Nationalism at Pan American Games in CALI Colombia
The article reviews Avery Brundage’s warning that big international sports events like the Pan Am Games foster nationalism, politics, and professionalism. It recounts historical examples from Berlin 1936 to Tokyo 1964 and Mexico 1968, noting incidents, boycotts, and protests by black U.S. athletes, ending with mixed reactions from smaller Latin nations toward the United States medal emphasis. The piece contrasts national pride with calls for amateurism and international goodwill.
