Ok. This is horrible. This week we talk the Olympics from 1950 - 1980. Some fun stuff happens, some records are broken. Mark Spitz wins 7 gold medals in swimming, with a mustache! We really feel like that might have slowed him down.
But, the big horrible story is the Massacre at Connollystraße 31 on September 5, 1972. Eleven Israeli athletes were taken hostage by members of "Black September," a Palestinian terrorist group. Two are killed in the Olympic Village and the rest are killed in a gun/grenade battle on an airfield later. They were husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. Trapped in a constant cycle of revenge that sees no sign of stopping.
