Founding Futbol is about moments that helped grow soccer in America. But there is one event we've decided to cover that breaks that mold – the 1980 Olympic Boycott. The US Men's National Team was unable to compete in Moscow in 1980, setting the program and this country's pursuit of international success back years, possibly decades. In many ways, it also contributed to the continuing decline of the North American Soccer League (NASL), and the combination of factors led to possibly the darkest period in modern American soccer history. While the immediate outcomes were unquestionable negative, it forced executives to reconsider the path our country would take to making soccer a prominent and sustainable sport. This chapter connects the dots of how an event that didn't happen triggered a series of decisions that put us back on track to embracing the world's game in a uniquely American way. Our guest on this episode is former USMNT player Ty Keough. The son of legendary USMNT player Harry Keough, Ty also coached collegiately at Washington University for eleven years and covered four World Cups as a broadcaster, working for ESPN, ABC and TNT. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

This weekend, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, lots of Democratic politicians, Republican politicians and corporate weapons manufacturers, fossil fuel companies and Wall Street will engage in their annual performance praising Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy of non-violence and racial harmony. This particularly disgusting in 2024 as Biden is pouring weapons into Israel fueling the slaughter of Palestinians, pouring weapons into Ukraine fueling a bloody war in Europe, bombing Yemen and so much more. In response to this nausea inducing displace, we're reposting our MLK day episode from 2021. In it, we talk about the radical politics of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We discuss King's democratic socialist beliefs, his stance against the war in Vietnam, the campaigns he worked on, --including the 1968 Olympic Boycott and the Poor People's Campaign--, and his thoughts on property destruction. ---------------------------------------- Links// +Buzzanco: MLK for Sale (http://bit.ly/2LzGR9S) +Martin Luther King on riots and property destruction (http://bit.ly/3nHPvAk) +VIDEO: Beyond Vietnam - A Time to Break Silence (https://bit.ly/3spBgnr) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast +Our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast production.

Craig Beardsley is a former World Record holder in the 200 Fly. He qualified for the 1980 Olympics but didn't get to compete due to President Jimmy Carter's boycott. Beardsley set the World Record of 1:58.21 in the 200- meter butterfly on July 30, 1980, one week after the Olympic Games—a time that was over a second faster than Soviet swimmer Sergey Fesenko‘s gold medal time in the 1980 Olympic finals. After the United States–led boycott of the Moscow Olympics, Beardsley continued to train. He held both the American and World Records from 1980 to 1983. Swimming World Magazine named Beardsley its American Male Swimmer of the Year in 1981. He was a two-time NCAA champion in the 200 Fly and was an 8x All-American honors while swimming for Randy Reese and the Florida Gators. After his swimming career was over, Craig got introduced to Swim Across America and has been involved for nearly 3 decades raising money for cancer research. Craig was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in October of 2022 along with Jon Sieben, another former 200 Fly World Record holder. Today is Giving Tuesday.

In the twenty-third episode of Geostrategy360, Viktorija talks to our Associate Fellow in Indo-Pacific Geopolitics, Matthew Henderson. They discuss the reasons several countries have decided to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics, the case of Peng Shuai, and how China has reacted so far.
In their final episode for 2021, Allan and Darren kick things off by discussing President Biden's “Summit for Democracy”. Having debated the merits of democracy as a foreign policy organising principle in Episode 77, they now ask: was the actual summit a net positive, despite controversies prior to and during proceedings? It seems clear Beijing was displeased, but Allan and Darren partially disagree on whether a “competition of systems” is the right frame to understand these dynamics. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken rolled out the Biden administration's much-anticipated Indo-Pacific Strategy – but was there much there? Next up, PM Scott Morrison hosted South Korea's President Moon Jae-in, the first visit of a foreign leader to Australia since borders closed. Was this a significant visit, and was it more about geopolitics, or economics? How much scope is there for cooperation between Australia and South Korea? Third, Australia does appear to be participating in a political boycott of the Beijing Olympics, but PM Morrison's announcement of this decision was rather unorthodox. What's going on, and can such boycotts be effective? Darren is interested in how the case of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai is elevating public visibility of human rights issues, creating extra pressure on Beijing, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as the February games approach. Finally, both the Olympic boycott and, prior to that, the momentous AUKUS decision were not announced to the public with speeches or formal statements. Is this a growing trend in the public articulation of Australian foreign policy? Does it matter? Best wishes for the holiday season to all, we'll be back in 2022!

The cast tackles the Joel Osteen news. We also touch on the Olympic "Boycott". Chubbie Bandz took a shit at work?! The Heisman is a joke!
There is lots to discuss today and it all begins with Hilary Clinton. Will this woman please go away and leave us alone! She remains way too active on the talk and lecture circuit and it has gotten to be too much for me. From there we talk about the Amazon Cloud breakdown and whether that makes you feel ancient (apparently if you feed your pets without an internet device you are ancient!). I get upset with the imprisonment of a former Danish Immigration Minister and the hypocrisy of the EU with their Rule of Law. We look at WW2 Allies and enemies and come to realize how those designations have changed in the past 70 years. We analyze the vote in New Caledonia and its effect on global politics. I also discuss the Olympic Boycott this coming February and China's threats to those countries who have diplomatic boycotts. Finally, we have some books and movie recommendations for the holiday season.

Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai had been missing for two weeks...following her accusation against a former Chinese government official. Concern for Peng Shuai has been growing internationally...so the Chinese government released photos and video of her over the weekend. Of course...this gesture didn't alleviate international concern for the well-being of Peng Shuai. We explain the situation...and the mainstream media reaction to this story. For the past decade...the media has been pushing Chinese propaganda. Their coverage of Peng Shuai represents a surprising shift in the media perspective of China. We explain how the Peng Shuai situation could be enough to push an international boycott of the Beijing Olympics.

This week's episode is a compilation of two recent interviews from the radio. First, Craig Hoffman chats with Crooked Media co-founder and co-host of Pod Save The World Tommy Vietor about the potential for an Olympic Boycott in 2022 in Beijing. Why is it being considered? Why would it probably not work? What could be done to accomplish the goal of ending human rights abuses in China instead? Plus, what if an athlete protested in China during the games?Next, Craig chats with epidemiologist, physician and author Dr. Abdul El-Sayed about sports and the coronavirus. How should teams, fans and leagues be handling fans returning to arenas? What is safe and what precautions still need to be taken? Plus, what can we do to ensure stadiums are full in the fall?Support the show (http://HoffmanShow.com)

China’s government warned Washington on Wednesday not to boycott next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing after the Biden administration said it was talking with allies about a joint approach to complaints of human rights abuses. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejected accusations of abuses against ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region. He warned of an unspecified “robust Chinese response” to a potential Olympics boycott. Human rights groups are protesting China’s hosting of the games, due to start in February 2022. They have urged a boycott or other measures to call attention to accusations of Chinese abuses against Uyghurs, Tibetans and residents of Hong Kong. The U.S. State Department suggested an Olympic boycott was among the possibilities but a senior official said later a boycott has not been discussed. The International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have said in the past they oppose boycotts. We discuss the potential repercussions of a U.S. boycott of the China games and their ripple effects to the 2028 Los Angeles games. With files from the Associated Press. Guests: David Wharton, feature sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times who’s been covering the Olympics; he tweets @LATimesWharton Stephen Cheung, president of World Trade Center Los Angeles, a nonprofit organization that focuses on attracting foreign direct investments to the Los Angeles region; he is also the chief operating officer for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), a non-profit that promotes and secures economic activity for the region; he tweets @WTCLAStephen Nicholas Evan Sarantakes, associate professor of strategy and policy at U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island, historian and author of the book “Dropping the Torch: Jimmy Carter, the Olympic Boycott, and the Cold War,” (Cambridge University Press, 2010)

Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney is saying the United States should partially boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing in an Op-Ed published by the New York Times yesterday because of China’s oppression of Hong Kong, and internment of Muslim Uyghurs, which has been termed a genocide by human rights groups. Romney argued that rather than forbid athletes from participating, the U.S. should economically and diplomatically boycott the games. WTBU Commentator Patrick Donnelly argues that while Romney is on the right path, he’s not hitting the mark fully.

This episode is a rebroadcast of our look at the 1980 Olympic boycott. It happened 40 years ago, but contains some lessons for what athletes are facing today. On this day, BMX competition was originally scheduled to begin in Tokyo. But in March, as rising COVID-19 cases sent nations scrambling, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee announced that Canadians would not go to the 2020 Games. Two days later, the IOC said it would postpone the 2020 Olympics for a year.Recently, as we passed the one-year-to-go-until-the-rescheduled-Olympics date, talk of cancelling the 2021 Games started up. On July 22, the president of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee Yoshiro Mori said to Japanese media that if the pandemic continued has it had been so far, the Games could not go ahead in 2021. A few days before that, the Kyodo news agency released the results of a poll that showed that only 23.9 per cent of the people surveyed throughout Japan thought the Olympics should be held. A segment as large as 36.4 per cent thought the Games should be postponed again. From the survey, 33.7 per cent said the Games should be cancelled.With the threat of Olympic cancellation creeping in once again, let’s listen to track cyclists Gordon Singleton and Steve Bauer, and road cyclist Louis Garneau as they discuss the time, 40 years ago, that the Olympics didn’t happen for Canadian athletes.
This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the Moscow 1980 Olympics, which may be better known for the 66-country boycott of them. Our TKFLASTANI archivist Teri Hedgpeth joins us to talk about the boycott and a new exhibit she put together for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee that honors the US athletes who were affected by it. Follow Teri on LinkedIn! We are working on a side project about the 1980 boycott from a global aspect, so if you were involved or have historical context to present, we would be interested in talking with you. Please email us at flamealivepod@gmail.com and put “boycott” in the subject line, and we’ll get back to you to talk further.

Henry Bushnell of Yahoo Sports joins the show and takes a look back at the Olympic boycott of 1980.
This week we start by noting that the sports world was quite boring this week. Nothing grabbed our attention and maybe that's a good thing. Then we move into a discussion of The Last Dance. How do we understand Rodman in our context? How did Jordan become who he is? How valuable was Jerry Krause to this team? Then we move into our main topic: the 1980 Olympic Boycott. How do we understand Jimmy Carter's decision to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics? How has the decision aged? How did it impact Carter's legacy? Was it effective? Could it ever happen again? Lastly, we finish with a new trivia segment! Music: Trad Godsey

We wanted to have a guest who could relate to having a chance to not only swim fast but represent her country, be taken away, through no fault of her own. Nancy Hogshead-Makar, J.D., is an American swimmer who represented the United States at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where she won three gold medals and one silver medal. She also was a member of the 1980 US Olympic Team that was part of the boycott. She is currently the CEO of Champion Women, an organization leading targeted efforts to advocate for equality and accountability in sport. Focus areas include equal play, such as traditional Title IX compliance in athletic departments, sexual harassment, abuse, and assault, as well as employment, pregnancy, and LGBT discrimination. In 2012 she began working on legislative changes to assure club and Olympic sports athletes were as protected from sexual abuse. In 2018, the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and SafeSport Authorization Act was finally enacted.

The Gold Medalist Master Distillers discuss a mess of topics in this episode.Craig refuses to compete in the Olympics because they are being held during Lent. Then Mark, Timothy, and Craig take on an email asking why they bag on other denominations and if the Master Distillers see those churches as Christian. Then, of course, a weird discussion on Transgendered Pastors and self-identifying as something other than what you actually are. Finally, the Master Distillers talk about the persecution of the church in N. Korea and around the world. Christians are being murdered for their faith and we hear so little about it.

As a young, patriotic American, I was torn by the boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. On the one hand, I knew already as an eleven-year-old, long before Ronald Reagan had uttered the phrase, that the Soviet Union was the Evil Empire. Their invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 was not only an act of unjust aggression, it was also the first step of the Soviet leadership’s insidious plan to seize the Persian Gulf, squeeze off the supply of oil, and then easily defeat a weakened America. Knowing all this, as I did, there was no question about whether the U.S. should participate in an Olympics held in the very capital of our enemy. But on the other hand, after the U.S. hockey team’s victory at the Winter Olympics in February 1980, I recognized that by boycotting the summer games, we were giving up our chance to inflict even more humiliating defeats on the Soviets. As spring turned to summer, I found myself wishing that our athletes were going to Moscow–to kick some Soviet butt. Recent studies of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan make clear that the American view of the invasion as part of Moscow’s plan for world domination was woefully wrong (you can hear interviews with the authors of these books on New Books in History and New Books in Russia and Eurasia). But as Nicholas Sarantakes explains in his diplomatic history of the boycott, Dropping the Torch: Jimmy Carter, the Olympic Boycott, and the Cold War (Cambridge University Press, 2010), most Americans did support the withdrawal from the Moscow Games. Jimmy Carter’s announcement of the boycott in January 1980 had near-unanimous approval. And even though this high level of support waned over the following months, especially after the “Miracle on Ice,” a majority of Americans continued to back the boycott. Outside of the United States, however, the boycott was a fiercely contested issue. Much of Nick’s book describes clumsy American diplomacy and debates within countries such as Britain and Australia, whose governments declared support for their U.S. allies while national Olympic committees refused to submit to Washington’s wishes. The boycott was a diplomatic flop, one that revealed the bumbling of the Carter Administration as well as the personal intransigence and heavy-handed politics of Jimmy Carter. Several allies of the U.S. sent their athletes to Moscow. And the Games did go on, with a good measure of success. At the same time, though, the Moscow Games and the boycott are a turning point in the contemporary history of the Olympics. This summer’s Olympics in London will be a lucrative, made-for-TV spectacle of international tourism and corporate sponsorship (with some high-quality athletics at the center, of course). But the good will and high revenues of London 2012 would not have been possible without the muddle of 1980. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a tribute (of sorts) to Bob Dole, Mike comes in hot on the Supreme Court's decision on the Texas abortion case. That surprises Jay, who feels it's a victory (of sorts) for abortion providers in Texas. Mike agrees with Chief Justice Roberts who, in his partial dissent, argues that “it is the role of the Supreme Court in our constitutional system that is at stake.”Next, they discuss the debt ceiling deal that was reached this week, getting into the legislative politics of it all as well as patting themselves on the back for calling it correctly (not that it was all that difficult to conclude that in the end the United States government wouldn't default on its debt). Following that they delve into US foreign policy, in a look at the Biden-Putin talks over Ukraine and the Biden administration's announcement that US diplomats will be boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. Then it's a discussion of the merits of the Department of Justice's lawsuit against Texas for alleged violations of the Voting Rights Act in creating their new congressional and state legislative districts. They agree that the VRA's racial gerrymandering standards are awfully vague, but Mike believes they still serve a useful purpose, while Jay isn't so convinced of that. After delving into the latest developments surrounding COVID, including a Senate vote to repeal the Biden administration's workplace vaccine mandate, Mike & Jay look to the future, with their best and worst case predictions for 2022 and years beyond. Mike thinks Democrats have plenty of reasons to be concerned, and while Jay agrees he's far more optimistic about the demise of authoritarian populism than Mike is.The Politics Guys on Facebook | TwitterListener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
