he wasn’t treated as a hero for whatever perceived damage he did to the fascist myth of aryan supremacy.

Libs tend to like to make a big thing of Owens because it’s easier than accepting that the USA sent a team to the Berlin games when it was very obvious that they were helping in a fascist project by doing so. Owen’s returned home to the same segregation and bigotry he left.

A musician does not have a very short window at the top of their game that they have to choose how to lose. Nor in this instance is there a choice between the segregation and poverty at home and fascism abroad. Nor is there a large scale boycott of the Super Bowl by athletes

Two things can be bad.
Fwiw the people who felt most strongly that fascism was evil went to Barcelona, like Charlie Burley, but it’s entirely understandable that Owens went to Berlin.

It’s not how the law works, and there seems to be a perception that somehow Minnesota cops are protecting people. This isn’t the case, it was HCSO who kettled protesters and press last week!
