I assume you are too young to understand the mood in country at that time, it is very much possible he expected to be shot. The Mexican police/para military said protesters would be shot on site and the U.S. carried a contingence of federal cops to the Olympics as well. There where snipers stationed throughout the stadium. Btw, the statement by Smith has been reported on and discussed many times over the years.
Thank you. Yes,I underestimated how precarious it all was. Thanks for the post. I don't get why some peopleget mad about me trying to get more educated on this topic. This is why I love forums.
Wrong and you know it. You posted a subject with a bad faith “question” that speculated that either the writer of thr Tommie Smith article or Tommie Smith himself were making up that he was afraid of being shot,.
If you’re not trolling, if you truly don’t understand this about your original post, then you clearly have some sort of developmental disorder, and I would feel sorry for you except for the fact that you have a platform upon which to spew your ignorance, and that platform is called LetsRun.
