If u look at Jim Thorpe's accomplishments............and also,,,,,,,,,,note that he was stripped of 2 gold medals.......................racism..............and the deeper reason is the erasing of aboriginal peoples by the alien vampires..............something that is done all over planet earth...........whether it is done in Africa.........or to the aborigines in Australia.............or the people still in the Amazon rain forest...........

It is attempted genocide..............and a hostile alien invasion ..................








In the year 2000, Time magazine named Michael Jordan as the best athlete of the 20th century............a bias i think mainly b/c of recent memory, and television...........



James Francis "JimThorpe (Sac and Fox (Sauk)Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as "Bright Path";[1] May 28, 1888 – March 28, 1953)[2] was an American athlete of Native American and European ancestry. Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won Olympic gold medals for the 1912 pentathlonand decathlon, played American football (collegiate and professional), and also played professional baseball and basketball. He lost his Olympic titles after it was found he was paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics, thus violating the amateurism rules that were then in place. In 1983, 30 years after his death, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) restored his Olympic medals.
Thorpe grew up in the Sac and Fox Nation in Oklahoma. He played as part of several all American Indian teams throughout his career, and "barnstormed" as a professional basketball player with a team composed entirely of American Indians.
From 1920 to 1921, Thorpe was nominally the first president of the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which would become the National Football League (NFL) in 1922.
He played professional sports until age 41, the end of his sports career coinciding with the start of the Great Depression. Thorpe struggled to earn a living after that, working several odd jobs. Thorpe suffered from alcoholism, and lived his last years in failing health and poverty.
In a poll of sports fans conducted by ABC Sports, Thorpe was voted the Greatest Athlete of the Twentieth Century out of 15 other athletes including Muhammad AliBabe RuthJesse OwensWayne GretzkyJack Nicklaus, and Michael Jordan.[3][4
