@MTVMANN The U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001 not 2003, I think your thinking about Iraq which we invaded Iraq for a whole other reason, they had nothing to do with 9/11

@TR3Y4LI4E We had a reason for our invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union did not. Their invasion was unprovoked and the only reason they did it was to spread communism and make another satellite state. Plus the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, we invaded in 2001, that is a 22 year difference.

The fucking IOC should have immediately revoked the games from Russia but we too stupid and too weak to do so. Dont blame Carter, blame the losers in the IOC who basically sucked each others dicks and nothing else

@irinmar I totally agree, politics should stay away from the sport.

@britgymfan It was more of a formality; being an Olympian in name was what the USOC could offer them by that point. At least that's how some saw it: Kurt Thomas, who almost definitely would have been on that Olympic team, saw the Trials as pointless and refused to participate.

In this video (from 0:19 to 0:35) is Bart Conner. Conner didn't support the US Boycott of the Moscow Olympics. After he underwent surgery for a torn biceps, Conner qualified for the 1984 Summer Olympics, where he won two gold medals. He later married Nadia Comaneci, who did participate in the Moscow Olympics, in 1996 and had a son named Dylan Conner in 2006.

The two boycotts - 1980 by the US and 1984 by the Soviet bloc - were the stupidest things you could imagine. The athletes got in the midst of dirty political games. I remember being very sad when our athletes didn't go to LA in 1984 (I am Russian). The stupid "Friendship" games that the Soviets organized could not compare to the Olympics. Imagine training hard for 4 years and then you hear that your politicians decided not to send anyone. Such a disgrace.

Carter's boycott of the Moscow Olympics did nothing to get the Russians out of Aghainstan. Reagan's arming of the Afghan rebels did.

1980 Moscow Olympics to personally represent the POC, despite the absence of a Philippine Delegation due to the boycott spearheaded by the United States in protest over the occupation of the Afghanistan by the Soviet Union. :-(
